Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette. BACK UP FOR PO.

it completely resembles the city hunter.

No it doesn't, not completely. That is why I haven't re-ordered it yet. The cancellation gave us time to over think it all, and raising the ES after everything else was a ridiculous way of annoying people.

Look on the bright side - they could end up reducing the edition sizes to 150 EX and 500 Regular (or less) - stranger things have happened :)

.

Another reason I haven't re-ordered it yet, when they drop it, I might bite. I'm just not sure I have enough enthusiasm left to create a new head for this one, and it badly needs one.

I've ordered it. If some of you guys see Machico in hand I'm sure your optimism for how this could turn out will improve

Well, she was fairly well done from the start, and then they addressed the most glaring flaw(netting) on the production piece. Unless they actually DO fix some things after repeated denials, is not going to improve. In fact I see it looking worse in hand when we see the production paint apps.

If they add quills it will change the whole look of the unmasked display.
No quills... No buy!
 
Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette. BACK UP FOR PO.

While I agree quills should be there, they are the smallest problem and the easiest to fix. Major re-sculpting would be needed to fix the head and small spear etc. Quills just need a pin vice and some rubber spikes, all the more reason for SS to do that themselves at least though...

I will put the budget of this one into Coolprops' city hunter bust.
Simply no brainer.

when is this damn thing going up for order!? For a company that doesn't even do 1 item a year, they are slower than eFX. Not good.

Im keeping this order and cant wait to see how it turns out!

We saw the painted proto so it should not be long I hope. It took forever to see it painted though. CP may be trying to avoid the same trouble SS had getting the Maquette production paint right.

From the booklet of Coolprops booth, it says 'coming 2016'. Actually they showed the unpainted version only this year Jan, so pretty much one year production time which is great I reckon.
Besides, I believe they're doing multi-busts and masks at the same time.
