Prime 1: Predator - Jungle Hunter 1:3

[clutch]

The double posting seems to be an issue for everyone. I wonder if it is when you post from your phone?

Again, this might be overkill since the piece is already incredible, but I think to properly display the predator with his mask off, his gauntlet should be damaged.

This is also actually important to the story since due to the damage his gauntlet sustains, the Predator is no longer able to use camouflage. If it is an easy thing to add to the already amazing piece (which I already preordered) I think it would be a welcome addition by Prime 1. What do y'all think?

Yes.

Any word on closed mouth bust preorder date and if you ordered through prime 1 you can get a discount like the body for 1/4?

Just from my own experience replying by 1st hitting the Go Advanced button SEEMS to lessen the effect by my own anecdotal evidence.

Hey buddy, instead of requesting extra off the wall thing's like this, you should be driving home the importance of a really nice paint job instead. (everyone) I rather have them concentrate their efforts now going forth on achieving a realistic movie accurate paint job, on the flesh particularly. (wet look, spots etc.) That's what will make this Pred statue be a must have grail and really shine.

All the extra bells & whistles that aren't important at this point in time in production, will only reduce the paint job hours & expenses that are imperative. A lot of the extra swap outs are really not even too necessary anyways. Trust me...

Nothing yet. They didn't ever released any promo prototype pics

This. The finish on a statue, the raw quality, is what you'll notice first. You can tell yourself the cannon is in the correct position and run your fingers along the helmet to feel the smoothed surface, but it's all for naught if the piece reads like an oversized NECA figure from across the room.

We tend to focus on accuracy when judging prototypes because we take their perfect quality for granted -- and that quality is actually the hardest thing for a factory to replicate. Your priorities shift when the thing arrives at your house and all it needs to do is look good enough to justify the freshly-carved $3K hole in your bank account.
