    Yeah,if you expect it to be quality piece without QC issues for $2000,then you should just return it for a full refund because you are too picky lol!

    The studio ADI Collection

    There was never an "official" ES. These were all made to order.

    The studio ADI Collection

    I'm in the same boat as you guys.This is as close as I will ever probably come to seeing one of these too. I was actually the first in line to get one of these,way before they were ever even announced,but things just didn't work out as I had hoped/planned. Here are a few more under different...

    The studio ADI Collection

    This is the same maquette used in the photos that were posted in the studioadi store. They are all painted the same. It's not a different sample.Most of the pictures posted of these were not taken in proper lighting or shot well.

    Statue Prime 1: The Terminator - T-800 (Police Station Shootout) 1:2

    Re: The Terminator : T-800 (Police Station Shootout) 1:2 Yes,even high quality platinum silicone will start degrading after a couple decades. If you want it to last a lifetime,it needs to be made out of high quality resin or polystone and kept away from UV light.

    Well,that's funny. My friend finally got an RMA to return his and it went back yesterday. I can only guess where they might be getting those parts from:slap The membrane effect around the sides of the dome definitely looks better and more like the prototype piece paint app, than the others...

    The P1 isn't accurate to anything in the film.

    I can't believe you let it go for the price you sold it to the first buyer for!

    The studio ADI Collection

    Yeah,I've spent years collecting reference material,plus my friend owns the Larry Kid A3 custom maquette from the molds (before the SS one ever even existed) and he is also friends with a certain collector that I'm sure you are familiar with😉 I remember your runner project from the old Hive...

    The studio ADI Collection

    There are prop replicas being produced by many companies,who out source to China,that are many times more expensive in comparison to what ADI was offering. The paintwork on the A3 maquette is faithful to the original paintwork.ADI didn't make or paint the puppets.They made the clay sculpt...

    The studio ADI Collection

    I don't know the exact numbers,but the highest number I've seen on one of the bases was 10 and their was also the artist proof.I haven't personally seen a picture of one with a higher edition number than ten yet. From what I was told,the studioadi collection has been officially ended.ADI has...

    The studio ADI Collection

    If you were interested in an ADI dog alien maquette,you missed the boat. There will no longer be any maquettes made.

    As you can see in my avatar,I'm a little more prone to the closed mouth look myself. I do like the head-on profile of that P1 head. I saw my friend's maquette in person. At one particular angle though it looks to have just a tad too much of an under bite,plus the odd fact that his was missing...

    Critize away.I'm just critizing back lol! My friend likes it too😜 As a matter of fact he is interested in buying another closed mouth head and the stand.

    coolprops---dog alien maquette!

    I don't why you guys are still crying about the price of the ADI maquette. I was referring solely to the P1 and it's perceived value and whether it's worth the hassle of multiple returns to possibly just end up with a parted out piece for $2k.Seems like anytime you guys are presented with...

    coolprops---dog alien maquette!

    That will only hold true if the items aren't suffering from multiple defects/quality control issues or if consumers just ultimately end up settling on those issues being acceptable, given the price. Being that most accredit this as solely a P1 product,I'm betting that a majority will put on...

    Then they should be priced lower or issued much more than $120 credit to keep it.

    coolprops---dog alien maquette!

    It's more than likely a result of multiple returns for the same item and people still getting defective replacements,so they are trying to part together "acceptable" ones by using parts from returns.The inventory needs to be purged, not recycled! If you're happy with spending around $2k to get...

    The orientation is correct to the original design,but the shape isn't correct and some detail was smoothed over that should have been there.
