I still can't see any difference in the head debate. I'm buying for sure. I won't fall for missing this one since I missed all the last 3. This one will not get away. Looks amazing! Now the price and Es please!

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

Sculpting Preds WELL is not easy - we all know that.

The combination of artistic skill & eye for detail required makes them very demanding.

That's why Narin, Hayes and Takeya are so admired.

But given how expensive these pieces are, you would hope that enough time & effort would be put in up-front AND during the QC stage so that OBVIOUS faults would be avoided or corrected.

This is looking better than the P2 maquette debacle, and if the unmasked head is the right scale AND that thigh armour is fixed, this may still be acceptable to most of us.

We'll have to wait and see.

Don't forget this was being tagged as 1:3 or 1:2, by some, because the unmasked portrait looked so big in the OP.

But even if this was true - if it was "perspective" on the front-facing shots causing it, why would that affect side shots?

Again - sincere questions.

Sorry, had to run some errands. Camera lens translate and process images differently then the human eye does. Shadows, lighting, and angles can effect how a piece looks through the lens when compared to the human eye. Different types of lenses also effect how a piece looks. All that plays into why the head still looks overly big from the side view.

Agree with what's being said....head being too big, right leg armour is way off.....



This angle looks great though....i'm keeping the faith lol.

Hoping after SDCC Mr Igo can chime in and tell us if were wrong or right

The piece pretty darn good in that pic. Head looks about right to me there.

I'm totally staying out of this thread until this thing ships. Predator collectors are the craziest in the hobby for sure.

When paying double demand perfection

Correct proportions for those that think the original Bio was huge...

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I think swamp gas reflecting off of Jupiter and the high tide in the Atlantic is causing cameras to pic up a false bio size dimension.
