Predator 2 Lifesize bust (Coolprops)

[Heavy Metal Spike]

. . . do you guys notice that it seems the drool comes back? It shows up in those offical photos.

Good catch - I hadn't noticed - but photo 12 has it clearly - https://www.coolprops.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CP01-0002-12.jpg

Not quite as "in your face" as it was before though?

I prefer it without, but it won't stop me buying.

No. In the booth I checked it very carefully, no drool. Maybe cuz I asked, they decide to put it back? If so, that's my contribution!

They do have a 'Final product may vary' disclaimer.

Does the product page have the proto or factory sample pictured?

I can't wait for this to go up for pre-order on SS!

 

[kroenen77]

the dreads are really cheap made.But the rest look really good.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

so what, another week or so before Sideshow puts it up?

 

[Collectorcol]

The wait that keeps on giving

 

[rottingcollector]

i'm really getting impatient. LOL

 

[darkmummy]

Be patient.
Coolprops has to depend on the global sale, cuz A&P stuffs are very unpopular in Japan.
So no matter when sideshow puts it up, this won't be sold out in Japan.

Really? I'm shocked at that because loads of GK stuff has been produced in Japan - and has always sold well within Japan too.

There could be a certain small group of people who are interested in A&P stuffs, but a very small number actually. Tons of A&P grails sold very cheap online or even cheaper in the store. No mention compared with the collectors of their local pop cultrue, the number of collectors who are interested in western pop culture can be easily neglected. And A&P is just one small part of it.
If u can stay long enough in Japan, you can pretty much save more than half compared with buying in UK for the same collection.

 

[Collectorcol]

Sideshow probably already know how many they've been allocated.

Sales in Japan should make no difference.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

as much as I want this piece, I'm rapidly losing interest.

It's awesome, I probably will order, but the longer I wait the more time I have to convince myself out of purchasing another Predator head. Realistically the first Sideshow Predator is THE definitive Predator, from the definitive Predator film...so I really don't need this piece. I really want it, but at the same time, it's just excessive.

 

[Collectorcol]

Once ordered I think, hope, this will be shipped within a few months.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, cuz I realize why I got so excited by this city hunter bust is beacuse I know there will be a P1 bust following. And that's what I want.Also there are so many alien busts which I must have, so have to skip this one.

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Still a "must have" for me.

There will be plenty that are "on the fence" that will regret not getting it in years to come - same as those that didn't get the Sideshow P1.

Sideshow's Wolf & Berserker were "meh" (IMO) - but this is AWESOME - finally we have my fave Pred-head in 1:1 !!!!!

[darkmummy]

In the store.
Actually you can buy slightly cheaper in Japan, like 5000yen less.

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

In store !!!!!!! . . . . . . . . . . . Spike considers trip to Japan . . .

[Collectorcol]

Sweet! In store... Unable to order

 

[darkmummy]

Haha, sorry for causing any confusion. I believe those are just a few samples coolprops received from the factory, the main purpose is just for display. One toy shop online page from Japan says the actual shipping time is between July to September. Guess the dog and new born may come the end of this year.
