Freaked Out
i believe most of u all, just like me love our collections like grails.. But one think has been bothering me is that how long can they really last? Im not talking about those which are fully-polystone made like the sideshow dog alien maquette or predalien maquette.. Im talking about the sideshow predator maquette.
I have been really really tempted to get that holy grail of all aliens & predator maquette.. But one thing that is holding me back is not the price, but it is made like a PF, includes fabric n other real materials!!
My questions is as time passes will those fabric material on the statue deteriorate or become damage and spoiled the overall outlook of the predator statue. (If yes, any idea how long or how many years later will it starts to deteriorate?)
That is also one of the same biggest reason why i did not purchase the hot-toys series of predators. Even though it is well detailed and looks great, but again it consist of other fragile material and is a snap-kit..
Best example is my friend's hot toys predators collections, barely just for 2 years some parts of his hot toys celtic and scar predator have rusted and the netting begin coming off loose for no reasons as they were just standing in his display. Now the big question, Will this also happen to the sideshow predator maquette as some parts of its costume is made of fabric,real nettings and other materials. (Gosh! how i wish all those nets on it's body were polystone-craved just like the palisades predators, rather than using real nets
)
You may say that im picky or paraniod.. But the main point is that i dont wish to pay so much $$ for something that maybe can only last me and looks good for few years? Any comments?
