Prime 1: Predator - Jungle Hunter 1:3

Honestly it's just the width of his skull and maybe the slanted eyes that are bad. The tucked in mandibles and his flat profile are good (in my opinion of course).

the new predator looks like an first grader tried to draw winstons predator and they used design for the film.from the shoe string dreads to the lack of definition everywhere on the face. The detail here is on the same level with the Rubies AVP Predator mask.

If the factory doesn't nail the paint apps on this, I'll probably nab the SWS maquette and get it repainted/re-netted. Been going for too long without a Jungle Hunter in my collection and, let's be honest, a 1/4 maquette would be so much simpler to display/transport.

This 1/3 needs to be a home run, otherwise it's not happening. I'm out after the first sign of flaking paint.

Seeing Prey really has me excited to own this definitive statue of the definitive charcter in 1:3 scale. Look at what we having coming:

That is exactly what I thought! The Prey Predator is such a let down! Wanted more of the first Predator or 2nd predator look. This one looked more like that crap they had van dam suite up in when they were first about to do it

Yup. If this $3k + statue isn’t almost perfect, I’m out

I loved the film, and the only complaint I have is the feral predator's maskless face. I was shocked to see people on AvPGalaxy praising it and saying it looked "good" or "great". This was easily the most hideous, generic, unimaginative, unappealing predator facial design we have ever seen. By miles. There are some predator head designs that don't look great (Mr. Black, Scar), but this is the first one I've seen that is so far away from what the predator actually is that it might as well be a random CGI movie monster. This is the first one I've disliked so much that I feel disgusted and honestly offended when I see it.

With that being said, I thought the overall predator design was solid and I would gladly own a statue of it (without ever displaying the unmasked head). The armor, the skin texture, the weaponry, the colors & patterns - all well-designed in my opinion. I will say that the elongated giraffe neck did not work for me (nor should it have been a thing in the first place), but I can get over that.

Watched Prey just recently, and while i agree that the Predator wasn't the coolest looking Pred we've seen, this movie was set at least 2 centuries before the events of the original 1987 Predator movie, so Predators that existed in the 1700's would not have looked like the Predators from previous movies, as they would've had to evolve over time.Overall, Prey was a great movie, with a lot of cool ideas, and the actress who played the lead roll was great aswell.After how incredibly bad The Predator was, i thought the Predator movies were done, but given how awesome Prey was, there's still hope for this franchise yet.......

The unmasked feral predator reminded me of those inbred psychos form the movie Wrong Turn. The biomask looked cool and the bear fight scene was entertaining.

It was 300 years ago, and that statement makes 0 sense. Evolution to that degree does not happen over 300 years. Look at humans 300 years ago. Or ten-thousand years ago. Or one-hundred-thousand years ago.

Regardless, the director already stated that this predator is a "different breed". Same thing they said about the super predators in Predators. The issue isn't that it looks different, it's the fact that the design is just extremely poor. It's not unique or original, it has no visual appeal, follows no theme, and has 0 personality.
