Well on the bright side for you, keep in mind they reissued this guy, which sucks for me....but good for you. You can probably score one in a year or two for a reasonable deal. Plus the bust's base is more stable. Put it on your watchlist.

My Bust just shipped. Tracking says it will be here tomorrow?!

Edit: Shipped on 7th, not bad but it did cost $211!

So how much would the semi open mouth portrait be worth to somebody along with the bust torso and medi kit? What would be a fair price?

A fair price is $1500. Everything more than that is scalping.

My LE Bust cost GBP1,200, roughly $1,500.

More than I paid for the CM Predator, although that was many years ago.

Yeah, $1500 was about what I was thinking.

Well, I?ll be selling the semi open mouth unmasked portrait as soon as it arrives. For anyone who?s interested, along with the bust torso and medi kit.


I just want the unmasked closed mouth head.

Just opened mine and it's bloody awesome!

Way overpriced but we all knew that anyway...

#100 signing in. This thing is the balls.

I had no choice but to hit mine with a blow-dryer on account of one dread being bent inward during shipping. A couple of the backpack wires also came unglued, they're either resin or hard plastic so not much give. Backpack is a touch loose, I've heard a few others report the same thing. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with this. Alien and Predator fans are breathing rare air these days.

Very excited for the City Hunter bust -- and even more gutted that Berserker's not getting one. This is such a great format for these characters. Johnny Matsumoto said they're planning full Alien statues in this scale and I can't help but wonder what the head stand/bust situation will be for those (or will Prime 1 simply make interchangeable mouths/faces and risk seams?)

The portrait here is admittedly quite large, but surprisingly it hasn't made me dread receiving the full statue. Though I'm quite aware of how massive it will be (I'll have to rent a truck to pick it up), it promises to be so well-done that I can't help but think "bring it on." If these are the only collectibles I'm left with in the end, so be it. They're that good.
