Statue Predator 2 - Elder Predator Statue

I understand that here everybody has an opinion, but this looks horrible to you guys :?

Like I said a pair of pages before, always the first pics are the worse (no offense)

I saw it today in person and it is amazing. Thecolors could have been a bit brighter but considering it is an old predator, the grey looks good. I loved the size and the proportions, much better than the Pred 1 statue.

I'll punch up the colors on mine when I get it and add a bit more gloss but in general it is a great piece...

I was also surprised to see how good the alien exclusive piece is. It is very detailed and compliments the statue well.

Cheers

No time to open a box and stick a head in place? You must be the busiest person on the entire planet!?!?!

No. Just lazy.

Lol please don't feel ashamed with my commentary I was not refering to the ones from yours (that's why I used one for quality reference), I was refering to the flashy photos that several users have posted on the previous page. I'm more than thankful to you for posting these, they pushed me forward to order the thing.


The flash kills absolutely the paintjob on this kind of collectables, please guys turn it off

I hear you about the flash.
Hopefully you will be pleased with it. Like I said before it was a 50-50 shot with this. I was ready to send it to another Sideshow painter and have him re-paint it but I was pleased with it enough to keep it.

They actually come out about the same height:

P2 gets a slight boost in the base at the top:

I got mine yesterday and echo the comments of Fu - this piece is pretty incredible for the price. Is it in the same league as the 1/4 maquette? No. However, the sculpt is very tight, the paintwork is precise and the overall presence is outstanding. I do think the skin patterns on the torso could use a bit of pop - maybe some more detailed spotting and a bit of semigloss, but once you see the sculptural detai up close, you really get a sense of the care that went into the design. I especially like the fact that the teeth appear to be cast in a hard resin, which conveys detail outstandingly. Also, all of those head spikes are individually sculpted (though I think some might have been cast and added to the head in assembly).

I was basically done with SS except for the 1/4 (1/3?) Wolf, but I'm happy I picked this one up and thrilled to see the 1/5 Wolf when it ships.

1st of all its great pose.... main issue with this statue was about blade accuracy & Mandible ring which is solved by SS .......

I didn't realize that I needed permission to give an opinion. Looks like crap, sorry if that hurts your feelings.

I cannot compete with Al's photographic skills (dude - s'bin a while! ) - but here's (hopefully) what DHAVAL & others were looking for . . .

I have to say - the P1 vs. THIS is "chalk & cheese" even though I was happy with the P1.

Awesome paint - and although there are a couple of breakages (1 bead string and 2 dred tips) - I can see why those happened - the design (around the dreds) is SO delicate it's blimmin' next to impossible to avoid damage when shipping on a large (and China-sourced) scale.

Not too shabby (assuming Sideshow will replace the entire thing OR give a reasonable refund - if not - it's going back!)

Anyways - here's #102 of 350 (excl)
