A little Cinemaquette information

[Gruson]

For those that do not know, the next two pieces from Cinemaquette should be the alien from ALIEN and the predator from Predator. My guess is that we should see pictures of them very soon.

I also read this:
Each year will see between 6 and 10 new Cinemaquette releases, with many more icons from science-fiction, fantasy, action and horror film on the way.

and other recently acquired licenses means you will see Cinemaquette's of characters from movies like THE LORD OF THE RINGS, the INDIANA JONES TRILOGY and many, many more classic motion pictures.

It looks like this will now be my main focus in collecting now. I just need to put aside about $10,000 a year for them. lol

I really want to know who else they plan on making from the Indiana Jones trilogy. :)

I really want to know who else they plan on making from the Indiana Jones trilogy. :)

Indy will be the only one I will get from the Indy Trilogy, doesn't matter what they release from it. May get the Alien, but the Predator I'm getting for sure.

[P1X4R]

i don't think it would be a wise marketing move to produce other Indy characters. we only need Indiana. :)

[Gruson]

Yeah, I do not know if would buy anyone other than Indy either....I could see them making Henry though.

P1, you sure you would not buy the big German mechanic with his shirt off? :) lol

I was just going to order the Arnold piece but now I plan on getting the T-X, T-800, and Arnold. (great.....)

Alien and Predator are no brainers for me. :buttrock:

[P1X4R]

[with a german accent] over here! c'mere! shnell! LOL. :laugh:

[P1X4R]

how about the Fat guy, Captain Katanga, or Toht? hehe

http://www.listentome.net/movies40.php

Please no...

[Gruson]

I always liked Toht...very cool character IMO. The German mechanic is also great...I REALLY need to watch Raider again, it's been far too long.

As for the fat guy, my friends and I always argued if that was a man or a woman....

[RichardW]

In addition to Predator, I think it'd be cool to have Arnold's character from that movie. He'd look different enough from the T-850 because he'd be all painted up and camouflaged.

[Gruson]

I agree 100% Richard, Dutch would be great and I would buy him.

Maybe he can even say, "GET TO DA CHOPPPAAA!!!" ;)

If cinemaquette does not make him, maybe Sideshow will in 1/4 scale.

One Arnie it's enough already, Richard! Stop giving them bad ideas! :stick: :laugh:

"Do it! Do it!"

For someone that said not so long ago that Cinemaquettes were very expensive to collect and you would buy only the ones you REALLY, really wanted...
You sure changed your mind, Gruson. ;)

[candyrocket786]

Here are my wants for future Cinemaquettes:

Superman (Reeves)
Robocop
Darkness (Legend)
Batman (Keaton)
Rocky (from Rocky III or IV)
Apollo Creed (from Rocky II)
Meg Mucklebones (Legend)

Hopefully they'll come up with a payment plan or reduce their prices. Damn pissed that I wasn't allowed to get the T-850.

[cap70]

Damn pissed that I wasn't allowed to get the T-850.

Why, candyrocket?

[Gruson]

LOL

Things change Cap!

I was only going to collect Sideshow 1/4 pieces but the detail in the Cinemaquette line is just awesome and I am all about quality pieces.

Candy, as for pieces I hope they make, I REALLY want:
Superman (Reeve)
Batman (Keaton)

I would also love a 1/5 scale T-Rex from Jurassic Park...1/3 scale would be far too large. ;)

and if they got the Star Wars line...well, it's over and I will be broke. :laugh:

[RichardW]

I'm considering selling all my collectibles to be able to concentrate on some of these. I just don't know if the wife would appreciate their price.

[candyrocket786]

Why, candyrocket?

gf said Hell No!

[Gruson]

Well, I guess we know who wears the pants in that relationship....

:) j/k

If you want it, just get it man. It's your money. :buttrock:

[candyrocket786]

That's what I'm doing with the majority of my stuff right now. Getting rid of everything to focus on the high-end stuff. I just feel weird about devoting my time/effort/money into just collecting one type of statue. I'm also trying to save up for Indy.

[Gruson]

I also did the same.

I sold off a LOT of LOTR statues, Bowen pieces, and some other busts, etc.

The high end stuff just looks incredible when displayed.

I wish it were that easy.... :laugh:

Remember guys, she has something valuable she can hold out on if he doesn't spend some money on her. :p

[RichardW]

Hey candyrocket, what part of Houston do you live in? I was born and raised there. Spent most of my life in the Bellaire and Meyerland area. I've only been up in Oklahoma the last 3 years.

[Gruson]

Rich, I am in Dallas, TX...born and raised here.

Bartlesville??!?! Nice. Let me guess...you work at Phillips gas? :)

Funny, my fiancee is from Bartlesville We are going up there for her high school reunion soon.

[nexus]

*IF* we get into these, right now would only be interested in Alien, Predator, Terminator endo and TX. However, will have to see what LOTR looks like (maybe sell Sideshow versions to get these).

If they do Star Wars, it's all over.
OT
Luke (Jedi variant), Leia (slave variant), Han, Chewy, Lando, C3PO, R2, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Vader, Emperor, Royal Guard, Stormtrooper, Tie Pilot, Rebel Pilot
Prequels
Anakin, Padme (Queen variants), Obi-Wan, Mace, Qui-Gon, younger Yoda, Royal Guard, Clone Trooper (variants), Ep III Stormtroopers (variants)
Droids, Aliens, Jedis, more variants, yada-yada... :eek:

I'd have to sell my car.

