I'm sure it won't, hopefully you'll be rewarded for being the forum Guinea pig.

This seemed the more likely case from the beginning. For Alien and Predator, Sideshow produces their own 1/4 maquettes and already distribute 1/3 stuff from CoolProps. They've had no problem carrying comic-based merchandise, but consistently demonstrated they don't want any of Prime 1's film products apart from the Queen. Either they don't think that particular Queen would eat into sales of their own (she's quite a bit bigger than theirs) or she doesn't break any existing license/scale restrictions.

They are offering the 1/4 Fugitive Predator also. This is why it's so strange, there doesn't seem to be any pattern other than Sideshow aren't offering the two Predators that you would expect to be the most popular. I guess we'll never know why. If they are making their own comparable products, then that's understandable. But they will have to very much up their game to better Prime 1's.

Oh man, first of all good luck, I will keep my order on hold, especially considering what they written to me (hopefully it is the truth about EU shipping) anyway please post pics as soon as you can
I was in the P1 shop of Tokyo at day one, during the preorder. it was my Japan trip gift for my 40th birthday in 2019... and I don’t want to drop this order unless the paint job will be terrible

I think I know why... (Key Word = Think)? The present day pattern looks to me like the Prime 1 statues that need help being sold, wind-up on Sideshows site. The one's that don't... don't.
The Fugitive Predator, while being a movie licensed Predator, is not flying off the shelves & they anticipated that from the beginning. I bought both Prime 1's Jungle & City Hunters & wouldn't even buy that statue for half the price. (not interested) The movie was an abomination.
Hopefully SS will get the Ahab Pred, because he's not as popular as the JH & CH? That's why Cracked Tusk, Big Game & Scorpion Alien were on SS.
Did you ever get the light up to work yet? I have to wait for Spec Fiction to send mine.

No, it doesn't work. I'm messaging them about it right now before I forget again.
