That would be the Day I spend $2000 on a statue!

Hard for fans.


Said some odd nicknamed board fella with a retarded looking "yautja" from some overrated "fan video" as his avatar.

Nice comeback, I guess you never heard of the color azure blue . I'd rather have a retarded Pred in my avatar, then some child molester looking guy with blue tights.

I do feel sorry for new collectors, there's a huge difference from those top 3 and the rest of Pred collectibles in terms of size, quality, and presence. They are priced so far out of the reach of most, it's sad. I feel extremely lucky to have all 3. Besides the Alien Warrior bust, there's quite a few great Alien pieces available well under $2k.

Wasn't the Warrior bust only $800?

Wasn't the Warrior bust only $800?

yea, but we're talking current value of pieces, what it would cost to get those now. That's a $3500-4500 piece. Every other Alien piece is still available for under $2k

p.s. what about the dead eye?

Isn't one supposed to be milky white?

What the......

This isn't acceptable at all. He needs the dead/damaged eye. What is with SS and this line?!


Cheers,

Do you guys seriously think I didn't paint the eye correctly? There just aren't any friggin' shots of the left side of his face for you to tell how white it is. It's correct though. Don't worry. You can sort of tell here in this only shot of the left eye, but the fact that no direct light is hitting it and the fogged pupil is reflecting a point of light is makes it look like a normal eye if you didn't know better.

I don't like the pose, the collapsed spear or the single shoulder cannon, but everything else especially the unmasked head sculpt and paint looks like money dude! I can't wait for this piece!

Hi Nathan.

I didn't check to see who did the paint apps

Had I known it was you, I wouldn't have asked.

I'm really tempted again after looking at that picture.
With the Ex not being a must have I can also buy from a local retailer.
As already said if the classic turns out as good as it looks I'll order this.
Dropped any thoughts of the elder but this is still up there.

btw since you painted this statue, would you say this is really 1:5?

Is it much larger than the HT wolf predator?

thanks in advance,
James.

The headsculpt is frikkin' insane on this.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Well, it's not 1/6 because it's way too big. Definitely bigger than the Hot Toys figures. And it's not 1/4 because it's too small. Without the base, he's only about as tall as a smaller female 1/4 scale figure. So, 1/5.

Nay! Nor once did I doubt the paint app that you've done on this, or any other pieces for that matter. But yeah, I admit that I really didn't take the time to notice that the other eye is foggy indeed. At a quick glance, it does really look like a normal one (lack of pics from that angle are to blame). Who sculpted this BTW?

And yeah, James is the one to blame. He started it!

Hello everyone. This is my first post on this forum but I've been wanting to ask SilentSurfer a question. Does Wolf have the vile of blue liquid on his bandolier and does he have more than one shuriken around his waist? As with his left eye, the lighting on this statue is a little hard to make out everything on the statue. I just thought I'd ask you since you painted the statue. Thanks a lot.

 

[SilentSurfer]

No blue stuff or extra shurikens that I know of.

 

[Darth Knuckles]

Oh okay. Darn. I was really hoping there was a second shuriken back around his waist close to his cleaner case. I wonder why they didn't add one or two more shurikens to Wolf. It wouldn't have had to be sculpted much differently. Thanks though SilentSurfer!

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

By this point in the film, he would have already used all of the blue acidic liquid and most if not all of his shurikens.

 

[Darth Knuckles]

The statue's not really "movie time" specific. I mean he has his cleaner case on which he gets rid of practically at the beginning of the movie in the Predator ship. So It doesn't make sense that he has it on at all when he's in the sewer like this statues base shows him in. I would have much rather have had him not have the cleaner case and have the blue liquid and a total of three shurikens. Only having one shoulder cannon doesn't bother me at all though.

thanks for the clarification. have this ordered and know who to send to if the factory paints are bad
