I bet there was a lot of screaming at the video when this was shown, though I imagine mostly not for the same reason as you, lol

Them hitting us with the Raphael Adolini pistol and then revealing this was unexpected indeed

I'm also excited for this one. I mean, how many Jungle and City Hunter preds do we need? This one has a unique look with some awesome weaponry. Very excited.

?!? - are they doing a 1:1 scale flintlock?

No, they show symbols on the screen before each segment of the showcase to tease what the segment will be about (a Superman logo, a facehugger, a white rabbit, etc). For this one, they showed the Adolini flintlock so myself and others thought we'd see the Elder from Predator 2. I'd forgotten the flintlock makes an appearance in Prey as well.

Ah - that's a shame. Thanks for the explanation

Was looking forward to Wolf but that’s a lot of money saved for something else this year. Oh well.

I’m ok just appreciating this from far.

 

[Shoo]

Damn, this’ll be the 7th Pred, with the Elder announcement being the 8th and still no Wolf

This looks great though.

Each to their own - and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" . . . but I'm gobsmacked that anyone would pay $2700/$3000 USD for that thing (SMH).

Appreciate the news update though bud

[Jaycepticon]

Yeah. I can’t see these moving much until discounts later down the road.

It's an impressive statue however it's Predator in name only. That unmasked portrait is awful - was bad at the time and still laughable now.

Just doing my civic duty, this one's not on my list either.

The only other Predator that would tempt me from this line is the P2 Elder. I was hoping his base would be smaller due to him only ever standing straight in the film, but of course Prime 1 couldn't resist including one of the pillars from the ship lobby. I only have room for one giant Predator in the collection (and my sore back is starting to debate even that), so he'd have to be extra compelling to replace Jungle. Due to the weight and custom display stands, these feel more like installation pieces than your average statues. Best I've ever seen, but such pains to deal with.

Prime 1 would make a killing if they scaled these down to 1/4 and maintained the paint quality. Any company would, really.

I'm not over the potato head either, but at this point what I miss most is the armor and netting. Even with the mask on, he feels so naked. Had the same problem with the "Assassin" from The Predator. These guys ought to be kitted up to look like cyborg samurai.

Statue gods listen to this man, bestow upon us this greatness.
