I have never purchased anything directly from P1 website, do they charge more for shipping? Should I just order it through Sideshow when it is listed on there?
Shipping is $750 to the states for bother reg and ex

This seems like Sideshow's Berserker Predator to me that while it may be ridiculous in the movie as a statue piece it will command attention.

I'm glad they save open mandibles for a future bust hopefully a P1 or P2 Predator.

Anyhow, P1 nailed it again with total stunning craftsmanship. No lazy recast of so called original molds and or 3D scans.

And I hold my breath for a Jungle Hunter in same quality.
The armor is growing on me. I don't like it as much seeing the whole pred but the upper half is ok and I think the Bio is actually pretty bad ass. Im 50% in right now just wanna see the movie and if its at least decent I will bite.

Is it expected for Sideshow to get this?
$750 shipping isn't gonna cut it.

Yeah, the Bio has it´s own thing. I´m just not digging the breasts. The pattern on the armor is too similar to all DC (Supi and Batsy) designs and rest of armor has allot of Marvel vibe to it. Nothing wrong with that, but I´m a bit bored about how movie designs start to become similar in their design language. Since the first Iron Man movie, most armor design became a bit repetitive and the style interchangeable.

Might be our time and how design is received by the audience, and of course the original movies like Predator and for example Robocop had their design set in the 80´s and therefore a reason for their look.

Anyhow, let´s give the movie a chance as most likely Freagging Disney (*puke in mouth*) might tin that franchise as they will do with the NOT-FAMILY-FRIENDLY Xenos.

I hate that Prime1's first experience with selling a life size bust has to be from this particular movie. There's a lot riding on the movie and therefore reception of this thing could easily go south and spook them off from 1:1 busts altogether.

Prime1 has a ton of licenses I would love lifesize busts from including non realistic styles.

I was actually interested in this until I saw the uk price of £1830 (for the regular!) how the feck does $1600 (or £1255) move to £1830??
Oh well money saved.

This is their second life size bust. The first was the Alien from Independence Day Resurgence

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

I don't give a hoot about this movie if it's bad it's bad and that should not reflect on this bust
