Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Will be even more noticeable on the Jungle Hunter since that one slightly larger than 1/4, but at least they're not using plastic.

The netting is certainly thicker than ideal. But this is a comic Predator so I guess they can do as they wish. I would hope that they will find a better material to use on the Jungle and City hunters however as this won't look right at all on those. It looks really good otherwise imo, although I still really dislike the unmasked face on this in both paint and sculpt.

Wow im pretty shocked, that looks bad.
Spoiler
Just Toylike, no details. Straight forward bland paintjob, not acceptable for this kind of money.

And look how the heads are in the box, normally a large hole around the hairdo is good, but here the head part is loose in the styro also. Meaning when the box is turned during shipping, heads will bounce and rest on its protrusions and damage..or it must be 1400$ of superduper Masterline plastics.

If the P1 BG Cover art predator comes looking close to this junk, my stomach will turn.

Im really into this piece, but i need to see more in hand pics/videos.
The unboxing looked a little fake to me, like it was opened before and put back for filming.
But you are absolutely right, for $1400 or €1700 ex in Europe it should be top-notch.
I trust that Prime 1 will deliver a quality product.

That was my uncontrolled first reaction.
I put a spoiler tag on it, bcs don't want to diss other ppl exitement when already bought. And yes I know color resolution of phone vid is not perfect. But overall resolution is sharp enough to see what you can expect.

RE: But i don't think it is faked unboxing video (no.35 on bottom is only covered at end of vid).
Imo the holes in styro for the heads are really large and a strange shape is chosen. One head is already turned and shifted with dreads between the two halfs, they don't do that on purpose (and it is a store promo vid).

I also noticed that some parts are missing compared to the prototype. Like the 2nd hose on the back that should connect the weapon to the left forearm. Also the skulls are missing on his chest.
Maybe they forgot to put them on. Will see...
Again, need more pics.

We need good quality photos and videos... but this does not look promising. I already paid for the city and jungle hunter, also for the endoskeleton and it makes me worried. P1,'s quality is getting worse and worse. They are way over their head. This is what happens when you put up way too many preorderes... they just cannot keep up with them so therefore they are rushing them out. For this amount of money this is unacceptable.

What in the world is going on!? Why is this predator wearing lingerie!? No jokes, it literally looks like it. Surely this isn’t a finished Prime 1 product? If so, I hope Prime 1 isn’t turning into SS...
