I noticed that in some photos you can also see hair in the legs. Are they also present in the scenes shot for the movie?

Lmao every discussion on every thread you mention the same thing on every statue. Why pay thousands on powdered stone? It's just plastic, it's made from China, China stuff is cheap etc. I'm beginning to suspect you only target purchases of collectibles sub $1000 range (if even that). I've noticed you like to drop on different threads, by what you deem more 'expensive' pieces (like this) and sprout the same opinion over and over and over again. The common theme is your never ever interested in buying any of polystone pieces in the thousand dollar range and you always circle back to the same points over and over again.

Its getting really old mate, if I went to an art exhibition and kept telling everyone to not buy the paintings, because it's only paper and paint not worth hundreds and thousands. Then do the same thing at different art exhibition around the world and keep on repeating on how expensive art drawings are and it's just paint x50 plus different exhibitions around the world. Do you see how weird and salty this starts getting?

Some people have appreciation for art, some don't. Some have money, some don't. Your never interested in any polystone statues (unless you can buy ones like this for sub $100) so why do you even bother dropping your same 2 cents on every single 'expensive' collectible thread?

Btw these aren't investments for me (you seem to always tie these to investments, again bizarre), I consider them art work, once in my home, never back on the market for sale.

I'm still waiting as well. A 1/3 Keaton made with the same care as this Predator is my Grail.

That's the biggest thing keeping me from taking a gamble on this piece; it being made from nothing but brittle polyester and stone powder. If I don't think it's worth the money then I'm risking it not breaking in transit just to sell it at a loss and the risk if it does break being left with something utterly worthless.

For less than an extra $100 per statue this could be cast from FAR stronger resins and for $200 resin so strong you could bang it against a wall without it even chipping. Instead it will be made so fragile that some will snap in transit under their own weight.
Which Prime 1 statues do you have that are light and brittle?

Their statues are nice and heavy weight solid! It's not like Sideshow with their hollow egg shell statues!

For example, I had to force the leg of my Scorpion Alien in it's tight peg hole, lol... and the leg felt like a crow bar! I was worried at 1st I could accidentally break it off, but they're not cheap brittle polystone resin. Not the ones I got at least.
