very kind words indeed and much appreciated 
still laughing over that Aragorn/Legolas gif 
this came out great and looking forward to seeing what you have planned for him in regards to a possible dio display. Massive congratz dude
Seriously impressive score on that custom Predator Andy
really appreciate that as ever and glad you approve of the final product. In terms of a diorama, I'm certainly gonna look into it. I remember when I purchased my Hot Toys Classic Pred figure last year that I was desperate to get him on a diorama base as I wasn't too keen on the HT's version...so I took the kids to the woods and searched for something that I could relate to the Pred and the movie. I came away with a really nice branch and as soon as I got home I was already busting out some poses with my Pred on this branch totally brings out the best in the figure when you can create an environment around it as opposed to just plonking him on a standard base...well, it does for me anyway 
The base that my new custom Pred comes with already has pretty much everything covered in terms of a diorama with water, branches, foliage, etc...so I may extend it further with a backdrop or something like that. 
this is a masterpiece at the height of the cinemaquette ,congrats
will you put in a showcase?
I may indeed put him in a custom made display case...need to see how big this will be inhand and then possibly add a few more details like foliage, more branches, etc...
thank you thank you!!
Thanks buddy
Confirmation that my Pred has now shipped so the wait begins!
Totally agree dude as having a dio certainly brings out the best in a figure or statue. I'm sure you will come up with something amazing 
On a different not it would appear that sideshow are throwing new statues at us left right and centre lol and is that their new Optimus Prime statue!!?? 
I must have PO'd about 5 PF's in the last 2 weeks alone 
and don't even get me started on what has yet to appear such as the Amazing Spidey PF, another Hulk PF, the 1966 1/6 Batmobile, the Saruman PF looks really tasty, the Iron Man MK42 Maquette, and the new Doom PF...to mention a few the other main one is the one you mentioned...the Optimus Prime 
this is done by the same company that brought us the recent Megatron statue that you would have seen at last years Comic Con...Prime 1. So a number of us were relieved to hear the news that Sideshow will also be selling the Prime statue 
although when it will be officially out for release is another story as those still waiting for Megatron in the US and Europe are experiencing heavy delays still, gives us all time to save up for what looks like an epic piece. 
That's an understatement
So, have you not been converted to 1/4 scale yet?
and don't forget this on the Horizon
Jean Grey is likely...BUT I want a Mark Brooks Phoenix and Dark Phoenix.
This was the Mark Brooks FB post then reposted by Bullseye on statueforum!!! Now putting on here as it would be a gorgeous looking PF if made!!!
that said I have a Good Feeling this just might be made
I've never seen this before Al...thanks for sharing buddy. I know how much your gonna love this one if it becomes official 
loving the flame/phoenix base
WOW
still, one of my favourite Phoenix pieces has to be the Bowen ones..
Absolutely! Love me a light up base!
WOW!! Just the news I wanted to hear Sideshow
unfortunately, I'm not a massive movie Megatron fan so I was always going to pass on that one, not taking anything away from the actual piece which looks amazing. Saying that, I've got a G1 Animated Megatron LSF arriving in a few months which I'm really looking forward to. As for the Prime 1 Optimus, it couldn't have come at a better time as I was so close to buying the original Sideshow Maquette version so now I've seen this new one I couldn't be happier and can't wait to pull the trigger once it comes up for PO 
That's an understatement
So, have you not been converted to 1/4 scale yet?
can only imagine what your collection is going to look like once you finally get to display it all. Still trying to convince myself to order my first PF. I have only 2 hot toy figures to my name so I'm literally starting from scratch. At the moment I love sitting back and just gawping at all the incredible collections on this forum and hoping that one day I can achieve something similar. If I was to get a 1:4 scale piece then as a first one it would have to be Iron Man related. Then I'll be only a few behind you Hahahahaha!!! 
F'n loving those Pred vs Dutch pics
