Yippy
Brothers to the end
After nearly 11 months since the annoucement and countless years before that, my precious Predator Maquette has finally landed.
The Predator creature has always been one of my favorite creature designs since I was a child, so I was very excited when SS was able to pick up the Predator license. SS first released the 1:1 bust, but that didn't really do it for me, but needless to say, this maquette definitely does!
First impressions:
1. The outer product box is awesome. Very cool!
2. I knew it was going to be big, but nothing really prepares you for just how big.
3. The netting around the legs, and the real leather are extremely well done.
4. The base design with water pool effect and all really adds to this piece.
5. All the little details like the trophy necklaces are awesome!
Sidenotes:
1. The exclusive comes with three little batteries that go underneath the helmet(only need two though). Then to turn it off/on there is a little button on the right side of the helmet.
2. I'm glad they included a stand for the extra head...good thinking SS.
3. The shoulder cannon can swizel, which is pretty cool.
I should mention that this piece does take a little time to unpack, so take your time and be careful. Wouldn't want anyone to have to return it because they accidently broke one of the dreds or something.
Finally, this piece is without a doubt worth the price tag. Now bring on a SWS/SS Aliens warrior maquette at SDCC 06!
Time to go watch Predator. :chew
Ok guys, I got ahold of the camera, so here are a few quick shots:

The money shot:
Size comparison with dvd:
This is one helluva statue guys.
