Prime 1: Predator - Jungle Hunter 1:3

[Blade3327]

The obsession begins again. Made this mock-up comparing the 1/4 Big Game and 1/3 Movie statues. We don't have the measurements for the newer piece, so I estimated based on the fact that the CM is 32" and Prime 1 will more than likely want to beat that height by a couple inches because, well, they're Prime 1.



I suppose if you commissioned a repaint for Big Game, the two would be comparable in both quality and price -- assuming the 1/3 is presentable out of the box.

- Regular biomask head
- Gort biomask head
- Unmasked head, mandables open
- Unmasked head, mandables semi open (2:33:25)
- Loose biomask on base
- Left hand open + closed
- Right hand open + closed
- Short + long wrist blade (if not sliding)

I thought the same, but now I'm not sure. Could've just been an editing gimmick they threw into the video. A mid-roar sculpt just to reference that promotional photoshoot would be an extremely deep cut. It's cool, but from a business standpoint they'd be smarter to include a closed-mouth head.

Would love to see a trophy hand, personally.

Nice! Beautiful with the green background. I will buy some green wallpaper too LOL..

The semi open probably is real, bcs there are more shots in the vid visible. i will make some copies of it.

Here's a tweak showing how much better the torso could be (adjustment by kohiba99 on the Freaks board)

The four heads (if they don't cut one to lower cost)

Head 1


Head 2


Head 3


Head4 - Semi open / relaxed face



Head4 - Same but side view

Fully agree, someone should post this picture on facebook. Bit slimmer looks stronger.

Legs should not be scaled down much, only his waist/stomach.

Hope they adjust this fast and put the PO up.
They wrote 'PO Soon' so bring it and dump some of the other stuff. Ohh should not say that out loud..

It's amazing work, and the proportions are good for everything EXCEPT his torso. How they screwed that up while supposedly attending to so much detail is beyond me. Maybe they should have stepped back a bit and got someone with fresh eyes to critique.

Doesn't need the height extending (or the breadth slimming down) A LOT, but it DOES need it as it makes him look like those dumpy kids that couldn't climb ropes in gym-class.

Real shame.

I'm surprised more people didn't pick up on this straight away.

The width of the torso looks acceptable, but he does look a bit pudgy from the side. Wonder if they could bring in the depth but keep the width mostly intact. Would still rather this than the CM or SWS proportions.



Another mock-up for those wanting to do an Alien and Predator display. Again, this assumes that the 1/3 Predator will be a couple inches bigger than the CM, but at this already massive size, a three inch discrepancy isn't a huge deal.

Where things do get dicey is the size of the Alien Warrior. The website states it will be 26" tall, so that's what the shorter frame is based on. But if I scale the image so its width matches the given 30" width, the whole statue would be a few inches taller and that's the second frame. The truth may lie somewhere in between. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll look bigger in person than measurements would have us believe.

Focal length also changes the way its dimensions relate to each other, so I used a different picture for the larger frame to try and cover more ground. Clumsy, I know. Would sure be nice if Prime 1 could just put these three pieces together in a photo so we know for sure.



At least now there's a Predator with a large enough base that the 30"x30" base on the Warrior or the giant wall on the Big Chap won't feel so overpowering.

That too.
And maybe rushing some of the 1/4 now..

Hopefully either Alien will look great next to the Predator.

Now choosing your new statue combos is shot in foot again..
I prefer 1/4 (don't have 1/3) and the warrior did look bit small so I was really thinking ordering it to go with JH 1/4.

Think I don't go for other 1/3 aliens, only this pred. This will take some yrs also before it is ready. Ugh I hate waiting so long.. (with pos to be let down again)
