All new Fewture Ancient Predator Re-Paint Release and a UK Predator DVD Boxset!
September 3rd, 2006
This is brand new folks, so you’d better get your butts in gear if you have a HOPE of scoring one of these at the original release price! Fewture has announced that it will be shipping a limited run of 500 units of an Ancient Predator Re-Paint this fall.
Now just to give you an idea of how this will sell, the original statue sold out in a matter of hours and now sells on eBay for $800! So, if you want to try your luck at getting this yourself, you need to head over to the Artstorm Fewture Direct page and try to place your order. A few people I know in North America are trying to get their orders through, but as of yet, we have no confirmation that they are accepting international orders. I will update everyone if I find out anything else on this.
For those of you scratching your head at all the Japanese writing, here’s a little instruction guide of how to navigate this page thanks to by buddy Ian who posted the following at The Hive:
1) Go to Google translate http://www.google.com/language_tools
2) Scroll down to the “Translate a web page” bit
3) Enter the URL http://artstorm.co.jp/predator_order_form.html
4) Select “Japanese to English BETA” and hit translate
5) Will give you the equivalent page in English
6) Enter all your details (the ‘mail address’ is your email)
7) Hit the left hand button to confirm
8 ) Hit the button on the next page that pops up
9) Hit the close button
10) Pray like crap that they accept the order
Now, as for the repaint itself, they’ve completely changed the horse’s color scheme, added some additional details to the armor and swapped weapons on the pred. Looks pretty kick ass and I’m definitely going to try and get one for the collection to go along side the original version. So for those of you trying to pick this up, best of luck!
Next up we have a Predator DVD box set that is due out next year in September 2007 and it looks like it’s going to be a BEAUTY! There’s only 1 hitch for most of us… the DVD set seems to be only in the UK, so this means the DVDs will be Region 2 only. This means the DVDs will NOT play on North American DVD players. Lucky for me I have ZERO intentions of ever playing the DVDs in this case because I just want the 1:2 scale Predator bust that is apparently sculpted by Sideshow Toys!
Drooling yet? Well you’d better get your butt over to Amazon.co.uk and pre-order your DVD set now!
That’s about it for new goodies for now! I have been adding TONS of new photos to the galleries and added many new items to the catalogue areas, so hopefully you guys are enjoying the updates 
Take care gang!

[...] Back at the beginning of September, I announced the pre-order for a Predator Special Edition Boxset that featured a 1:2 scale Predator bust that had been sculpted by Sideshow Toys. The exclusive boxset was limited to 3000 units in the UK and was up for Pre-Order on Amazon UK when I first posted it. Actually, I’m kind of surprised it actually shipped reasonable on time! I think that’s a first when it comes to this hobby! [...]
[...] First off, looks like Fewture is back with another piece! Actually, their Ancient Predator repaint still hasn’t shipped, but it looks like they’re ready to post a new piece based on their Ancient Predator line. This time we have a 1/3 – 1/2 scale Ancient Predator Bust! [...]
Anybody know anywhere else to get the ancient predator on the horse repaint? Besides that japanese site or ebay?
Hi. I just noted that your blog appears like it has a code issue at the very top of your site’s page. I am not sure if everybody is seeing this same problem when browsing your web site? I am using a totally different browser than most individuals called Opera, so that is what might be causing it? I simply wanted to make sure you know. Thanks for posting some great info.
