Predator Jungle Hunter Maquette

[Gruson]

Neca head is still too big too. Sideshow's head is comical. I only hope Prime 1 kills it!!! Original Sideshow Predator is still best so far. Ex version.

Pretty clear from this picture that the Bio is nearly as long as the torso. Definitely too big.

You'll have to trust THX217 on this one...he has seen it in person and knows his stuff...and we all know how photos can be utterly deceiving.
I'd wait for better photos...

You got my interest with this Sideshow, pose and interpretation took me to the childhood. Most intriguate piece from ssdcc, well done ss.

Bane and deadpool also cool.

Go on like this SS , i know you can bring the best pieces in collectibles.

Deadpool & Predator 1 maquette are certainly good contenders for most intricate piece at the show but imho Malavestros wears the crown!

I'm still in love with this piece. As someone mentioned earlier, armor moves and shifts. ESPECIALLY on the thighs. Anyone who's ever worn a thigh holster knows this. So I'm not upset about the leg armor. The Predator is in a walking pose so it's acceptable.

As far as the bio size is concerned, I believe it's accurate. There are many behind the scenes photos that show the bio as appearing quite large in some shots as opposed to others so I'm sure what some are seeing is camera trickery.

This will indeed be mine.

I understand that you may be interested in this regardless, as many people probably are. But to try to rationalize a serious error by saying that it could happen in the real world is kind of silly. If you purchased a Superman statue, and it had considerable brown overspray on the butt, would you say "People fart, and sometimes more than air comes out. It's acceptable."? Throughout all of the Predator movies, how many times did you observe the leg armor out of place? Did it become misaligned during filming? It's very possible. But the director would never intentionally allow that to make it into the film. In the real world, Bruce Banner's pants would never remain intact after he changed into the Hulk. Would that knowledge comfort you if SS forgot to add the pants to your Hulk statue?

Thigh armor shifting is hardly a "serious error" in my opinion. However naked Hulk and Superman crapping his pants would indeed be debatable.

[jaguargod]

So you are saying that you believe that SS intentionally designed the leg armor that way, to be more "realistic"?

If this is not a serious error, and skid mark Superman and pant-less Hulk are "debatable" errors, then I would have to assume that your level of expectations is set very low.

[HeavyMetalSpike]

Armour shifts - yeah.

And if this was delivered smashed in pieces we could say "he does blow himself up in the movie".
