I was in the checkout and saw it was gonna cost almost $800 to ship to NY.... I hope Sideshow carries this.
They will but the payments will be impossible. They’re not as friendly with the payments on the big ticket items.
If you preorder it, your stuck with just that one piece on order for the remaining year or more.
At least with Prime1s lower payments, it allows you to have multiples on order
I'm fairly certain that I read somewhere that you can message them for alternative flex arrangements. It's also possible I imagined this entirely. But it might be worth at least asking them via live chat or something when this goes up on Sideshows site....
I absolutely love the face sculpt and overall look of this piece. However the two things that glaringly stare out at me that are bothersome are the following:
- Predator dreds seem to have a very flat, non impressive look to them. Can’t quite put my finger on it but I feel like they could have been better.
- The facemask, when displayed on the bust, seems to hover too far off the sculpt. Now I’m sure having the quills on the bust may have something to do with it but it doesn’t look right. It’s like the mask is just resting against the quills but not actually being worn by the sculpt.
That video shows off the bios, plasma canon and armour and I think they're all awful
While I absolutely love prime 1's work here, I just can't get into that anemic looking plasma cannon on this new Pred.
And I’m really digging the Egyptian vibe of this character. Dont know why people don’t like it.
Yeah, eqyptian good call. It does kinda, i do like it. And its kind of fitting being how the Predator lore and AVP lore is now one and the same and we know the Predators showed the humans how to build the pyramids. Id like the regular version of this, i dont want to pay $500 to get an extra mask with a damaged eye ( which i do really like though ). I just want to see the movie first, i just want to make sure im not putting all my eggs in one basket. There might be another design thats been kept hidden from us. Would hate to drop a pre-order if it goes up before the movie and lose my NRD finding out theres another hero Predator with a cooler design and Fugitive was a decoy or something.And I’m really digging the Egyptian vibe of this character.

I'm not sure it does look Egyptian? Other than the colour pallet having a little Gold. If it did look Egyptian (ancient and well used with subtle historic references) It could be cool. But it doesn't, it just looks like a plastic gold football player to me. I'm guessing that his outfit will be produced by humans who captured him, it's the only way this look would be acceptable to me in comparison to the beautiful Predator suits we've seen before which were all very traditional and simple. To be fair, I'm all for the thought of certain Predator clans going in different directions and looking more modern, but ultimately this one just isn't as well executed as some of the older suits. It just doesn't look good to me, it looks very generic, more power ranger than Predator and I really dislike the mask also . . .
