Thanks so much. Yes, tbh I didn't wanna touch the dreads, because they aren't the focus of the bust but an artistic representation of them. Thanks again, very kind.

question for all the CoolKids.

There's a local convention by me and i was thinking about having R. David Smith sign my CoolProps Predator 2 Bust.

R. David Smith is the stunt man that played the Predator in the wide shots after Harrigan chopped off the Predator's left arm on the side of the building before crashing into Grandma and Grandapop bathroom.







He's one of the few people ever credited to play a Stan Winston Predator and the scenes he is in are very identifiable due to his left arm. What do you guys think? I think im gonna do it.

Don't forget to ask him to date it. That was a great idea Weller told you about.
Wish I'd always been doing it when I got signatures.

you think i should get him to sign it? Even though he's a stunt actor with a solid amount of identifiable screen time?

my brother thinks i shouldn't do it. His logic is if it was KPH - 100% but not thus guy. he thinks it will devalue it, i dont think so, won't appreciate it, and I kinda like the scenes with the 1-Armed Predator.

Yeah. Before even the Special Editions the guy that played Boba Fett came to a LCS along with some of the other in "the suit" guys whose faces are never known.

This was way before all the con craze. People then though they were a bunch of losers. Got him to sign an ESB poster with Boba's head. Years later now that he's gone TREMENDOUSLY added to the value. I wouldn't sell it and it still hangs framed on my wall till this day as the ONLY piece of pop culture art I have displayed outside of my designated area, where anyone can see it.

Legit signatures always enhance something

I just saw that Danny Glover will be at Chiller Theater in Parsippany, NJ in October.




I think i'm gonna have R. David Smith sign the left side of the bust and Danny Glover sign the right side of the bust...where it's painted flat black. These were the two actors that faced off in the final battle in the Predator ship. I think these signatures would be good to get on this awesome bust. When Danny Glover was there like 7-8 years ago he looked REALLY old dude is now like 77, this may be my last chance.

thoughts?

Also use a (tested) fineline marker with good color contrast compared to black.

Blue is not the best color. Many use silver or white. But for predator maybe red is more appealing, but don't know if red tends to fades a bit over time on black?

Red does sound cool, but i have to look for one of those Red Sharpie paint markers.

I was thinking about having him sign with the traditional silver Sharpie paint marker. but Red is a good suggestion.
