When I buy something lifesize I want the full illusion not some space saving cost cutting measures.

Nah iirc the entire bust is the mold, and those are production dreads and they look like ---- :P

This has caused a bit of confusion - but you are correct.

The dreds were NOT taken from original molds - but were cobbled together in-house by CoolProps.

THIS sculpt (the male "Kagero") is 100% new by Aki (well - new as of about a year ago anyways)

IMO - this is the best Predator collectible put up for pre-order in the last 3 years (since their Predator 2 1:1 bust).

I agree. Although a bit more expensive one would wanna spend on a character hasn’t even been in a film.

As far as looks appeal I like this Predator better but for nearly the same money Prime1's Fugitive Predator bust is better as a collectible to buy.

Way more chest and not just a head on a cut stump. Lot more faith in P1 as well.

Really? I thought they were part of the original molds and that's why they didn't want to fix them.

Seriously why would you leave them like that if not, even without making them perfect putting in minimal effort so smooth them would have been 100x better.
