Chargersfan57 asked me to do a little review on the piece over on the statue forum. I figure I cut and paste it here for all those thinking about this bio:
Official review can be found on predatorstuff.com, as well as pictures:

My take on the bio:
It is overall a lot lighter (in terms of weight) then the Sideshow piece. This piece can be purchased painted or unpainted, with or without lighting (LED or laser). I opted for the painted bio with LED lighting and the stand. If you want all the bells and whistles on this bio, it'll run you quite a bit north of the Sideshow bio's price tag. It does not come with a stand but I was able to buy one of Casey's extra stand. Casey made the necessary modification to the inside the bio to secure the bio to the stand. Note these stands are extremely light and does not have the magnets inside. Heavy duty velcro was used to secure the bio to the stand. The stand was not made by Casey and the paint work shows it.
Sculpt and paint work is totally awesome. Casey is one talented individual. He was able to get me the piece finished and shipped to me in less than a week.
Overall, the LED on the Narin bio is not as bright as the ones on the Sideshow bios. Comparison picture:
Lenses on the Narin bio is a smoke transparent material with verticle lines, material very similar to sunglasses lense. You can see through it, so this is a bio you can actually wear as a costume piece:
Overall, this is an awesome piece. And since this is not a bio that is in any of the movies, there is no way Sideshow will ever make one. This is truly an unique piece of art. If you don't mind the price tag, drop Casey an email
[email protected]. This bio is definitely well worth the money.
