That's 'Jungle Demon' from StatueForum.

Got mine today. Happy with the piece. Some technical issues aside (couldn’t get the legs into the base) it’s truly awesome. Will do more pics later and add the green to the base. No time for that today.

Anyone else notice the dreads on the left in the photo and the left side of the head both look like they've been somewhat deglossed? Heat can do that. I once ruined a vacu-chromed plastic model trying to fix a warped piece with heat.

it does look a bit like that on the left side now that you meniton it but the right side of frame still looks glossy with those sharp highlights so it could just be diffused lighting on the left rather than a defined reflective source

I'll be trying heating up the dreads on the gort mask portrait first though and see if it does cause any issues

Glad I don't mind how the dreads look out of the box. A bit flat compared to the prototype, sure, but there's so much else they got right. Maybe I'll try wedging a piece of soft foam without any heat and replace it with a slightly thicker piece every few days. If it works, great. If not, no biggie.


EDIT: New video in Czech from MKCollector.



Watching this, I wonder if they slimmed the body down since the prototype. None of the in-hand shots I've seen look as squat or as wide as in the original video reveal. Proportions are quite nice here. Maybe they used a funky lens while filming the interviews?

Heated up the dreads on the Gort mask and on one of the unmasked heads. Can report no gloss loss or any other damage.

Anyone else waiting on collectiblesdirect for this beast? I’m starting to feel left out but I’m assuming we’re still in for a bit of a wait lol

Guys I got my statue. Could not put together yet because I am waiting for the table.

However it looks like on the prop biomask my lenses not glued in properly (you can see the edges of the lenses) and also there is some kind of paint under the right lense. I am wondering are yours similar or I should try and get a replacement?

Hey guys, yea, i've got my Bonus Deluxe version coming with CDUK. I actually spoke with Lee last week and stock has unfortunately been delayed until mid April which is a bit of a bummer as it was originally expected anytime now. Looks like the best things come to those who wait!

With that said, i got my Prime 1 limited edition closed mandibles bust last week and if that's any standard to go by then we're in for a treat once the full statue arrives!

thanks for the update and I agree seeing the closed mouth bust in person has gotten me even more excited for the full statue now

Thanks man. My Birthday is mid April, that’d be a nice present lol.

I’ve still no idea how I’m going to display this. It’s the ultimate collectible for me. Like a fantasy since I was a kid (on this forum even back then at the age of 15, I’m 31 next lol).

I’m thinking it’s definitely going to have to be something custom given the weight and size, and in that case, expensive. I’m likely willing to fork out if it’s not insanely ridiculous but I don’t even know where to look or what I’d actually really want.

The small pedestal like table I have set up and ready right now looks sturdy enough but I don’t trust it and it’s far from ideal.

Have you considered Pedestal Source?

Who did you get the bust from, was it prime direct? Im also in the uk.

I did indeed order direct through Prime 1 buddy. Originally, i wanted to order through Collectibles Direct as i did with the full statue but sadly Lee said he wasn't able to obtain stock of the limited edition closed mandibles bust so then my only other option was to go direct

It was my first ever time ordering from Prime 1, was all pretty straightforward and shipping was literally 2 days! Only downside as you can imagine was the shipping and tax but i knew it would be a one off so on this occasion i made the exception (and i wasn't disappointed!) The bust is insanely good.

Can’t get enough of this beast. Truly awesome statue. I even don’t mind the decals. Maybe I will do a repaint maybe not. Im bad at taking photos so sorry for the quality.

Im desperate to get one. Looks great all the pic's that have been posted. Im on the prime 1 wait list but maybe jumped on a bit late, so looks like i'll just need to be patient.
