SS did have some nice stuff, like the pred maquette is quite well done even in paint. I don't really like most of the rest though. The wolf bust is well done but the dreads are so freaking small. The p1 bust was pretty well done too

I must be some kind of masochist asking this, where can I see Infinity work? Thanks Python!

They made a few gems back in the day, but not much worth owning in the last 8+ years. Hopefully with the competition they do up their game to compete, but I would be surprised.

Only the masked head has been shown so far on this Prime 1 piece.

Agreed.

SS won't compete in this arena until they get new art direction. SS Art Direction is why every Predator has a leg up pose, and is almost intentionally inaccurate. They claimed to have a Pred "super fan" consulting on their City Hunter maquette, and it was still all kinds of wrong. They do not have an eye for the details, nor do they care.

The only one to compete with this line at this point is Infinity Studios.

Agree 100%.

They've had YEARS to get things right.

Don't have an art direction team working on a franchise if they have repeatedly proved they are incapable of producing.

Any other company would have given the boot to employees that consistently performed that badly.

The sad part is SS are capable of producing something brilliant, but it doesn’t happen very often theses days, last SS piece I bought was six years ago and I buy quite a lot ,i use to buy pretty much exclusively with SS, not anymore, I know where my money is going these days
