Hooked back into the hobby ever since.

If this piece turns out well (at least 85% proto quality, no paint flaking or need to seal, etc.), I could see myself eventually selling everything else as I lose interest in the hobby and keeping just this. It's that good.

And that massive.

Not a huge Wolf fan, the Hot Toys figure will do just fine. I'd really only go 1/3 for the original.

I would go for a 1/3 Wolf anyday. Yikes

I'd much prefer a 1/4 Wolf. And while they're at it, a 1/4 Berserker, Celtic and P2 Elder.

These 1/3 statues are awesome, but at 5k+ a pop, I'm not buying many. I haven't even ordered the City Hunter which is arguably my favourite design. Although that's mostly due to the implementation of that one lacking a lot compared to this incredible JH. Not sure I'd pay that even for Wolf, unless it was staggeringly impressive.

The City Hunter would be a lot more tempting if they just changed the base. Certain aspects of a statue can make it an instant "yes," even in spite of its flaws. The base on the CH makes it an instant "no" for me.

Agree with you there... the price is somethin to consider now days.

Just a heads up to anyone here in the US who ordered this piece through Secret Compass, so another collector recently got a shipping invoice through SC for a P1 Jurassic piece that was listed as 'Free US Shipping' but was still billed an additional shipping charge of like $300+.

I bring this up because I just noticed that the Jungle Hunter is still available for PO at SC but no longer listed as 'Free US Shipping' and it's now listed at MSRP of $2999. I did go ahead and PO the DXS while it was listed as free shipping but now that I go to my orders page the 'amount owed ' which translates to total cost of the statue, is now at $2999 rather than the $3,298.90 that included free shipping.

So the 'amount remaining' that I have still have yet to pay outside the deposit for the piece is $2669 which in reality should be $2968.90, that is if SC still plans to honor the original listed price that included free shipping.

I went ahead and sent them an email to see if perhaps this is a glitch or something cause either way, this piece still has a long way to go before it ships.
