please critique this classic pred statue

[gagaliya]

Hi guys, now that my alien is on the way, i need a 1/5 predator to finish the pair. My plan was to use the upcoming sideshow 1/5 classic pred but this one below seemed better (i always liked the masked version more so it's a plus).

It's made by some custom studio in hong kong, like to hear some opinions in term of the sculpt & accuracy of this piece & comparison to the upcoming sideshow version, before taking the plunge. Thanks

Also one concern is that the height is only ~16", isnt that kind small for a 1/5 scale?

It is 1/6 scale and recast. The original is from Narin (the sculptor) and it is sold out.

Unfortunately, that doesn't even matter to most people on this forum.

well that's a fail then. so those guys recasted a custom piece on top of calling it 1/5 when it's actually 1/6?

guess i will wait for sideshow's version then, hope it doesnt suck like the trio they released previously

Lol, because he said it is made by a studio in hong kong so I couldn't help myself. Narin is a friend of mine, have to help him a bit lol.

Speaking of accuracy, I think it is great IMO.

Lol so true, the classic prototype looks awesome, hope sideshow doesn't ruin it.
