Sideshow Toys 1:1 Predator Bust Review and Photo Shoot!
October 20th, 2005
Today we feature the extremely amazing and extremely huge 1:1 scale Sideshow Toys Predator Bust! This gift to Predator Collectordom comes courtesy of Stan Winston Studios, who have cast this collector bust from the original P1 molds, and have recreated this beast with loving attention to detail. At 20″ high, 23″ wide and 24″ deep, this 30lbs hollow resin cast piece is limited to 1000 pieces world wide, and at the going eBay rates of $650 or more, this baby is worth every penny!
There is one simple thing that annoys me with almost every collectible I buy: The production piece is NEVER anywhere as good as the prototype. Well Sideshow just DESTROYS that old rule with this gorgeous and massive Predator bust. See how good those photos look on the product page? Well it’s that awesome when you’ve unpacked it and it’s sitting in front of you. Combine this piece with the upcoming Predator Maquette coming out in Spring 2006, and you will own the 2 greatest Predator replicas on the market. Congratulations Sideshow on raising the bar and delivering a product that looks every bit as good as it does in your promo shots!
In terms of sculpt, obviously it doesn’t get any more accurate than this, and the paint naturally is top notch. As far as I know, the only non-accurate detail on this whole bust is the eyeballs, which are not movie accurate but still complete bad-ass!

So with that said, it’s time for photos!!! Enjoy!
