Is that Arthas? Why is he without his head?

The regular is a fair whack cheaper if you don't want all of the switch outs (I wanted the Guardian mask) Having this in hand almost convinced me to cancel the 1/3 as the 1/4 is plenty good enough to be a centrepiece in its own right. The fact that the 1/3 has turned out at almost proto quality is the only reason I'm planning to keep my order for it. If the 1/4 had the updated movie mask, it'd be almost perfect itself.

I never really did - I'm just not a big fan of the pose.

Big Game Cover Art Predator is amazing. I collect 1/4 and it is really one of the best classic predators ever made in my humble opinion....

Having said that, seeing how Jungle Hunter 1/3 paint job came out, it make BGCA Pred look 'meh" in comparison.

but considering I did not want to spend $3000 on the 1/3, I'm happy with the Big Game one because I think it is the second best...

Also they still said they?re expecting to get this in at the end of 22 as of last night. Really looking forward to this

SC did nix the free shipping for newer orders.

definitely nothing wrong with settling for that one. It's still really big, but much cheaper than this one. I am hoping this comes later than expected because I am not ready to make room for it.

Wow 1st time I've seen someone not into the pose other than it obscuring part of the Predator.

I fully believe time will be kinder to BGCA than even this one. This one's higher price tag and high total ES will always be a factor in it's ability to go higher. Hard to recover ~4k on a single piece even with all the heads and the surcharged extra bust. Plus the appreciation this one gets will rub off on BGCA and even people with the 1:3 will want another Pred hit.

Can't wait to see someone contrast the 2 of them.

I've said it before. I'm not into the pose. It only works with the victim companion piece IMO, so it looks like he's coming out from behind the body. Otherwise it just looks like a good quad stretch to me

Oh okay. Looks totally on brand for me.

This one is good but not the same level as the 1/3. The prime1 1/4 p2 city hunter is what i considered the best p2, it's really perfect in every way. We need something similar for p1. I think prime1 will make it, considering how many god damn version of optimus prime and batman they made.

per the posted dimensions, the 1/3 p1 boxes will be way bigger than that...
