All that plays into why the head still looks overly big from the side view.

Thanks - appreciate your insight & answers

LOL - it's all good man - if YOU like what's shown - THAT'S what's important since YOU are spending YOUR money.

We just wanted Sideshow to make a better job of this than the P2. Silly mistakes from the leading company in the collectibles community are frustrating. Observations on those mistakes are obviously going to get posted on the forum. I don't think we've been over-picky on this so far.

I know you know this already Col - we're not asking for perfection - but a head in the right scale for the body, and a body with the correct "heft" is a reasonable ask. Ditto for correct placement of the thigh armour (which I'm still hoping was a "broke in transit" issue).

Oh, don't get me wrong, with these kinds of prices, you should be critical. But for every reasoned criticism there's tons of hyperbole and nonsense, and people seem to lay that stuff on thicker in Predator threads for whatever reason. That P2 thread was a trainwreck, even with all the reasoned legit criticisms.

Agree with you 100%. I really appreciate the "block" function that's for sure.

(* it was fun most of the time as well though - I think we called that P2 thread and its Brother on the Freaks board "the thread that keeps on giving" *)

EDIT:
Here's a picture in comparison.
There are evident flaws here.

It's as if though the pre-pubescent teen in the white stole the costume, shrunk it and wore it

That is one malnourished Predator... Someone give that alien a Big-Mac

They've sculpted the same dent in the bio that was was on the LSB. Why Sideshow does this when it's totally wrong and been pointed out previously does my head in.
The bio also looks like it's not on the face properly cos there's a big gap between it and the top of the head.
I quite like this piece and hope the accuracy is fixed up
