Cinemaquette Predator.

Before I opened the box and actually saw it in person, I couldn't understand why people pay millions of dollars for art works. Since I got this piece, I don't have that confusion in my head any longer...

I think I had to make a cup of tea and then sat there just drooling at it. As an aside, the size of it and the weight of the box (around 42kg) mean that I can only have one 1/3 piece. Besides I'm not remotely interested in anything else that scale. Let me also say that I am not a huge Predator fan and have no interest in any other Predator collectable in any other scale (except the LSB which I've PO'd. My only LSB!). But my indifference to Predator collectables regardless, this piece is my grail. And tend not to use that word lightly :monkey3

With regards to actual Sideshow pieces, The X-Men v Sentinel diorama 1 EX is a [distant] second; but as far as it is (IMO) behind the CM Predator, it's still my SS grail. I'd sooner sell my Doom PF and Spidey 1:1 but I'm not selling the X-Men dio

I have two grail pieces.

I just got one two weeks ago my Hot Toys Blade figure (At a great price too!)

But my biggest grail piece that I've chased for years that I own now MMS-1 kyle Reese. I know it is very dated, with a super bad HS that really doesn't look like Micheal Behin.

But I LOVE it!!!!! I had an oppertunity to buy it when it first came out at a collectable store. They also had Cpl Hicks. I only had money for one and I chose Cpl Hicks because I thought Hot Toys would soon make a 1984 version ( Still waiting Hot toys :impatient:) In the end a few months ago I picked up Kyle Reese from a fellow freak for a great price. I honestly felt my life was complete when I opened him up:rotfl

To this day he is my favorite figure in my collection even though he is the worst:lol

I know how it feels to be the worst :monkey2:monkey2:monkey2

SERIOUS coin right there buddy :rock :thud:
 

Your post inspired me to browse Feng's studio, I had no idea there was so much amazing stuff I had never seen! He definitely has a love for Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise. I still think that Nathan Algren full figure he did is one of the most amazing 1/6 figs I've seen. In fact, that might even be my #1 (wanted) grail :lol

Don't have too many grail like pieces.

Guess for jerseys... my Henrik Sedin game worn - Goes for 2,500 now. I have a 1:1 Arnold T-800 SSC bust that goes for 1,500-2,000. HT Tumbler, HT Iron Man Mark 1. I have Captain America PF exclusive, Endoskeleton SSC 1/4, 1:1 Endoskeleton bust SSC, green Incredible Hulk PF, my Narin Joe Dunaway Predator holding Alien head statue I paid 700 for, my AP signed Andy Bergholtz Bela Legosi Dracula PF from the man's personal collection, I have the 1:1 Thor bust coming and am opting to get the Alien Chap maquette.
 
All of my grail pieces are lifesize. Two of my grail pieces already acquired/completed:

1/1 The Terminator lifesize:

1/1 Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader (complete with voice and breathing S/E):

Next, I want a 1/1 Robocop, the 1/4 ED209 (the one Fred Barton is doing), Boba Fett (which I have all the parts for...just need to construct/paint them) and my 1/4 Stan Winston Queen Alien (I also have this..just need to paint/construct)

Damn Joe, I've already drooled over pics of that Terminator, but do you have any more of Vader?
