Wow I was giving you the benefit of doubt before but you really are that dumb. Ok I'll try and explain as if to a child, when you see a predator in any of the films stood next to a human they look a lot bigger right? Kind of like a 7' 6" creature stood next to a average human (which is the height they what them to look). When you see Keaton and Downey on screen they make them look bigger (like they do with tom cruise) than they actually are so they're portraying the actors to be........can you guess........yeah that's right taller!

Sometimes it just depends on the woman, it varies but really great doctors can minimize the chances of a really bad scar.

Besides the price point on this statue, the only other thing that is bothering me is the lack of the damn simple light on the mask, everything else looks great though.

Riiiight so his height had nothing to do with it, like all the other predator actors in the film they all just happened to be really tall?
Well it a good job warwick Davies wasn't working there huh?

Do people really not care about where their money goes?
Apple and for that matter Sideshow, can charge whatever they want because they are private enterprises and because there fundamental reason for being is to make money.

I agree that classifying this as an LSF has been both misleading and confusing for forum members, and Sideshow should slap whatever marketing genius came up with that idea. Other than that, they can charge what they like no matter what the scale. And if it doesn't sell, then clearly they have priced it incorrectly. But if it does sell (whether some of us here think it's overpriced or not) then they have priced it correctly. For every 'one' person on SF that's said "it's overpriced and I'm not happy about the scale" there may be another ten people out there that don't care about the scale or the price, and intend to buy it. That doesn't make them ignorant or careless with their money though.
