Yeah a bust of Grommash would be awesome though I'd still like some Predator busts.

Wang said he was done with Predator a long time ago. I'm sure because it's a been there, done that sort of deal.

there's enough of it out there for sure. The sideshow one is from the original molds. you don't need more than that one. and then there are tons of customs.

Maybe I figured it was just to sell more of the Cinemaquette but could have left some wiggle room to do a bust. Yeah I get his Medusa and Cyclops and Aliens are cool pieces but they don't scream gotta have it aesthetics nor do they have any pedigree or recognition to justify the investment.

The Sideshow one is only from the molds for the face though isn't it? I'd like a balls to the wall Predator bust that actually looks like a Predator. I know I'm not as Pred educated but I haven't seen any customs make the cut either. Even though it's nigh despised Prime1's is the best one I've seen released and it looks like plastic. Everyone cuts corners with the dreads and paint app.

Like George from CM, I'm sure he is just making things he wants to do with little disregard for how many units it may or may not sell. He has emphasized wanting to make characters that haven't been done that much.

Have you seen the Pred bust in person? I don't think ECC could do much better, if at all compared to with what SS did with that bust. Most pics I have seen of it are awful. It looks pretty real to me for a non custom painted bust. A lot of people complain about the sculpted dreads, but I would rather have this then have to individually place like 50 sculpted dreads. I think the SS Wolf Pred dreads were awful to deal with when I had that.

Yeah I get that sculptors just wanna do what they want to do.
I love Tsume's despite the accuracy but have no faith whatever will be delivered will look like that.

Never seen Sideshow's in person. I agree about the pics though.

Hmm I'd love to see this in a cooler light to see if the colors pop the same as the ad pics.
