Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I'd really like a Predator on Throne, but there are elements to the XM piece that isn't doing it for me. The colors and details are there, but I don't like the pose, the chair looks plain, and this predator doesn't look too intimidating that he should be sitting there.

Recent pics showed the left hand holding a skull. I'm not a big fan of how his right leg is positioned but I'm holding out hope that the full reveal will interest me. Hopefully sometime soon.

Just looked through the website and here and am realizing there’s a lot they are offering in the way of previews etc that I’m not seeing. Can someone give me a heads up on how I can stay on top of these previews so when pre orders go up o don’t miss out on allotment pieces. Thanks!

It's up on Spec fiction for $1750. I really like it but probably won't be getting it for what it'll cost to get it to the UK and through customs etc.

Also would like an unsmasked portrait
100% agree. This was my first though also; the skull with spine on the armrests should be 'bone white' and not dull grey.
Also the lower part to the side of chair looks a bit rough to me.

Don't know but should the monster on the floor not have some pieces of flesh and blood (fresh kill). And the teeth should not have same color than the skull/bones.
Nice statue, but for the price have to think about it.
Edit, for europe price is to steep.
And why do they already create confusion about size, calling it 1/3 on the banner and Supreme Scale (none scale) on the actual webpage.

Can someone else also do the scale calculation, 80cm compared to his upperbody, to me looks close to 1/4.
Acc wiki large preds around 8-feet, so 243cm. This statue x4 is around 254cm (8.3feet). When this is the King, I would say 1/4. Correct me if im wrong.

True its more 1/4 than 1/3 in my opinion aswell.......yeah I dont know what to do about this one...the skull color and all that...dont think there will be any changes sadly...plus no unsmaked is just weird and sad...

Im in Europe aswell, price is very high, I didnt go with the Prime1s Predators...yeah have to think about it.

Already know I would display it with the "sword", love that right arm pose, looks relaxed and badass with it

Paint scheme should be awesome from start, to much trouble to redo parts afterwards.
Yes the sword and skull-hand would be my choice too.
The closed fist does not add much.

I did PO Prime1 BG Predator1 and just decided to ordered the Pred2,
bcs news from Infinity Studios about Pred1 (tree) just takes too long. They don't answer questions.

I don't mind the silver skull, It just looks like it's a metallic part of the throne to me. I think I like pretty much everything about the actual statue. The only thing I don't like is the price which is the only reason I likely won't be getting it as much as I'd like to.

Oh and the none specific scale, don't like that one bit and I hope they stop it immediately. It's bad enough that Prime 1 have done a few none scale Predators lately. That seems to be down to licensing issues however, I'm not sure XM have that problem so it seems unnecessary here. Just make it 1/4 or 1/3 and remove any frustrating confusion as to whether it will fit in to our existing collections.
