Placing them next to the CM version will make it clear. Although it will also look odd having 2 nearly-identical poses on nearly identical bases!

Your statue became obsolete even before you had it in hand The statue you bought Prime 1 used as a test run for this masterpiece
This piece is phenomenal. The proportions are fantastic. The attention to detail is second to none. The head, arms, legs, waist, pose, base...they’re all perfect. It’s the greatest movie statue ever made.
I and MANY others have our DXS on order, do you?

I must admit I am always baffled by the need to rear down another piece to prop up the other.
This 1/3 scale Pred is a fans wet dream.. Why not just be happy for them?
I am one "Hey dad I would love to have that" from my son and I would get this in a sec. lol... I cant justify it for myself. But I could if I gave it as a gift to my kid who loves the movie more than I do. All these switch outs are amazing. The detail looks great. Its not perfect to my eyes but its damn close and looks like so much fun to switch out parts.
I also dont agree with the 1/4, the CM, or the SW maquette becoming obsolete.
The CM has always been its own "Predator" Its never been movie based. So IMO it was never in the running as the best "Film accurate" Predator. It was just a great Predator and still is.
The P1 1/4 scale has a pose that, IMO, makes it stand out as something special compared to all the other statues out there. It just Drips Kevin Peter Hall. It feels like the predator. It has life. Plus its damn close to film accurate for a 1/4 scale.
The SW maquette my be the closest to obsolete. BUT I just have never been a fan.
Having said all that. If I was a Predator fan that demanded accuracy down to the smallest detail. Well its not even a competition. 1/3 scale version wins. As it should at that price and size.
Like I have said I love that Predator fans are getting this. Maybe now they can keep quiet about all the less then accurate statues out there lol
But its great to have options. If you cant afford the 1/3, you got the1/4. If you don't care for one you have the other.
Life is good for the Pred fan.
