Good, good - space them out so I'm able to get a Jungle Hunter Pred eventually.

If I could choose the order, I would like to see the Big chap first, then this P2. They're the two I'm really hoping to be able to buy. Any others will be a bonus although I'd love a P1 also to stand next to my SWS maquette.

Me neither, I just want them to get one fully revealed with all details soon, ideally the big chap maquette so that A, I'll know if it's a line I can realistically afford to get involved with. And B, I'll know whether or not to cancel most of my existing orders to fund these...

There's a good vibe around the Predator and prepaint communities - CoolProps, XM and now Prime 1 - we waited SO long for someone to erase the bad taste left by so many failed Sideshow attempts.

Tis good times . . .

I wonder how many orders for the SS Jungle Hunter have been cancelled. A couple of months ago I was having a crisis of conscience wondering if I should order one, but I held strong. No way in hell I would order one now. Hopefully, the days of lazy design, poor QC, and disappointment are over.

I suspect there are limitations, or laws that might prevent actual lasers being added. Plus it would be difficult at this size anyway. Unless they can fit in a fairly powerful spot light and direct it through a clever housing which might simulate the effect a bit.


I was just thinking, what kind of base would people like on this? I know Prime 1 love making art deco building type basis, so I suspect this guy will be a top of a large Eagle or two (Chrysler building) But another option would be a grimy/wet back alley setting, King Willy head in hand ;) Or a ship interior with it's beautiful orange illuminated look.

I think a good base for the City Hunter would be in the movie when the City Hunter is on top of the building where he holds up his trophy, and is hit by lightning, and with the large clock near the base perhaps...:thinking:

To make the 3 dot laser beams on the Predator's bio masks to shoot out, maybe Prime 1 Studios should try using voodoo magic[F...'ING VOODOO MAGIC MUN!...] :muahaha:

Python
04-30-2017, 12:27 PM
Yeah, as far as we know, all of the Alien and Predators will be 1/3. 1/2 would be too big for most. 1/3 is a scale I had little interest in for the same reason until these were announced. I'll make an exception as I'll likely sell off a few items to pay for these anyway which will free up some space.

Based on comments over the last 24 hours, I guess I'm in the minority (born rebellious :) ) - I'd rather it wasn't this scene. There have been attempts at the gargoyles before (at much smaller scales) and they tend to overpower the figure.

There are plenty of other scenes (actual and implied) that I'd pick out before this - including any number of penthouse, alleyway & abattoir shots.

I'm not a gambling man, but having looked at Prime 1's style to date, I'd bet we will see something taken almost directly from this scene, with a stylised base for size restraints. I think there are better options, but as long as the sculpt is accurate and the pose looks natural, I don't really mind what they decide on...

Given the size, I actually hope they do go with a fairly static pose for these. Not entirely museum (aside from the Big chap who suits that perfectly) But a fairy neutral pose with a little bit of life and movement injected in. I'm hoping they will keep things fairly simple and concentrate on absolutely nailing the sculpt and details. Maybe adding a few cool switch outs which Prime 1 seem to excel at.


I really hope they succeed where most fail and replicate his beautiful bio also...

Haha... If I had three wishes, I'd waste one to own that thing ;) It went missing after filming which is part of the reason we've never had a decent prop collectible made of it. It's always been a striking design to me, it looks like an angry metallic duck, and I love it. It is easily my favorite piece of Predator hardware. Here's to hoping Prime 1 manage to capture its shape properly.

While this will hopefully be true in most cases, the hero P2 bio is not accessible to anybody, other than maybe the person who likely "borrowed" it after filming. That's me assuming things but it has been lost at any rate. The only surviving mask is the stunt mask which was used in the subway sequence as the P2 crawled across the train. It's nice, but it has major differences to the hero in both shape, size and colour. Here is mine from HCG who copied the original surviving prop...

