I love it. Overall I'm very impressed with it and love the pose 100X more than the Winston piece. I was never a fan of the earlier piece which is why I never picked it up. To me, the original Winston looked more like the Predator was about to b***h slap someone than slash at them with his blades. The leg position was also very awkward.
I have to admit though that on this recient piece, I'm a bit perplexed why the Sideshow development team moved the highly discussed right thigh armor from the outside position on the prototype, to a position more forward in the final product. No one from Sideshow has bothered to chime in which leads me to believe they would rather not discuss it. This I don't understand, because if it's they're final decision then they shouldn't hide the debate behind a wall of silence. I am just curious if the source material they used is different from what we've seen in this thread or if they moved it for shipping purposes or even something else. I believe someone mentioned somewhere that the leg armor was moved to accommodate the cut n sew. Again, that's something I don't understand and, if true, a decision that has come to bite them in the rear on a few forums.
I also am not put off at all by the bio. The size seems perfect to me as there is a lot of source material that shows the bio as rather large. I will be able to make a better sound judgment once I have him in hand and he is next to Dutch.
Come on HMSpike, you know you want too!!
