Statue Sideshow 1987 Predator 1/5 Scale Statue

[mr.thrifty]

So it's almost been 3 weeks.... How F'n long does it take to set an ES???

 

[azurepred]

I don't buy as many SS items as you more then likely, but I remember they didn't even set the Carnage comiquette Ex ES until like the week they started shipping, so you got aways to wait bub. Also, you never know, could be open ES

 

[mr.thrifty]

I know... Just thought I'd join in on all the _____ing.....

 

[inuka]

There are even some items that have been in-stock for months and still have their edition size listed as TBD!

Agreed, love the pose so damn much.
Perfect size too, imo.

I'm really happy with 750 EX's, Not bad at all! Still no ES on the regular but who cares, the EX is the one to have. Quite surprised this hasn't sold out yet. Anyone ordered the Dutch PF?

 

[Nacho]

I really like this statue but my only complaint is the painted on netting. If hot toys can provide a real net suit for thier 1/6
scale figs then there is no reason why SS cant put one on this 1/5
scale statue.
Regardless I have the EX pre-ordered and an ES of 750 I think is resonalble.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

I really want to order this, but I fear what will happen with the netting. It's either this or Dutch..so far I'm leaning towards Dutch.

Yeh I can understand that, but the way I see it, if it looks like 5h1t
I'll be sending it straight back..

 

[Collectorcol]

I understand the concerns over the netting but it's a bit much to expect real netting, this is a fully painted statue after all! Fingers crossed for a good result. My problem being in the U.K is that its not as simple to send back.

Everybody complains about the netting.Why?
Nobody complains about the netting at the Predator maquette.
Everybody says about this statue it s the holy grail but nobody complains about the netting.
This Predator statue 1/5 is a great statue i order the ex and i am very happy with it

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

No one complains about the P1 1/4 Maquette's netting because it's REAL netting.

And now why I am "complaining", although I'm not complaining, I'm worried it will turn out a certain way which is stopping me from dropping 350$ (or however much it costs) on it instantly.

SS's quality has been a little bad lately..look at the PREDATORS Maquettes, they had no netting yet the bodypaint was horrible.
So it's not crazy to think that they might mess up the netting on this (ie, sloppy paint)...and for me the if the netting is very sloppy, i'm not going to be able to get over it.

 

[Sabres21768]

I'm going to base my opinion on how SS has handled painted Pred netting in the past...and the netting on the SS P1 and P2 dios was great.

So, this piece shouldn't have any problem.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Forgot about that..but still, doesn't mean they won't screw it up this time. You know they didn't even paint the exclusive P2 head for that Diorama?

That's the kinda thing I'm talking about..

I hear you Lar! My mind's in the same state as your's.

It will be a let down if they screw up with the netting. Well, for me at least. That too considering that they've handled it well in the past

Let's hope for the best though!

Cheers,
