Will all Prime 1 Studio's Predators be 1/3 scale, or will some be 1/2 scale also?

Yeah, as far as we know, all of the Alien and Predators will be 1/3. 1/2 would be too big for most. 1/3 is a scale I had little interest in for the same reason until these were announced. I'll make an exception as I'll likely sell off a few items to pay for these anyway which will free up some space.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Based on comments over the last 24 hours, I guess I'm in the minority (born rebellious ) - I'd rather it wasn't this scene. There have been attempts at the gargoyles before (at much smaller scales) and they tend to overpower the figure.

There are plenty of other scenes (actual and implied) that I'd pick out before this - including any number of penthouse, alleyway & abattoir shots.

As Python previously mentioned, it would be nice to have King Willy's head as an accessory, maybe as an exclusive item with the City Hunter Predator holding it in one hand...

I'm not a gambling man, but having looked at Prime 1's style to date, I'd bet we will see something taken almost directly from this scene, with a stylised base for size restraints. I think there are better options, but as long as the sculpt is accurate and the pose looks natural, I don't really mind what they decide on...

Personally, I think the first picture would be the PERFECT pose/base for the Prime 1 Studios City Hunter Predator.

What would you go for, as far as base/pose?

Given the size, I actually hope they do go with a fairly static pose for these. Not entirely museum (aside from the Big chap who suits that perfectly) But a fairy neutral pose with a little bit of life and movement injected in. I'm hoping they will keep things fairly simple and concentrate on absolutely nailing the sculpt and details. Maybe adding a few cool switch outs which Prime 1 seem to excel at.


I really hope they succeed where most fail and replicate his beautiful bio also...
