Scar Predator Mask - Life-Size Prop Replica

[Jaycepticon]

I wonder if there's any customizers out there who wouldn't mind making quality lenses that would be easily swappable with this crappy paper ones?

i just watched faken's video on the scar. the lenses should not be plastic. i guess they are trying to save any money they can and cut corners. the plastic lenses are junk!

They may have used paper mesh for the visor....I mean, why do they make it out of fiberglass and not metal?

All I care about is, i'll have an offical CP mask.

It's not, read the ADI book. Hard to look through paper Hey if you want to justify the use of paper on something that costs hundreds of dollars, go for it, it's your wallet. But I don't think you'll have much success convincing anyone else that this is a sensible move by Sideshow.

I wonder if they will actually use the various mesh patterns that each AvP helmet had. If you watch the movie you can see that the chopper has no mesh, it's just a shiny plastic lense with like a speckled noise effect on it. You can pause it at 53:24 in the theatrical version right where he's face to face with the alien that just speared him and for a second or two you get a full shot of just the lenses showing the reflection of the alien about to puncture his face.

Then at 56:29 when the celtic is fighting the alien, you get a similar shot when the alien breaks out of the deployed netting and jumps on top of the celtic. You can see it's the same material as what the chopper has.

So hopefully they don't use the same paper mesh thing for all 3

If you check out the high resolution photos of the celtic on the sideshow site, they DO appear to have the right texture for the lenses:

But to me, it doesn't look like a plastic lense, I'm thinking it's simply part of the paint job and there are no eye holes or anything. They left the eyes covered in resin and will simply paint the area with the correct texture. If they do that, I think it's a poor decision...

would you happen to have high-res shots of all the other bio's?

commented and rated faken.

great review.
yeaa !! that's weak. paper lens, come on !!!
why not do the same great work used in the WOLF.
overall the piece looks cool but I will rather have P1 AND P2 helmets to go with my wolf helmet.

Just cancelled it.
The Endoskull converting was what pushed me over - I can't really afford to keep both, and the T800 takes priority, how could I turn that down!!

 

[mr.thrifty]

cancelling this on friday!! poor... very very poor.

I'll pay the $20 rather than $300+.....

now the wait to see how they F up the Celtic and Chopper....

i think i might have to pass on this as well! still cant understand why they used paper? i am sorry, but compared to the wolf i just got, that is not good. IMO

Uruk Hai PF = $319 > Scar Bio = $299

I hate Scar, so I could care less. His mask looks cruddy to me anyway.

Awesome how you knew the extact time..
Now thats a predator fan !.

Mine will be here in 1 more week and although I can't say I'm not disappointed after watching Faken's review once more, I'm still holding onto mine until the Celtic/Chopper ones come out to see if it's still worth it after I have all 4 side by side

The fact that he actually watched the movie again to pause it at that moment shows how hardcore he is.

i have mine and the lense really bugs me but oh well.. i think i might go with a customizer for any on going bio helmets

yeah, I mentioned this a couple pages ago. How easy do you think it would be to do that?

 

[playafree]

Even if the paint was awesome and the casting was flawless, I still think the use of a piece of printed paper instead of metal for the lenses is pathetic.

Honestly though, when it's up on the wall and you're sitting back and looking at it, it's cool, it looks nice. It's only when you take it off the wall to check it out in your hands, you start seeing that it's done so cheaply.

That's how i feel.. Are you going to return yours ?

I have not done my research but i plan on it. There's people on the boards that will have some good references..
