This attitude is everywhere. Not just in the statue arena.
It appears it has arisen soon after the birth of the internet in online chat rooms.
Now it’s an endemic.

I mean, you reap what you sow. Just don't insult people for no reason and there is no problem.
Moving on...
I genuinely hope the unmasked sculpt is accurate as can be. I don't buy their excuse that the mask needs to be cratered for ease of painting. Plenty of other companies have made smooth predator bio-masks that have been painted well enough. Prime 1 is among the greatest out there. It shouldn't be a problem for them.

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

You're not wrong bud - on all points.
On it's own, delivering the mask that way wouldn't stop me buying, but it may if it's one of a number of OTHER silly decisions.

Hopefully you'll still get one. That image is just a bad choice for a backdrop display and not the actual Prime 1 statue.

If their previous reveal of the new Pred is any indication not sure how confident I would be saying that. I wasn't really impressed. It will have to go some to beat the OG SWS piece "by a landslide"

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

The problem for me with the OG SWS piece was the horrible pose. Killed my love for that piece. For me, the only older Predator piece that I still think looks great is the Cinemaquette.

I owned the Cinemaquette and it bugged the hell out me because the head was so inaccurate. The dome was so wrong, typical Steve Wang changing things up. The size of it was great but it just wasn’t accurate.
Easily prefer the original Sideshow version.
