Wolf Predator Legendary Scale Figure

[KainSwiss]

I'm only speaking on the bio-mask. And yes, I obviously don't own this piece, the same as you guys obviously spent roughly two-thousand dollars on it.

The mask looks soft. It's not nearly as detailed as it should have or could have been. Seeing it in person isn't going to change that. The whole point of photographing these collectibles is to see what you're getting. Sure, most look more impressive in person, and the sheer size is definitely going to increase the "wow" factor, but the flaws will still remain.

Regarding the cheeks, like I said, I've just always thought they stick out too much. They're not as narrow and defined as they should be. On this bio they're fat/wide/flat/whatever word you want to use.

The prototype bio looked pretty much the same from what I remember.

Your point is a valid one. I will not say it isn't. I would agree it's not screen accurate. Everyone's point here is a valid one. I'm not knocking that. They could have highlighted the glyphs more. Made the mask look less silver. Put red paint to highlight the lazer parts etc. yes these are things they could have done. But for me without looking at and comparing it with the movie version is good enough for me. And to be perfectly honest with you I do prefer the unmasked head sculpt more. The prototype mask did look the same. Most of the complaints were to do with the netting on the legs!

Would you really want the lasers painting red? They are only red when they are turned on, and in that case, paint wont really replicate the effect realistically.

In my honest opinion no! It works better without it. But yeah I have really looked at the mask and think they could have made it more highlighted with the glyths. The thangs also could have been highlighted more also. I guess as an alternative head. It is what it is.

Awesome thanks

Yeah I had it a few years ago. Liked it, but just looked to small to me. Very well made though. The light up base was a cool feature.
However when compared to the sideshow version... There was no match. So sold the DX version.

I've never owned the Sideshow version, but I have the DX and it doesn't look small at all next to the Mr. Black and Celtic Sideshow bios. In fact I think it's larger than both. Kinda hard to tell.

But yeah, the interior detailing is insanely cool.

Still loving the Wolf after years of owning him. A movie based on the Wolf would be great! Without stupid humans getting in the way would be something.

I'd love to see it. If written correctly, you wouldn't need to use a lot of subtitles to understand what's going on. The actions of the predator should be self-explanatory. We know him on-screen as an extremely skilled master hunter. But I would like to see him at a younger stage in his life, perhaps with a clan. Maybe the sole survivor after some epic hunt. Then as he ages, show us how he came about his iconic scar along the left side of his face and the missing mandible. I know someone much more creative in writing (who actually gets paid to do this kind of thing) can come up with something appealing.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I think it can be done. And the fact that predators can replicate the human voice would be a bonus of some sort. It can be done 100% if written properly!

The wolf mask is larger to begin with, so yes, DX would look in line with the others actually being slightly smaller than the SS one.

For those who own the Wolf LSF and really don't like the bio portrait. Would you consider selling the head and base? I would want to try and add LEDs to it and repaint it.

The Wolf mask is based on the P2, so should be a fair bit bigger than both of those.

That's crazy talk.

Whether they like it or not, selling the second head would completely devaluate their entire statue. If they ever had to sell, they'd be screwed.

 

[Collectorcol]

^ This. Selling parts of a $2,000 statue would be crazy (unless you were offering a grand).

 

[Rogue_Predator]

To you and I it maybe mad, but to someone else, it may not be. I know it's a long shot of course. Worth mentioning though.

1G sounds about right for that 2nd portrait and its base. Shipping that thing... no guarantees.

Interesting. Didn't know that.
