Statue Sideshow 1987 Predator 1/5 Scale Statue

[Collectorcol]

I really like to look of the elder too... I am going to get the P1, Elder and Wolf (wolf already bought)

No Scar?!

Been trying to sell mine but decided to keep for the set.

I was considering the Scar, but many people have put me off.... Would you say its worth the investment?

The pose is silly and he takes up a lot of room but still a cool Predator statue.
Depends on price. Payed £160 for mine so not bad.

 

[Rogue_Predator]

£160 isn't bad at all. I love the scar but sideshow have naffed up with the Scar line a lot.... The mask with the paper lenses and really disappointed me

That's my plan also on picking up the three.

Oh don't get me started on that again

Yeah... I still love the design and the look... But paper lenses... Really :/
I've been thinking about getting the Celtic and Scar mask some day and re-doing the lenses as Dan Richards did. Looks way better.

Yeah, still annoys me to this day lol. If you need any tips for the scar just let me know, Alec Gillis sent me pictures of the screen used masks. For the one above I did as he instructed, shiniest silver possible (Alclad chrome for me) copper highlights and smoky translucent weathering with black and silver speckles. I left the silver speckles off though but might add them soon and tone some of the black speckles down. Lenses were done by spraying through a mesh patterned piece of fabric onto thin plastic and cutting to shape. Also added dark areas around the scar to simulate burning as it looked a bit plain before imo.

Thanks Python, appreciated

Your mask looks amazing!!!! A job well done

Did you manage to shoot an email over to sideshow about the wolf predator lense material?

Can anyone recommend a place to get one of these in the UK? Looking at starting a collection with this and the Dutch statue, not sure if it's cheaper to buy from the UK or pay for postage from the US. It's around £550 ($915) for both of them from a dealer through Amazon but there must be a cheaper option.

If you're patient they will come up on eBay. I waited quite a while and the Ex finally came up.
The Classic is the only one in the range where the Ex is a must imo.

I picked up the Classic Ex for £240 then PayPal refunded £50 for damage.
Got the Dutch for about £210 after selling the pointless Ex.

Good luck.

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for them on there. Thanks.

Are Sideshow okay for international shipping? If I end up buying them new, it would work out cheaper to buy them direct even if I got charged VAT by customs.

What makes you think ordering from SS would be cheaper?
Take the price in dollars, add the postage, convert to pounds, add 20% then add another £10.

There's a seller on eBay who has both these in stock. Message him and see if he will do a deal on the two. He should at least combine postage for you.
Giveeme a minute and I'll find them...

 

[Collectorcol]

Hey para. Just done a few sums.
Buying from the eBay seller would cost just over £500 without any combined discount.
Buying direct from SS would cost about £540. If you find a $20 coupon then take Reward Points into consideration it might be better ordering direct.

Personally I would, and did, wait for a deal on eBay but if you want them now and guaranteed brand new...

I don't know how new you are to this hobby but you do realise these will not display very well together?

 

[para50]

I'm not actually looking to buy right now, it wont be for a good few months. I'm impatient though so thought I'd do the investigating now just so I know what the best option is for when I do order. I calculated the SS cost to be £444 + VAT and from the Amazon dealer it's £564 but I think the dealer is in France. I will just keep watching out for ebay sellers in the UK though.

I am new, I have a lot of cheaper things, mostly 6-7" figures and other small collectable things. So I didn't realise these two don't go together very well. Is there an issue with the sizes or is it something else?

 

[Collectorcol]

Dutch is 1:4 and Pred 1:5 mate.
I'll get you a comparison shot later.

to the board.

 

[para50]

Aww no way. I thought they were made to be like a pair. I might find another predator then as I really like the Dutch one.
