Why not do a decent Wolf or Berserker Statue? Assuming this is a statue?!...

Anyway I personally have no interest in adding a Sideshow inspired character to my collection.
My collection is 98% movie based.
Salty much? There's already a solid Wolf statue out there, and no one is forcing you to get this line lol. Besides as others have said there are plenty of predator movie statues, not everyones collection is movie based like yours.

Yup. Why lots of movies from that era are being 'remade'.

Lol, it's not that, the way your wrote that made it seem like it was a crime that they were doing their own design for the Predator. There's already plenty of movie designs out there, it's not going to kill you if this wasn't one of them.

This is a movie design anyway though, just didn't make it into the movie :P But this isn't SS' idea or imagination, it was one of thee concepts for the wolf.

Okay, Anyway....

I tend to focus on movie stuff also which is why as cool as both are, I have little interest in actually buying the King Alien, or XM's new Predator for instance at those kind of prices, not with the movie based Prime 1 stuff on the way.... HOWEVER. Let's be frank, Sideshows Predators have been missing the mark for years now, close but no cigar may be an apt analogy. But while they have struggled to replicate accurate Predators, they have been making some pretty damn awesome stuff from other licenses of late. If they can inject a bit of that love into a "mythos" Predator line and give us some freaking cool looking Predators without the worry of screen accuracy, presumably in 1/5 which would be ideal, and keep the prices in check. Well I'll probably bend my preference for movie based creatures. That kind of line has so much potential for awesomeness! I can think of dozens of statues I'd love to see, both Canon (with a few twists) and new designs.

But yeah, having looked into it more, this is an early wolf Concept hence the similarity of the damage, so maybe this is a concept wolf maquette?

Dunno, it's got bones, claws, etc going all throughout him it's far more detailed then the normal wolf. I think it's a bit beyond what SS can do. They didn't even put quills on the p2 ffs :|
