Re: Machiko She-Predator PF

Price seems very reasonable for the work and detail and is the last nail in the coffin for the P2 Maquette.
$1,200 is beyond silly...I'm out!

Beautiful work Mark! :clap

Re: Machiko She-Predator PF

Wow...it took an army of top tier painters to do this magnificent sculpt justice...hopefully this paint app can be replicated in the production pieces.

Re: Machiko She-Predator PF

Looks amazing! The far away shots really sell this as a piece to be admired from all distances. Really love those!

The price is a bit of a shock. I get it's not P2 maquette price, which makes anything look cheap in comparison; but it's still a huge jump over the $399 their top DC PFs have been going for.

I wonder if it's just the license, as Samurai Predator from Hot Toys was a good $100 more than most Hot Toys at the time.

Im REALLY going to debate it, as I do love it and it'd look great with my alien busts; but at these prices...that may do me for 2015 as a whole.

Such a great job done though!
 
Re: Machiko She-Predator PF

$440? Yeah, OK. She looks great and I'll try to find a way to get her, but the price seems a bit silly. 2-3 years ago Sideshow comes out with the Cyborg Maul PF priced at $325. A year and a half ago we get Shaak Ti priced at $350. Malgus $375. Now Machiko's $440, almost half a grand...?

A burner would have made a much better exclusive than a generic dagger IMO, but this way I won't have to worry about getting the exclusive.

Also would have preferred a traditional predator glaive/naginata instead of the AvP-styled spear she's holding.

Love her boot/leg armor. It looks strong and sturdy. It's feminine without being sexual, and much better than high heels (looking at you Hot Toys :rolleyes2). Same with her gloves/gauntlets.

Surprised her booty is covered up. I remember it being very bare, with only the netting covering it, in the comics. I would have easily traded the somewhat revealing chest piece for a single breastplate and an exposed booty.

All in all, it looks fantastic.

This will, doesn't look too wide but you will have huge gaps between statues.
Risers are a good fix...

This was a temporary fix and i've since found a better solution.
 
Re: Machiko She-Predator PF

Wow, it turned out spectacular and the sculpting & paint applications are perfect. The base is amazing!

Alas, I just cannot get over the design of the 'breastplate-bikini' so will be passing; personally very disappointed but congrats to those who love it. :dunno

Yeah Mark. Once again we cannot thank you and the team of artists that worked on this piece. At the price I'm totally okay with it. I'm not even going to complain the PF offers a lot overall even for the reg.
The detail in Thor, also $440, doesn't come close to this imo.
Yup

Re: Machiko She-Predator PF

This piece is great, day one pre-order for me. It's great to see the artists's on the boards checking out the feedback. I wish Sideshow would add a way to get a sculptor signature on the bottom of the statues, similar to Bowen's.
