Great news this is still coming. Maybe this will need a revolving turntable to best capture all the details.....

In that case, if there is still time to do so. Could you please pass on comments about the awkward right leg position on this statue to the relevant team. Altering that small thing alone will make this a much nicer statue I think. And given how many people are cancelling their Prime 1 Jungle hunters right now, it might be worth your time and effort making this one as impressive as possible. Many thanks.

Nooooo, bummer.
Thx for update.

But most of us are getting old, can't wait years and years for perfect statues

I vote for higher main tree and no need for knee support.
Also sculpted loincloth(s), bcs materials for mixed media can look nice from designer quality, but factory materials are often much thicker (more fake). Thx.

Agreed.

That's one small tree the Predator climbed up there... Those tree stumps do really show how short it really is.

Not to sound rude, but what would be the point of him climbing a tree that tiny? If the tree stumps are removed, it could leave the height of the tree up to the imagination. The bottom of the base should be all tree. (No ground) I think that was a big miss conceptionally.

I also agree with others about his right leg position looking a bit awkward.

Other than that, it's looks pretty good. I might be interested, if a couple minor changes could be made. (knock on wood)

This is a great point. I hadn't realized what was making this seem so small until now. Ideally the whole thing should be a tree that's angled enough for the Predator to support itself, so there's nothing to interfere with scale.

Of course, that leaves the question of where Arnold should go, but he's not really an essential part of the display IMO. Unless you put the statue in the center of the room for a 360 view, you'd never see him anyway. The time it would take to paint him (and the ground) could be better spent ensuring that the spots on the Predator skin are done cleanly.

Dutch would have to be scrapped. You can't sacrifice the piece's overall aesthetics over an easter egg, which is all he is in this piece. Save it for a future statue maybe.

The star of the show is the Predator on a tree. The way it sits right now, it's a statue that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. All they have to do is chop off the bottom of the base & have it all tree. Then it would look a lot better.

...

We are on the same page

..but imo making the main tree around 4inch higher will make the overall size/vibe look good enough too.

Plus I also thought that Dutch is not visible at all, but if you look at this video (below) and this unpainted photo.
I think he is better visible than first expected (when you look more angled from above, Dutch is clearly there).

@Halcyon Yes I agree, the tree top could definitely use a few more inches in height aswell.

It would be nice in the future, if companies could put out a quick hand drawn sketch, to get feedback from the collectors, before they go all in on an upcoming piece. Just for piece of mind, wouldn't you want to know from the target market what tweaks need to be made to insure maximum sales? I know I would...
