I like everything except for the hair, looks too much like an insect.

Yeah I don't like the hair either. It looks like a sea creature

I like the overall design better than the film design... don't like the coloring though. Would look much better in all black.

Received my Sideshow Concept Predalien Bust today.

Being a HUGE fan of anything "concept" related, I couldn't be happier with this piece.

This bust is based off of a sculpted Maquette made by Greg Figiel, which is based off artwork by Michael Broom, and THAT artwork was inspired by early concept drawings from Farzad Varahramyan.
All this for some early concept work for the Predalien in AvP:R.

While this design wasn't used, it really is one of the more interesting designs for the Predalien.
Definately more Alien than Predator, it has a real insect-like look to it.

I know alot of people are put off by the hair-like protrusions coming out of the back of it, but I think they work for this design.
And, they do have some texture and aren't just round bits jutting out of it's head.
You can see some of that texture in the last couple of pics.

The paint app is not bad. Although, I'm not a huge fan of the metalic blue/purple coloring on some of it.
That bit of coloring does lend it a more insect like feel. Much like the look of some bugs wings or certain beetle's exoskeletons.

All in all, a killer bust. I can only hope that SS and ADI continue to release more of the concept pieces.

On to the pics...

(The first 2 pics are the early art work and concept sculpt from ADI)

I like alot...great photos!!!
Few questions tho - are the dreads bendable as they seem a little flat compared the proto... Even if they were raised a little to be more to be more spine like? Also i'm guessing the blue/purple colours aren't as bright in real life... Don't suppose you could take a photo without the flash please?
Can't wait to receive mine!!!

Thanks...

The dreads are NOT bendable. They are fairly rigid.

I never take pics with flash.
I use a photo tent and lighting rig to take my pics.

So, the colors you see are true to life.

mine arrived today ... really happy with this one & very glad the spines/dreads aren't as flat as i worried. the paintworks amazing too... added in the diorama so u can see how big it actually is ... enjoy!

my pics aren't quite as nice as urs sabres21768 ;-)

I'm going to pick this one up if it ever lands on gift card eligible or something. I know there are not many, but they seem to be lasting. Something about it appeals to me though...

Hey due to lack of space in my flat i'm having to sell this beauty if anyone wants to take it off my hands and give her a good home
