I'm not so sure on the comparison with Ecc busts, the only one of their busts which is head and shoulders above this one is Rosenberg imo (but that's better than anything I've ever seen). It at least looks to be the equal of (if not slightly better than) the p1 bust which is the most important comparison as it makes them great display companions

Agreed. Of course if it's defected send it back and get a replacement. For that amount of money everyone deserves a mint product.

That's really bad QC on yours Azure, sorry to see. I'd love ECC to do a few Predator busts also, I think they are my favorite company for monsters and creatures.

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

Not a decal.

CoolProps turned down the offer from Sideshow's team of 6-year-olds and used painters instead

Not sure, I want to see what the OG Bust is going to look like.

Rosenburg isn't a fair comparison cause he's over $2k. Comparing it to my ECC Guyver and Lycan, I don't think it's a better crafted piece. I expected much better QC from such a small company like Cool Props.

Compared to ECC busts at the same price, it's not a fair fight.



I think if you return this piece you should be force to change your screen name.

Really, you are really going to return this piece?!!!? As a predAtor super fan!???! Over a paint bubble!??!

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Not return, but come on that's more then a bubble and is not cool especially to a predator fan

I'm just poking fun. He's a serious collector and a big predator fan. For me this is a dream piece is would take a broken jaw for me to send this back.

After years in the hobby I've become extremely tolerant over these collectibles and the QC, they are hand made nothing is perfect. When I would in on a piece I would look for flaws with a magnifying glass, because I demanded perfection everytime.

Funny thing is if we would post a zoomed in shot of our face we would see a lot of flaws as well...I think it's a
Funny concept but our collectibles have to be flawless and perfect.

But of it really bothers h send it back and move on. Not worth the aggravation.
