Congrats mate! Nah can't go wrong with either, for some DX is a must due to features like the Gort mask for others like myself, happy with the Reg edition.

999 maybe revised, prime 1 in the past has increased as well as decreased ES numbers based on demand.

Separate question for all, did the CM predator ever sell to it's 500 ES?

Are you seriously asking for people what's their logic on paying an extra 20% for really not that much?

Honestly I won't even use the other hands, head, or the gort mask most likely so it's like paying 20% more to be able to put a bio mask on the base.

I was waiting for the price on this 1/3 to decide between the two and to me the 1/4 Scale JH will scratch my Predator itch just fine for almost half the price. I would have loved to have made this 1/3 my first Predator Statue but this price is too ridiculous for me to wrap my brain around .. Lol.

Yeah, all I really care about is the helmet on the base. Maybe the dog tags and Mac skull just to add a little something, but I'd easily take a trophy hand over those.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

If they add a closed mouth portrait, or at least the skull & spine trophy, I'll definitely order the DX in six months or so. I'm not in a hurry to PO this yet. It's not going anywhere.
Sounds like the closed mouth portrait is highly wanted so it would make sense as a bonus for the DX to sell more...It doesn't seem like a rush is on for the DX at least amongst the collectors here ...I'm a DX man myself ...Prob a good idea to start saving for shipping and import fees now lol...This is the best Predator I've seen at least the prototype fingers crossed they can get this close to the prototype upon release especially at the high price...I'd say we have at least two years until this releases.

Im getting the DX since im a Completionist. Love the DX unmasked sculpt and love the option to switch up the bios to differentiate this from other JH statues. Tye hands I do agree on, should have had a skull/spine in there

Cough …. Closed mouth …. Cough

Grats to all who have POed already
