Worse Pred statue ever.

Worse Pred statue ever.

Serious? I'm looking forward to mine.
What's confusing is that this piece should be ready to ship yet looks unfinished, trophy belt/spine, yet the Scar which hasn't even been revealed looks complete?!

Aesthetically it looks pretty cool to me. Easily the best of this line so far!

Agreed! The only one I will be buying until they release a Predator 2 Statue.

If the P2 statue is cool, then i'll get it as the P2 dio is very ordinary. It seems like i'm dumping on SS and i guess I am abit, but for the prices they ask for, then at least give us quality and authenticity.

The quality of these, from what we've seen, is much higher than they usually give. Sooo.....

I love the 1 & 2 dios, just wish I bagged the Ex's.

No, and he's displayed at the show with just the necklace.
It does look like there's a string there, but no trophies are on it. Still no sign of the spine trophy.

I pre-ordered this statue on faith that SS would add the spine trophy in later (maybe they just forgot it; had a "duh" moment), but I'm starting to seriously think that this will not be rectified.
First and last time I make this mistake.

I hope this is just the poor lighting and it isn't this dark! The base looks all charcoal black with none of the colouring like on the product page. Also the metalic finish on the product page is much better

Defenatly poor lighting on this shot.
You can hardly see his left leg.

I was just going to say you gotta remember this is a picture. The lighting isnt perfect the angle could be off, theres all kinds of things that can come into play.

I'm not worried about the spine, I'm sure I'll be able to pic up a hot toys one or whatever.

I'm more concerned that the netting paint is gonna be good.

Don't get me wrong the P1 dio is awesome, the P2 dio would be too if it had a better pose and base.

I just don't get why they have not included them on this Predator. Something so small but it's a big part of the character.

I think the base is really nice, ties in with the Penthouse from the film.
Was a bit gutted about the change of the left had from concept piece but got used to it. Pose is ok with me.
Can't believe there isn't a P2 statue before all the A V's P statues :-(

 

[MasterSafara]

There's 1 AVP statue so far but who's counting besides me....

 

[Collectorcol]

Yeh the Wolf but Scar is on its way soon.
Bring on P2 statue with switch out unmasked for Ex.

I agree, the same with the Elder's sword. Still a great looking piece though.

painted netting will be fine, sideshow did an excellent job in the past, ie the avp dio netting which is even smaller scale and looks perfect. I am sure at 1/5 it will come out perfect.

it's the missing spine that's the only concern, it's not THAT big a deal but would be perfect if included sigh.

a 1/6 spine on a 1/5 statue would look just as bad as that spine on the CM Pred.

If you hate the Predator line please don't punish me with a thumbs down on the video
I made the vid because I thought it might be helpful.
