Prime 1 Studio: The Predator - Fugitive Predator 1:1 Bust

[snakej32]

Surprised that this turned out so poorly.

In the videos iv seen , it looks kinda plasticky especially around the mouth area.

Need to vent after finally putting this piece of ---- back in it's box.

Why can't every collectible company use the compact, grey styrofoam like ECC? Why can't they use better packing material? Why do I have to struggle for an hour to get the head to line up properly with the piss-poor cut-out design of the styrofoam? Didn't I spend two-thousand ----ing dollars on this garbage?

I noticed some more parts on the head where paint must have been scraped off when I had tried putting the bio-masks on for the first time.

This whole experience has me disgusted. Prime 1, the supposed "best of the best". Honestly feel scammed in a way. You don't cheap out when I'm giving you two-thousand dollars. In fact, this should have been delivered to me on a silver ----ing platter for that cost.


K I'm done.

You're making me worry for the Jungle hunter which I've dropped a huge amount of money on. Prime 1 were a safe bet when I ordered that guy, lately we've seen a few stories like yours. I am sorry you had a bad experience..

This also bothers me with Jungle Pred I have on order as well as LOTR pieces...Hope Prime 1 fixes these latest issues as they had a great reputation which will suffer and lead to cancellations if they don't fix this.

Ditto - not good ma man.

The ONLY piece I've taken a risk on is the Infinity Studios Predator 2 ('cos - ya knows).

Trying to hold fire on the PRIME1 stuff until people have these in-hand. Fingers crossed for everyone that HAS ordered though!

Sorry for the bitterness. That had me in a real bad mood. I just kind of have the "Get a partial refund and have it customized to your standards down the road" mindset for every piece now regardless of company.

Queen and Infinity seem to be the best at the moment, though the Thanos skin color issue and the oversized Batfleck eyeballs have me worried. I know they went back and redid them, and that is amazing, so there's hope for their future.

I think ECC is a company that hasn't had a failure yet. Can you imagine if they got the Alien/Predator licenses?

That would make my year if ECC got predator and Alien...Still hoping for Bram Stokers Dracula by ECC.

That's another one. I've seen some bat form & werewolf form Dracula customs I plan on acquiring in the future.

Once I move into a new place I'd like to commission a lot of custom projects. Willing to pay lots for them as long as I have final say in the outcome. That way I can overcome the BS with these companies and get my perfect, dream collectibles.

Collecting is fun but I do want to come to a conclusion at some point and consider my collections complete.

Yeah there is an amazing Daran Holt Bram Stokers Dracula bust that i love but it doesn't ship to Australia...Seen some other really cool pieces other collectors had made which I'd also love ...Agreed I've nearly got too many collectibles as is so it's either sell some which aren't as special too me or stop at some point or just make another room haha...If some of these companies don't lift their game with the final product it's going to make it really easy not to fork out huge amounts of cash.
