I think Prime 1 said Dutch will be impossible due to licensing issues.

Don't they have the license to the movie for 1/3?

They do but I believe they also require a license for Arnold?s likeness.

Yeah was confirmed by J that they do not have the rights to make the Dutch character due to not having Arnold's likeness rights specifically for that franchise. No idea how you can get the rights for terminator but not get Predator...

Weird you need more than one if you have at least the main license. An actor representation license should weigh heavier i guess. Otherwise statue companies have to buy double or more for every movie (movie+actor A+actor B. oh wait, C is left out and need something too). Put Arnold in army outfit and his license can be used for multiple movies

New license for multiple scales is BS too. Statue is statue..

Licensing for new movies is usually more all inclusive.

Yeah, I think this is very much the case. I agree that probably he best thing they can do with this one is price it similar to the JH and actually put a decent ES number on it from the start. It'll probably sell 3-400 easily if they do that, I wonder if the CH even pulled in those numbers?

Exactly, they need to pull a Thanos on Throne exclusive tactic and drop the edition-size and people will run to get it due to fomo. Doubt city hunter sold much, was a massive let down. The fact I ordered 2 limited closed mouth JH busts to go with my 1987 DXS bonus but couldn?t justify city hunter shows how unimpressed I was with CH

I think the pred design even more than the movie, the original jungle hunter just looks way cooler IMO. And as we all know requiem sucked but the wolf is beloved cause he just looks awesome :P

Wolf is a fresh design and just a cool calm collected character which reminds me a lot of what they were intended to be. He'd be the only other predator I would order and I think prime 1 would do him justice as they know JH was a CM killer so Wolf would have to top Sideshows one.
