Incidentally, I'm not going to engage the back and fourth about this, but as someone that posted the comment about his stubbiness (I think the first to do so on this thread even?), and after just watching the movie the other night, the pic I used is the most extreme perfect angle/pose combination to make him look so thin. Just watching him in the movie, he doesn't really look like that. Do I think the statue could have used a little elongation? Sure. Is it a deal breaker? Not even close. Do I want CM sveltness.... no thanks. He still needs to look like a human could be inside there. At this point my biggest concern is still the excessive ripples in the skin. Here, I am putting my faith in P1 that they will change it for the better. |
I watched the first again in 3d and it’s a great way to get a feel for the Pred in the movie. He’s not THIN but he’s not stocky either.
And if you look at the most recent P1 pics including the latest 360° view, the P1 just reads much heftier and bulky instead of the agile & lean KPH aesthetic from the original.
Upon close examination the extremities are slightly shorter in the P1 piece and the torso is just not quite as lean.
Again, KPH’s Pred was by no means THIN, but he was nowhere near as hefty as this P1 version.
The reason I find the 1/3.5 version more accurate is that the pose hides some of this and moreover it adds an implied balance & agility that is simply nowhere to be found in the CM-esque pose in the 1/3 P1.
