I agree with you about the limited run on this one. I think the exclusive parts are really nice so they should have had a bigger edition size to allow more people to get hold of one. The wait list is still open on Sideshow's site so it may be worth jumping on it, you never know, it may convert.
I'm afraid I dont know enough about 1/6 scale pieces to recommend anything, I just buy what I like :) This one is actually 1/5 scale and stands nearly 20 inches tall, with the base it is about the size of a 1/4 scale piece. It may be cheaper to buy it direct from Sideshow, not sure what the shipping would be to NZ and what the taxes would be but might be worth looking in to.
Cheers mate. I paid retail from Sideshow, $299. Hard to say it's worth $500, I guess it depends how much of a Predator fan you are and how much you want the exclusive parts. The waitlist is still open for the Exclusive on Sideshow's site, maybe you could try that first, mine converted very quickly although that was over a month ago.
The Wolf and Elder are both very nice, I have heard good things about them but not seen them in person. I would like to get them both eventually. I think any of them would make a good first buy, I would see which is the easiest to get, I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of them :)
Yeah, i'm looking forward to seeing what new pieces are shown. I was tempted to pre-order the Planet Hulk as that looks amazing but want to see what else is revealed first.
Cheers mate. I checked out the Wolf Predator, that is one amazing piece but way over my budget unfortunately. I'd just be happy to see one in person one day.
Wow, a year, that is a long time! I'd like to get the Elder myself one day, it looks a great statue. I definitely recommend this one too if you get chance in the future, I think it turned out really nice.
I agree mate. I think a lot of exclusives are pretty pointless but these really add to the statue. I know a lot of the Predator purists don'y like them because they are not screen accurate but that doesn't bother me.
Can't remember where I got it but it's by a company called AutoArt and is designed to display model cars. It's not really suitable for statues though, not really powerful enough for the weight.
Oh, my bad! I thought these were in 1:6! haha But anyway, this is exactly the size i'm into, 1:5. VERY NICE! The top ones on my list is this, Wolf Predator, Elder Predator and the Predalien statue. What would you recommend be my first? Any plans on getting any of them? :) I've never bought anything from an oversees collectible company, but I guess it's worth a try! Not worried at all about shipping as long as the piece is at an affordable price, usually shipping is cheap I guess..
I think sideshow's work is absolutely amazing and I'm in the works of selling my whole NECA Predator collection to make enough to buy one of these 1:6 Scale statue's, so I guess you could say i'm a pretty big Predator fan lol. Though they don't sell the exc. version here in NZ and the prices for these are normally at 500. I was wondering, if this isn't worth it, which 1:6 would you take at that price? I know I will get most eventually, but want to be smart with my money and get the best first.
umm,...still thinking,but EX is a must.Elder & Wolf i have so far...i want to buy this but i hate 2 b on waitlist.didnt PO him on day 1,dont really like the pose cause hard to pose it.
Thanks it's real cool.... and over my budget... aren't they all lol i flexed the payments like many of my pieces. we have the big comi con this week... my wallet is already screaming lol
I passed on this one, mainly because of $ but I also have Bad Blood and ELder EX (although SIdeshow has taken close to a YEAR to replace my broken Elder >(
HI GREAT VIDEO but sideshow doing a limted run is really bad as it hikes up the price for the nasty ebayers i seen this statue at near £500 only a week after release on ebay .just not right .i got bad blood and so i want this one but the limted runs means theres no way ,and out of the two casts this is best .cmon all us preddy heads want a preddy holding a aliens head ,dont we ..great statue though
Thank you. I think you'll be very happy with it, it's a very nice statue.
