That's a real shame, I hope they can achieve it with photos and other resources.

Even though I don't think there would be any comparison at all between the final products, I think this pose is too similar to Sideshow's City Hunter. This one would be larger, and most likely of much higher quality, but still, why not start with something a bit more original?

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

My thoughts too.

The Sideshow/SWS 1:4 Jungle Hunter maquette pose worked OK and that wasn't a movie still.

There have been so many awesome poses in kits, prepaints, comics and fan art that it would seem a shame to use this large-scale opportunity to deliver a relatively boring pose.

Time for something different after all these years.

I don't know, the new SSC P1 is almost exactly the same pose as the CM and nobody seemed to notice. The P2 maquette from Sideshow has a walking movement, it was actually really nice imo. If you're going museum pose like Prime 1 often do, there's only so much you can do. I'm not campaigning for the above by the way, I said myself there are better options. I just think that is likely what we'll end up seeing. I don't necessarily want a screen accurate pose, I'd be more than happy with a totally made up pose so long as it's natural an suits the character. But at this kind of size, it doesn't want to be too dynamic. I guess we'll find out in time.

Honestly don't see the similarity between the CM P1 and the latest one - maybe I misunderstood what you meant

I actually really like the pose of the new Sideshow P1 - but given its many sculpting/art-direction mistakes it was an easy pass - and money was saved for XM + CoolProps + Prime 1 stuff so it's all good

Cross-posting from the other forum (sorry )

With a decent art director, this P2 doesn't have to be a copy of a commonly shared movie pic OR any still from the movie.

Off the top of my head, adaptations from any these would be much more preferable to me:
  1. The spear stab in the penthouse.
  2. Any of the kills from the penthouse for that matter.
  3. King Willie death blow from alleyway.
  4. Skull-cleaning next to the ships trophy case.
  5. Scaling the wall.
  6. The spear swings from the abattoire.
  7. The gautlet adjust from the abattoire.
  8. The smartdisc throw from the abattoire.
  9. The gun smash from the abattoire.

There have also been some great inspired/implied poses released as prepaints (that Kotobukiya piece springs to mind) as well as Garage kits (Hayes' holding the disc for example . . . )

I would love to see an exclusive with the City Hunter holding King Willie's head, if feasible of course. I thought that moment was very iconic in the film.

That WOULD be cool.

Do Prime 1 do "exclusives" or just a standard release?
