Amazing Spooktacular Predator Arrives
October 24th, 2011
Holy Cow Kids, Sideshow is starting off the Halloween holiday Spooktacular with a new Predator that is…get ready…20″ tall!! It is beautiful and here is the first photo.
That is the Sideshow Exclusive Edition that comes with the very cool bloody human head – how Halloween of them. So this is the one we have been waiting for. The original guy, the one who started it all from the 1987 film. Check out the helmet view.
And don’t forget the classic close up with and without the bio.
One word of caution. Don’t let this one pass you by, you don’t want to be paying 3-4 times on eBay in a few months.
Given Sideshow’s continued descent into poor quality control AND bad customer service (Predator LSB and PF Rogue statue anyone?), I think I’ll give this a miss.
Treating your customers with contempt is a sure way to make them apathetic towards new releases, especially when their recent releases suggest there is little guarantee that the piece will look anything like the one shown.
I wouldn’t lose too uch sleep over passing this one up.
-awkward pose
-helmet is wrong
-open face is great, but looks like it was taken straight off of the maquette
-you know the production paint job won’t look anything like this
-why isn’t he gripping the spine rather than palming the skull
This definitely has potential if they had just done a few things differently. I missed out on the maquette, and I am still waiting for Sideshow to give me a reason to dive into their Predator line. I’m just glad I have my Narin Classic P1.
