Looks like a bull dog.

Yeah, the more I look, the more I appreciate the P1 version more than this one. It's not perfect, but it's the one I'll be going for. The bio on the Infinity version is a sticking point for me which may be affecting my opinion of the statue over all however. For the sake of time, I'll just copy my post from the other forum which was in reply to a comment about Infinities P2 being superior in every way to Prime's....
"Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike this statue by any means, in fact I'll grab one happily in the unlikely event that it can be easily secured for a decent price. But I have to disagree with your opinion that the Infinity version is better in every regard. The mask on the prime 1 statue is far from perfect (I pointed out areas it could be bettered in the relevant thread) But it's much better than Infinities attempt. The more I look at Infinities, the more disappointing it is to me. It's small, scrunched up and misses a few key shapes which the Prime 1 mask managed better. Everybody misses the mark on the P2 hero mask but I really expected much better from this company. Pose wise Prime 1's is perfectly fitting for the character, fairly iconic and will likely be more appealing to the masses. But I quite like that this one engages the imagination and shows off our boy at a time we never saw him on screen, so I'd say the poses are both pretty good. There isn't much in the unmasked head tbh although I think Prime 1's is painted a bit better. So both are fine statues, I really liked the look of this when it was unpainted and before we saw the bio. I'm a little underwhelmed now it's finished. But it's still leagues above Sideshows attempt and I'm sure it'll make a fine statue in any fans collection, I just wish they would tweak that mask.
Fortunately there is no right or wrong answer as to which one is better. Just our own opinions to ourselves. Ultimately whichever one we each favor (It's the P1 for me) it's great that we have a choice between two high end and impressive Predator 2 statues.
Here's a few side by side images."
