That’s what I like the most about this version. It now has a great combination of a ‘real’ creature and the original suit qualities. For me that is exactly what I am looking for in my collection.

The more i look, the more i prefer the pose with some movement.
I still can't work out if the piece is green or black with green lighting, as some photo's show a black piece and other photo's show a green piece.

Green light is on it.

That said, If I were going to buy the standing one, the coolprops is still available and more accurate. It's just a shame they don't have Prime 1's quality of production...

can you point out to us what part of the prime1 sculpt/paint that is not accurate?

• Neck area just above center of ribcage
• Shape and angle of shoulder ridges
• Shape of the shoulders themselves
• Wrist cuffs (used in the movie, but not found on the current display suit; this one's a matter of preference)
• Upper arms and forearms are slimmed down on P1
• Shape of hands; original suit hands are floppier
• Shape of bottom of ribcage
• Some of the details on the obliques are simply wrong/fabricated
• Shape of hips (original suit has more rounded hips)
• Knees must face slightly inward for an almost knobby look
• Extra detail and definition on P1 legs and arms that isn't there on film suit (look just above the knees, the bend in the arms, the details in the abdomen; these areas aren't as defined on the suit)
• Excessive micro paint mottling and spotting on P1, paintjob is softer on original suit

It's still damn good, just idealized. My biggest personal gripes are the shoulder ridges and hips.

You know what Prime1 version is creature version not replica of the suit? Seems you didnt check Prime1 comments and artist intention.

Photo you show from prime1 distortion focus lens.

The version with the action pose would look good with the teeth sticking out. Are there plans for a teeth swap-out? ..as a whole portrait swap-out would hike the price.

"Creature accuracy" isn't a thing. The creature on screen was created using a combination of suit and animatronics. So on some level, screen accuracy is also suit accuracy. Now, I never saw much color on the screen, so perhaps you'd prefer Prime 1's statue to be completely black?

This statue is idealized and that's fine. I was simply responding to another person who asked which details were inaccurate. Take it up with them. The new Big Game/Jungle Hunter Predator isn't completely accurate and I actually prefer it to the original.

PS: Lens distortion doesn't add sculpt details that weren't there before. Even in this image, I can see the inaccuracies.

I have both mamegyorai and coolprops both has a lot problem is not even perfectly accurate to be honest. Extremely dissapointed with those statues.Muddy sculpt,paint and leaning issue with mamegyorai version.When i saw this one at Prime1 is perfect and this is paint by factory worker which will do also mass production. What you see what you get. Like the Dog alien.
