It was also mentioned that SS "should" carry this. I may PO then... with almost definite delays, even an NRD can be retrieved if production pics look poor.

I agree! Please fix the torso on this too.

There’s no need to pre-order day 1. Pre-orders rarely sell out unless they set low edition sizes. The edition sizes likely won’t even be announced when pre-orders open. This will be available well into next year.

yep, but it's not a jab, it's a knock-out punch.

I understand where you're coming from, but Steve Wang sculpted the CM in that pose because it's the most tasteful, classy, straight forward pose that is perfect for a mueseum quality piece.

i think the pose on this one is a game-winning GRAND SLAM.

i too hear what you're saying, probably the most iconic scene in the movie, but for a end-all be-all Predator piece they chose wisely.

the Art Director and Producers of this piece deserve a MASSIVE raise.

Of course not.

But I'd rather just toss this on a payment plan and not worry about it. This won't be a $1K piece....

You know you are one of my favorite posters, right?

i've been looking at the few pictures, and as a life-long Predator-junkie, i am absolutely floored, THIS IS IT. this is the one i have been patient waiting for. Simple, classy Museum pose, CRAZY accuracy, 1/3 scale. It EVERYTHING i have been looking for in a 1987 Predator statue. i don't think the lower jaw has a cleft indentation...i think it look like that from paint-work. the waist from the screen shot did look a little thick i totally agree with the other Pred-Junkies...but after seeing there angles i think it's spot-on...with a little defined, pronounced muscle mass in the abdomen, which i don't think it s detractor unlike the new "roided" PCS Pumpkinhead.

the battle had begun, Master Steve Wang's CM Masterpiece against Prime1's 1:3 Museum Masterline. It's VERY early, but i think Prime1 did it...i think they bested the CM with this offering. but my goodness, the CM Predator being hand sculpted with that level off accuracy (aside from the crown and outstretched mandibles) is just mind boggling...it's still an undeniable masterpiece.



...now does this best the SS EX Maquette, that is another story. This new Prime1 statue can claim many things over the SS EX Maquette, the one thing it absolutely cannot claim is this:

^ Great post and with you 100%.

I will always love my SS SWS Maquette but will happily display this by it.

P1 did me a huge favour refunding my 1:4 deposit.