Even though I don't think there would be any comparison at all between the final products, I think this pose is too similar to Sideshow's City Hunter. This one would be larger, and most likely of much higher quality, but still, why not start with something a bit more original?

My thoughts too.

The Sideshow/SWS 1:4 Jungle Hunter maquette pose worked OK and that wasn't a movie still.

There have been so many awesome poses in kits, prepaints, comics and fan art that it would seem a shame to use this large-scale opportunity to deliver a relatively boring pose.

Time for something different after all these years.

Python
04-30-2017, 05:17 PM
I don't know, the new SSC P1 is almost exactly the same pose as the CM and nobody seemed to notice. The P2 maquette from Sideshow has a walking movement, it was actually really nice imo. If you're going museum pose like Prime 1 often do, there's only so much you can do. I'm not campaigning for the above by the way, I said myself there are better options. I just think that is likely what we'll end up seeing. I don't necessarily want a screen accurate pose, I'd be more than happy with a totally made up pose so long as it's natural an suits the character. But at this kind of size, it doesn't want to be too dynamic. I guess we'll find out in time.

HeavyMetalSpike

Honestly don't see the similarity between the CM P1 and the latest one - maybe I misunderstood what you meant http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/Dunno.gif

I actually really like the pose of the new Sideshow P1 - but given its many sculpting/art-direction mistakes it was an easy pass - and money was saved for XM + CoolProps + Prime 1 stuff so it's all good :)

Cross-posting from the other forum (sorry :o )

With a decent art director, this P2 doesn't have to be a copy of a commonly shared movie pic OR any still from the movie.

Off the top of my head, adaptations from any these would be much more preferable to me:


The spear stab in the penthouse.
Any of the kills from the penthouse for that matter.
King Willie death blow from alleyway.
Skull-cleaning next to the ships trophy case.
Scaling the wall.
The spear swings from the abattoire.
The gautlet adjust from the abattoire.
The smartdisc throw from the abattoire.
The gun smash from the abattoire.



There have also been some great inspired/implied poses released as prepaints (that Kotobukiya piece springs to mind) as well as Garage kits (Hayes' holding the disc for example . . . )

In the USA the FDA regulates LASERs.They can only be within a certain power level for consumer products.I believe they now have a ban on all higher powered LASERs coming from China. Stupid people are buying high powered ones from China and pointing them at planes and everything else.

You don't see any similarities at all between the pose of the CM, and the new SSC P1? I like the pose on it also, but they're basically the same. The Sideshow version is slightly more relaxed, has it's leg raised a little and it looking in the opposite direction, but they are similar. I'm not knocking the pose on the Sideshow one, my point was in reply to JG that it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if Prime 1 used a pose that we may have seen before, so long as is the right choice of pose for their large scale Predator and the base design they choose. I really don't mind what they go with as long as it's aesthetically pleasing and faithful to the Predators posture and movement style etc.

HeavyMetalSpike
05-01-2017, 04:10 PM
Yeah - still not getting it. The perspective you showed for the CM is almost sideways on & looking down - when it's next to you (viewed from the front and straight ahead - it's WAY wider in every respect (especially the unmasked head - oh - and the body - and the legs, and the arms, and . . . .. ah - yu get the point :) )

Anyways - back on topic - FOR THE P2 - I'd still prefer something OTHER than "gargoyle base + standing upright".

Totally agree. Especially with Alien and Predator stuff being so expensive. I personally like the early teases so I know what I'm in store for and don't do irrational PO's. On FB, they said Predator is far away. Probably next year. Lots of time to save and gear up for the Predator storm.

AWESOME and I hope Jungle will be next.

not likely at all. In fact, he will prolly be last. Teasers have already been shown for Wolf and Celtic. I'd rather see a Elder over P1 do to having the CM already. I really hope they don't produce more than 2 a year. I'm strapped.

Ah that’s right they were teased, damn. Didn’t have the money for the CM back then, love that one! But I’m with you on the Elder, would love to see Prime 1 do him. I would be all over that.

