The statue itself should be here in 4 weeks tops they said. Can?t wait.
You'll have to let us know what the family thinks of the full statue! That'll surely be a conversation starter.

Hi all,

I would appreciate your opinions on whether or not I should get a replacement head. I originally received my bust in February and the item arrived with a chipped tooth as well as other issues which were repairable. I contact P1 who informed me that a replacement piece would take around 12 weeks. I have since got someone to repaint the issues and the tooth.
My dilemma is do I destroy the original bust and take the risk the replacement may arrive in worse condition.

I have attached photos of the original damaged tooth and the repair. Please can I have your thoughts

I wouldn’t bother with small stuff like that. Fix it and repaint it. If something is easy to repair and you have painting skills : don’t ask for replacement. Remlacement may arrived in even worse condition

Thanks for your thoughts. The last picture in the post shows where the tooth has been gently sanded and repaired. I am really conscious the replacement could arrive with worse damage.

Glanced at the pics and couldn't tell but I'm sure you can.

All that matters is if you are happy.

My only complaint with this bust is that skin is supposed to be more white in certain areas but it’s not and hit has this tint to it. That’s about it.

According to Steve Wang Predator's skin color was based on ripe banana color.

Yeah maybe it?s those Scott marshal masks that gave me that impression.

The thing is life like. I?ve got it facing me as I lay in my recliner sofa in dim light and it looks alive. Just sneering at me with that disgusting look and contempt for humanity on his face.

One ugly muthafuc@#%. Lol.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Every time I look at him I'm like : Holy ----! That's damn amazing sculpture.

Every repaint is based on screen caps, photos of the set pieces etc. But non of the artists haven't seen original screen used Predator suit in real life. That's why his skin color on these busts, full scale replicas etc is always an artistic interpretation. Don't forget that movie was color graded. etc. Photos from the set were shot on a specific film roll then scanned and uploaded on internet. All of this is altering real color look.
