Oh yeah, I say I don't like a flat cut off like this. And yet that ID4 Alien is the only 1:1 bust I currently own. It's awesome and it was good value at only $699 considering it's size, quality and materials used (translucent resin) Although I suppose his body naturally thins out towards the base. That said, it works pretty well on this this Predator also tbf. I still like the pose and over all shape, but still really don't like the face or mask sadly. But I do look forward to seeing in hand pictures.

I did think about this bust in passing the other day but just assumed it got delayed/cancelled. There’s been so much quality stuff announced and released (though not necessarily predator) since this got announced that I just forgot about it.
Would love to see some in hand pics if it does ever make it into collectors hands though.

Love that bust, probably the biggest bargain of the last decade for me. Really good quality yet it seemed to pass by most people’s radar unchecked.

Oh definitely! Easily the best pound for pound collectible I own. I think it's finally sold out now also. It's a shame it didn't sell better, who knows what kind of similar products we may have seen if it had.

I've passed on that ID4 bust 3 different times. Added to carts and everything. My final decision was that without an Exoskeleton bust to pair with it just wasn't worth the space.
If the eyes had been chromed probably would have bit but then probably more expensive.
Can't imagine an ID4 torso like this Predator, that opens to reveal this guy Ã- la ECC's Rosenberg.

You definitely missed out on an awesome bust. The slightly dull eyes were my only real complaint (Well along with a couple of visible seem lines) But everything else is awesome. I'd love the exoskeleton also one day, but I can't see it happening sadly. I'm still upset that they cancelled the colonist maquette....

Yeah if the new movie had been on the original's level all this stuff would be flying.
When the 1st one came out people would have melted for this level of merchandise.
Hard to imagine it's pretty much an old folks flick now.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I'm not complaining or anything but why are we discussing this ID4 bust in a Predator thread? Did Tsume make the ID4 bust?