I would not take the chance. If your a Predator fan of any of them, this line will be it for a long time to come. And considering there will never be another movie cause of how Shane Black handled it. Better keep your eye on this line and the infinity studios, as well.

I wish they would sell some of their vinyl backdrops they have been using to showcase many of their pieces with. The backdrop of the Eastern Columbia Clock Tower totally completes this piece. Having one set up in a back lit movie poster box (I have several) would look amazing with this piece as you can see from the pics. I'm apparently one of the few who would want to wall mount it similar to the way they did at the show.

Yup. Agree with you wholeheartedly. Sideshow sadly is not the quality company anymore that once was and they have nothing on Prime 1 which IMO became the best company out there with their outstanding products. I am very glad I did not bought the Predator maquettes. They looked very bad and their quality sucked. I am very happy that I was patient...it payed off. Good luck getting rid off the Predator maquettes at half of the original price.:radior:

I used to be a big proponent for Sideshow's Alien and Predator stuff. I still have their earlier stuff like Wolf 1:1 bust, Predalien Maquette, a bunch of bios, etc. I guess because they were the only ones making the Alien/Predator stuff, I kind of overlooked how bad they really were. For example, Sideshow used paper for lenses in one of their earlier bios. I eventually wised up and stopped buying their Alien/Predator stuff a few years ago, and I'm glad I'm making the switch over to Prime 1.

Agree 100%.

They've had YEARS to get things right.

Don't have an art direction team working on a franchise if they have repeatedly proved they are incapable of producing.

So it may not be the Perfect P2 I was hoping for (unrealistically) But it is a very good one!! And it's nice to see that it can indeed be table mounted. I'm in for this for sure if I can find the funds...

Holding the disc doesn't work for the pose at all....so i don't need the EX.

Wish they would do a masked version only which was cheaper because i have no interest in displaying predators unmasked tbh.

But yes it looks fantastic and to have it on a wall would be excellent.....just waiting on price now lol.

Also him holding a Spine/skull would have been a nice swap out, or even the Net gun would have been cool and different.

Glad that they added a smart disc-wielding hand as that is my favorite predator weapon.

The unmasked head sculpt looks very inaccurate to me. It's really wide for one. Not impressed with the paint application on the face either.

Agreed on the unmasked portrait, not perfect but that’ll be staying in the box anyway so doesn’t bother me, saying that it’s still miles ahead of anything we’ve got before, the Infinity P2 on the other hand.....

$50 premium for the EX hand. A shame they didn't make the Combistick retractable or a swap out with it retracted. I can see this being hard to display for some with that extra height if they don't want to use the disc.

Am I correct that the only switch-out for the EX is the disc hand? If so, I can take it or leave it. Anyone know the shipping situation with P1? Will it be similar in cost if I order from SS? The P1 site says I will pay import taxes if I order through them. Will I pay those if I order through SS?

I'm still undecided - but if I can design a base myself that I like (shouldn't be hard) I'll buy it and won't use their base.

THEN I'm torn between ordering from PRIME and paying (possibly) massive shipping (to Canada) vs. giving Sideshow some business I REALLY don't want to. Does anyone know for sure what PRIME1 charge for shipping vs Sideshow?

I would love to see him standing on a tree and having that be the base and maybe with the various large branches in the background too.

Wouldn't it be crazy if Prime 1 made a clear resin of his arm or shoulder on one side as an EX switch out to show that he's turning invisible and blending into the background??? :vortex:

You're right, Infinity Studios. Also I like the pose better even if this one is iconic and the head just looks badass. But it doesn't seem to be a WW license so the price + shipping ain't gonna be cheap.

Prime 1 means Quality Control, they sure know how to deliver. At a price tag of $949.00 for the exclusive now I feel robbed for paying $1.200 for the Sideshow’s Jungle Hunter Maquette.

If you checkout with it in your basket it should give you a shipping price.

Said $198 for me to the UK, but i'll still order through Sideshow because of discount codes and reward points.

