That's lit, very nice of her. My misses says the pred just looks to real, organic and ugly af, gives her the creeps. I can't even put on the unmask portrait when she's home lol. She said why can't it look more metallic, like the terminator

If prime 1 release a 1/3 alien bust, I'll be sneaking in a buy without her knowing

When I inevitably have to move this sucker, I'm leaving the legs inserted into the base. Those two pieces will be custom packed with all the bubble wrap in the world. The rest of the statue should be fairly manageable using the original boxes.

Is this confirmed? Might put me over the edge. I really loved the sculpt of the original, was just too big for my space at the time and I couldn't get over the wall.

I can tell already, I'll be leaving his legs into the base too. Luckily I can handle lifting the weight. I couldn't get my action posed Big Chap statue to key into the base & had to sand down the peg hole. It only went in halfway and got stuck. I had to pull up on the Alien and the base wouldn't let go. I'm lucky I didn't break his foot off. Definitely sounds like a risk with this one .

I think base and legs would be about 25kgs or so. The base has quite a bit of weight to it.

Yeah so around 55 lbs. which is a good weight for a base + legs of this size & quality. The heavier the better imo. If it's super light, then it's a cheap eggshell. It's a good thing I can still bench 180 lbs. Lol

Hahaha us collectors are surprisingly fit bunch, esp hardcore pred fans

The entire statue when fully mounted, excluding extra head stand, second portrait, extra blades, hands I reckon is about 42kgs or 92lbs, so yeah, pretty darn buff and solid piece. Think shockwave could still be a little heavier or maybe not, anyone here know how heavy shockwave is?

That shouldn't be difficult for a man of your status.
