Ok so there is quite some time between a product reveal and when it is released.

At least there is plenty of time to save up for it.

I couldn't find a decent image of the bust so I had to piece meal this from one of Sideshow's videos.

This looks quite nice, only thing I hate is the scribe lines round the tattoos and the base looks very amateurish like it was knocked together last minute

The original predator bust and the arnie t-850 bust both had acrylic eyes (though the arnie one is low quality)

The base is same design they’ve been using for new Star Wars busts Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, and Kylo.

I’ve not followed Sideshow stuff for awhile tbh, the base design is awful imo though

I really like it actually. The classic Star Wars windows on the front and the angular design helps to tie everything together.

I agree. I actually like this and Kylo otherwise.

I've said before, it looks like a PC monitor base. Alternately, it looks like he's about to sprout his spider legs, not unlike The Thing.

The bigger issue to me is the arm elevating it. The base design is evocative of Star Wars visuals, yes, but if they only cut out that arm, it would instantly look better imo.

At new price I would like life size busts to include the top portion of chest and shoulder. Keep the collection consistent.

The new busts in my opinion are a significant improvement to the previous iterations, at least from what I've seen of Boba and Maul.

I really disliked the mixed media and teeth on the first Maul bust. I could never pull the trigger on that one. This one is a no brainer for me.