The only Prime 1 piece I've ordered so far through their website is the JP Triceratops because it wasn't available through Sideshow.

Snap, I much prefer buying via Sideshow. It's easier as I already have an active account with them, slightly cheaper on shipping generally, and they do have a good customer service team if there's an issue with the item.

Put this on your living room wall while the mrs is out... :laugh:

The EX is really weak on his one, there are a few things they could have done. But on the flip side, those who go for the reg aren't really missing out. I hear you on limited space, and funds for me of late. But I'm definitely in for this, the P2 is arguably my favorite character (Excluding the Big chap) So I'm happy filling up more of my limited space with him. There will be plenty of cool stuff down the line from Prime 1 that may call to you more than this I suspect, picking and choosing what we buy is wise these days....

The P2 maquette wasn't plastic, it's a fairly solid piece let down mostly by a poor bio head sculpt, bad dreadlocks and a small spear. It's not a terrible statue at all, but you are correct that this Prime 1 P2 is far superior. Infinity may even go one better yet, we'll find out soon. I'll be buying this one though for sure (and I own the Sideshow maquette)

Most people won't realise, but we came very close to getting some refinements to it. I only know this as I received a message from somebody within Sideshow asking me to nitpick their statue in order for them to hopefully act on the constructive feedback I offered (there was a lot! But I was realistic) So some people in Sideshow certainly do give a damn. Sadly it's a massive company and everybody is lumped in together (something I only fully realised at that moment to be fair) They weren't the people making the decisions ultimately and it went out as was. A huge shame at the time as it was the only high end P2 statue and it could have been incredible (it's still good imo) That has now changed as we have two very good P2 statues to choose from currently and we're all winning, good times :D

OK being a little harsh on that piece but those plastic looking blades make the piece look like a action figure.Sorry but P1 is better in my opinion..They didn't listen to the bad feedback about the P1 either..The P1 has a lot going for it, Paint is really good and the statue is sculpted really well.The base is good and Ex is a must..Now the Bad,The leg armor is not on the side placement ,The Bio Mask should been a tad smaller,The UN-mask Mandibles should have been separated..Now the thing is only collectors would care about these issues as most people you show the piece would never know or care..:thinking:

With regards to infinity studio, i am definitely buying the prime1 p2 because prime1 has never let me down in term of quality, every statue i got from them looked like the original photos, with rare exceptions of a few very minor paint app issue, they are perfect. So i have 100% confidence preordering prime 1, also like the prime 1 p2 pose better - always loved that p2 pose with minimum base footprint.

Infinity studio on the other hand, i am not saying it is bad but

1) It is a completely unknown chinese company, with unproven track record (their latest Jin Lin Young preorder photos do look impressive, but noone seen any actual in hand photos yet).

2) The pred isn't even painted yet, and as we all know from sideshow, it's a whole different ballgame on what you actually receive vs what the preorder photos look like.

3) I am on all the chinese WeChat statue groups, bunch ballers in there dropping 5 figures usd every month buying up everything. But I have yet to see anything about infinity studio, it isn't even that well known in china. Not to mention any issues with damage will be a nightmare to resolve.

Only way i will consider infinity studio predator is if ss start selling it or after release all inhand reviews are universally good, otherwise just way too much risk.

Trying to score a Jin Lin Young though from infinity, because there is nothing like it, but only option right now is from flippers or eBay from china.

A question for you Predator experts out there. In the production pics it looks as if the last half of his lower mandibles are "gums".

Tough to tell from the movie as the "maskless" scenes are dark or heavily colour-infused - like here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2r8YLDUMnw

This link - https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/blog/predator-2-making-the-predator-suits - suggests that the Elder's were a stronger "pinkish" colour - but the City Hunter's less so (it's there - but not as prominent as on the Elder).

The Coolprops 1:1 bust has the "pinkish" colours - as does the Sideshow 1:2 bust.
