Interesting Predator

I just saw a banner advertising the next sideshow live and this guy caught my eye for obvious reasons. No idea what it is yet but it looks pretty cool. Could be an early concept for a print, or it could even be their own take on the character in statue form. "Mythos" style which could be really cool! I guess we'll find out on Wednesday.

I'll update the title and this first post when more becomes clear...

I believe that's an early AVP-R design sketch by Farzad Varahramyan.

Dunno artist but yeah it's an early design from AVP-R for the wolf, my favorite of them actually.

Correct, I thought there was heavy similarity to the damage, but don't remember ever seeing this image before. A concept Wolf maquette maybe?

Farzad did all sorts of AWESOME designs for AVP-R.

Sideshow already used one of his sketches for an earlier Predalien bust (wish they had used that design in the movie).

So - that's my guess for this "tease" . . . it'll be a Wolf concept bust based on Farzad's artwork.

You prefer that design for Predalien?

I had that little bust, not for very long...

Totally.

Compared to what we got, I prefer pretty much EVERY other Predalien design I've ever seen (from comics, sketches, pre-prod artwork, fan art, garage kits etc.)

I HATE the one we got with a passion - IMO it's the worst & laziest design in any movie from the Alien or Predator franchises (and that's saying something when you remember what we got in PREDATORS )

Each to their own though.

I'm resigned to any statue of this being a fail scale opera singing pose joke. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I don't think you will be :| SS has been nothing but a ****show with predators. This one's got small details out the ass. All the bones, nails, extra quills etc. **** they didn't even put quills on the p2 maquette :|

They don't deserve the license, they get it wrong, badly, can't correct things and have attitude about it. We have options now. **** them.

There's multiple reasons most Ozzies get on with most Brits

We share a madness and a love for ribbing each other?

Both those, plus beer, plus (per THIS trigger) an occasionally acerbic observational ability . . . (plus plenty of others)

The weekly "Sideshow Live" email just arrived and included the banner pic below.



Or MAYBE it's another attempt to get people to order the Wolf 1:2 scale LSB that is STILL available NINE months after the preorder went up?

So maybe it's just an interview after all

. . . although don't they usually use these sort of occasions to push product?​

Yep, it does seem to me this is a tribute to the 1/2 scale Wolf predator bust that is already for sale, in an attempt to bring more attention to it.

Well you got to hand it to Sideshow. They are masters at marketing.

This week it's an interview with the AVP:R designer.
Next week it's, "Low stock alert".
Then, "Checking warehouse inventory".

Yeah, I just saw this. Maybe they'll have him there to unveil something new, but it looks like it's juts an interview tbh. I imagine they will have the Wolf LSB out.

We'll find out in a bit.
