PRIME 1 STUDIOS - JUNGLE HUNTER

[Blade3327]

Still a ways out, could get delayed again, and I'm betting it's the most popular of their Predator statues so they're not in a rush to pressure fence sitters with an ES yet.

Yea, there's definitely going to be a lot of eyeballs on this guy when he starts shipping, to seal the deal if it's the definitive best JH statue to date. The other ones they've made are more obscure & didn't get the proper time & love, but I bet they know the pressures on with this guy, so they have to nail it!

I think it will ship this year, but late 4th quarter and I'm personally good with that. (Patience is a Virtue)

I am really curious to see if this Predator from Prime1Studio can defeat the almighty Cinemaquette 1/3 Predator.

I currently own the Cinemaquette 1/3 Predator, I absolutely love it but I only have room for 1 Predator in my collection. My collection consists mainly of 1/3 scale Prime1Studio statue's. I absolutely love this new Jungle Predator from Prime1Studio, and I am almost sure it will have more detail then the Cinemaquette Predator.

The biggest problem I have is with the scale, I am scarred that the Prime1Studio 1/4 Jungle Predator will be dwarfed when it is standing next to my other 1/3 scale statue's.....

Any advice or ideas are very very welcome!

First I’ll address scale. I don’t think this will be dwarfed by 1/3 scale statues. He seems to be larger than 1/4 scale, appears 1/3.5 scale in that range. He’ll be smaller but he won’t horribly undersized.

Onto the Prime 1 vs CM question. As of right now even with all of the display options this piece isn’t as special as the CM. The CM has PERFECT proportions and a classic, straight forward museum pose, which sadly these days is an anomaly. The CM’s pose is completely unobstructed perfectly showing off the Predator in his true 1/3
Scale glory. I think the detail on the head sculpt is a little dated but still aside from the Sideshow EX Maquette, I wouldn’t trade it for any other Predator statue.

The detail, finishing and display options on this piece are off the charts. The head and bio sculpts looks great but I really am not a fan of the one-leg-up crouching pose that conceals a good portion of the body. For me, this is the major detractor of this piece and the Prime reason (get it?) why I didn’t order. I can compare this to the first Batman Hush piece. Amazing sculpt and all that but the crouching pose just didn’t WOW me. Now the Batcave Version standing straight upward is just what the doctor ordered. For the most part I just like simple poses. Sadly there aren’t many statues these days like the CM Predator in a neutral museum-style pose.

In all fairness, the Prime 1 Jungle Hunter statue had to be in this pose or it wouldn't exist. Would you rather have it not be made at all over the crouching pose you don't like?

100%
This are my thoughts also.

I like this pose/composition a lot.
Makes him more menacing, with focus on his big arms/hands and head.

Don't have the CM, nice it is 1/3. But i never really liked his face when looking straight at it (hres pics).

Really..really hope this Prime1 will arrive at all our doorsteps looking like the proto.
For me, Ultimate centerpiece.


Maybe one of the companies can make a new dutch 1/4 when he is laying down in front of a (mud&rocks) ridge and overhanging tree branch with the pointy sticks trap.

I haven’t been following this thread. Did it have to be in this pose due to the “Big Game“ comic it’s also representing? If yes that’s interesting. Absolutely I’m happy to see it was made, 100%. It’s a beautiful piece, no two ways about it.
