These busts look detailed but they are over priced imo for what you are getting in return.

I'd take this piece any day over the alien king piece. that's like the alien pile statue.

I have to agree that I'm curious on the edition sizes on these pieces. Japan's Blue Warrior and Dog were extremly limited. I have to believe that the same will be said for the US versions.

However, CoolProps Predator masks that have already been released don't appear to have edition sizes listed on the Sideshow site. Open editions?

I asked them twice on FB regarding the ES and so far they haven't responded back to me.

Hmmm...

Like I said, I have to imagine it will be a small run. Kinda like when (I'm going far back here) Sideshow released the Patient Zero PF. They had a super small run here in the U.S. then rereleased it as an "International Edition" and pumped a few more out.

P2 Bust has no ES so I'm guessing the, general release, Alien Busts won't either.

Hi mate, sorry, only just saw this. In terms of actual lips, yes although I think we may be referring to different things when we say lips (I'm thinking of soething you can pucker up haha) And no, I'm not saying the Sideshow 1:1 was inaccurate at all, it's great in fact. They made a lot of different versions of the Warrior for the movie, suits, puppets, animatronics etc. And they varied in their appearance somewhat. None of them had actual lips, but the tendons and structure of the mouth area did vary quite a lot. The sideshow version almost stretches the tendons into a lip like structure that surrounds the mouth which is fine. I found at least one good example of this on a movie suit which I'll post below. However the majority of them had quite exposed mouths like that of the CP version. So both types are perfectly accurate compared to their screen used counterparts. I like them all but I do prefer this exposed look myself.

Thinking about it, the ones that feature more of a lip like structure (as with the SSC bust) May have had it added intentionally for exactly the reason you mentioned, pulling it back to reveal the teeth and create a bit of extra menace/tension. I can remember this happening a few times in the movie..

Exposed..






A clear surround..

the edition won't be too small if they leave it open for too long!

I just made this for the other forum, it seemed relevant to the discussion above, both are nice imo..