[candyrocket786]

Hey candyrocket, what part of Houston do you live in? I was born and raised there. Spent most of my life in the Bellaire and Meyerland area. I've only been up in Oklahoma the last 3 years.

Rich,

I live on the Northwest side of Houston. Around HW 290/Loop 610.

[RichardW]

Gruson, actually my wife works for ConocoPhillips. I'm a stay-at-home dad right now to our one year old. That's how I have lots of time to post and little money to buy. :( I'll get back to work eventually so I can start giving it all to Cinemaquette.

Candyrocket, I bet it's nice and hot down there today. I certainly don't miss the Houston humidity.

[Gruson]

Richard, check your PM box.

Pretty funny that you moved from Houston to Bartlesville....

[RichardW]

PM sent back. :)

[Gianco]

If these guys get the License for Star Wars I'll be in deep s*it! Just to think about it makes me shakes!!!

[cap70]

They "may" get SW license, and if they do, the question is "when" the first SW statue will become available. It can be next year, it can be 5 years from now, it can be more. Who knows...
A 1/3 scale Vader would be AWESOME! :buttrock:
I can only dream. Maybe someday. Will keep my fingers crossed, and my "savings" ready. ;)

Vader? Howcome? You're a Vader freak, in fact, you're a collector freak! :laugh: Love your Vader Collection! Post those pics again! :laugh:

My Vaders are retired, Gianco! They don't work anymore. :laugh:

Will post more pics down the road. Now I just need to finish my display room! It's getting there. Slow, but I'm finishing.

You need to build a little house to display your collection! :laugh:

[cap70]

:laugh:
And my wife will ask me to live in this little house, alone!
I just built two(out of 8!!) detolfs and started to put my stuff

[RichardW]

Alone? But you'll have your Vaders to keep you company.

[cap70]

Alone? But you'll have your Vaders to keep you company.

When I say alone, I mean me and my statues. :laugh:

[cap70]

here are the two detolfs that I built. Mostly Attakus stuff right now. I'm still playing around until I have all the statues displayed the way I want.

[RichardW]

Nice. I think Maul and Vader 1 are my favorite Attakus statues. If I had the money, I'd be after them both.

[Gianco]

As James Hetfield would say (Metallica! :buttrock: ) "Nothing else matters"

Ahh! Remember to take a TV so you won't miss any soccer game! :thumbs2: :D

Very nice! You have two nice couples there! Chew - Han and 3PO - R2! Maul looks awesome! I'm just collecting SW busts and statues, GG's and Koto's so far. I'm waiting Attakus series 4 to get some pieces and will get some of the Attakus old series soon in a trip to NY! Ah! and pre-ordered Grievous Sideshow. My marriage is at risk! :laugh:
By the way thanks for the pics! Again! :D

[cap70]

and you are welcome, Gianco. And thanks. :)
Still a loooong way, tough, until everything is properly displayed and assembled.

I'm finishing building the fourth Detolf. These stands are very nice for the price. They don't fit some of the bigger Attakus statues, tough(and anything bigger than 15.5"), but they make a nice display overall, and you can use the top. Very happy with these stands. Just found out earlier that one came broken, tough. :(
Oh well...

[P1X4R]

great value for $60 each.

[cap70]

great value for $60 each.

yup, thanks for pointing those out. :thumbs2:
(even tough I paid $120 on each($60 for shipping!), they still a great value and cheaper than most display stands I've seen)

[Omega]

Alien, Predator, LOTR this is going to be a great line!!

[Exar Kun]

I have asked also details reagarding the Aragorn.

The answer:

"Thank you for your interest in our Aragorn Cinemaquette. The Cinemaquette displayed at SDCC was indeed a prototype and still is undergoing changes. There are some changes we are making on the face as well as other features. We hope you will enjoy the finished product when it's released. Thank you for your support.

Best Regards,

Customer Service
Cinemaquette"

I saw this posted on the Alien/Predator forum:
Just got off the phone with Cinemaquette and I was informed that the 1:3 alien that they were showing at SDCC will be officially announced for all to see this September and will be available around halloween.

The 1:3 pred is the same deal, but for 2006. In terms of price point I was told "Don't be surprised if it (Predator) hits almost $2000."

[P1X4R]

ouchy! start saving now! thanks for the info. i'm not terribly surprised about the price. is stan winston studios doing it? i know the sideshow version is done by them.

[RichardW]

Let's just hope his face isn't made from silicone, too. :laugh:

[candyrocket786]

Damn... Cmaq really has some balls. :laugh:

For 2k, it must be one hell of a statue. Maybe...even better than the SS Maquette.

[thx217]

Pred. for almost $2000........why am I not suprise........Man, can't wait to check it out! A 30" Predator with what ever pose!

Right now, all I need is the info. on T-800. :mad:

[Bill Murraye]

wow!! i will have to sell all my sideshow statues and begin an exclusive cinemaquette collection, the 1/4 and 1/3 scales are not compatible! and quality is different!!! i just saw a picture of the teeth on the cinemaquette t-800 head: PERFECT!! without any comparison on the sideshow version... that actually is my nightmares! :buttrock:

Yes, CM has that effect on people. And T-800 is MORE than a set good teeth. :)

I can`t think on how the SS maquette can be improved upon the pose, size etc. are all imo perfect. It will have to be VERY special for me to get the CM over the SS version especially at what`ll be about 3 to 4 times the price. But I guess if anyone can make a better predator CM can.
