Prime 1 Big Game Jungle Hunter Predator 1/4

[Galactusz]

Those go for about 4-5k now. There still good demand for terminator and predator stuff so I hope all these companies take note!

Heck, there’s one for $7K on eBay right now. I know someone from Facebook offered $5K for it, the seller turned him down.

Is there a section here where collectors post their entire collections? I am not too familiar with the specifics of this forum.

I am quite not still finished with my own, but will soon. My collection is about 60% Alien, 30% Predator, and 10% Terminator.

Well said man. The Sideshow 1:1 Jungle Hunter is amazing. Its the first expensive statue I boughr and will easily be the last thing I ever sell if I had to sell my collection for any reason. Dying to find a Coolprop P2 bust, but there doesnt seem to be anything local.

The I.S City Hunter for me is cool, but the paintjob is a letdown for me comlared to Prime 1's. I also think Prime 1's biomask is superior. I.S' unmasked sculpt of what I can see compared to the limited pics of Prime 1's is far superior.

The CP P2 took forever to sell out, just like most Predator statues. I think I wound up getting it for $400-500 under retail. Hopefully, you will be able to find one close to retail. Patience will pay off. Completely agree about the IS vs Prime one, but I think you would be happy with the paint app on the IS P2 if you saw it in person. It's definitely on par with previous good Pred statues.

Yeah - you got it . . . perfect except for the production mistake on EVERY copy

the unpainted portion of the chest above the nameplate (top-left as you look at the pic).

Effin GORGEOUS piece, and the first mass-produced/licensed collectible costing over $400 USD I ever bought (back in July 2005).

MAN the years (and thousands of dollars) flew by!

.

I never noticed this either lol

That one is a rarity, never sold out it's listed ES, thus not many floating around. Interestingly it was quite disliked by a few when first unveiled, compared to other endos, it didn't get much love. When production pieces came out people bashed it even more, pointing out the pose being even more exaggerated than the proto photos but ironically I think that's one of the main strengths of this piece. Over time it has aged like fine wine and is now one of the most sought after pieces. I haven't seen one on sale for 5-6 years.

I do miss having this piece for sure, but I really hated the packaging of it, wound up breaking a piece of the gun because it was so bad. For a smaller statue, thing was heavy AF too. Boxing him up drove me nuts though. That was my main reason for dumping him looking back at it. I'd love to see the Prime version one day to see how it stacks up.

Well ill definitely probably get the I.S version if Prime 1's final product is sub par. Im hating how long its taking for both the JH and CH to come out. Desperately wanting to see the final quality of them

If all goes well, we should have the City hunter in a couple of short months.

Probably had a high content of stone in the resin which made it weighty. So at one stage you owned both the CM Pred and CM Endo, that's pretty darn awesome.

Prime 1 Endo is a beauty. I still marvel at it on a daily basis. Hope you get to see it in person one day.

If the fugitive pred didn't turn out as well as it did then I would be a little concerned, but I think P1 is on the right track with JH and CH. Predator is one of their strong lines with several types of complimentary pred statues. This won't be a repeat of the sideshow JH maquette 1/4 scale, Prime 1 have too much on the line to mess this one up.

Having similar trouble finding HCG's 1/2 Endo torso bust. I think we're due for some new T2 Endo pieces soon.

Yep, had both and sold them both within a few months of each other. I'm hopeful for Prime making a 1/3 Endo at some point. I think I'm going to be getting out of the 1:2 statue game. Every time I make plans to just buy 2 in that scale, I end up selling one off.

Yeah, same here on the HCG 1/2 Endo torso. But I have the Chronicles Collectibles 1/2 Endo torso Genisys bust, it’s a really nice piece. Yeah, I know, Genisys, not T2, but it’s very similar and still looks pretty cool. Secret Compass is selling a little wave of them on eBay right now...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/174641149162?ViewItem=&item=174641149162

And you can have Arnie for a steal on Amazon...just ordered one myself...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SNVCPW1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wished it was the battle damaged version, but this will do, especially for $150.

Here’s the CC Endo 1/2 bust...

Wow that's a bargain for 1/2 Arnie. I'm pretty tempted LOL, it may go well with the 1/2 prime 1 Endo.

That genisys bust looks good too. I use to be a harsh critic of the genisys endo, but over time I'm kind of ok with it.

Yup. Bad movie, but that Endo is still cool as heck.

Get that Arnie, you won?t find it any cheaper. Sideshow has it discounted down to $250 plus shipping. On eBay they want $300.

Arnie looks good displayed next to the Endoskeleton bust too.

I bought that one from Amazon when there were nine left a couple of days ago. Now there?s only six left, then they will be gone...



The likeness is a tad off, but I still see Arnie (the battle damaged looks more like him). I just bought a pair of 3-inch miniature shades off Etsy. With the shades on, the bust will look way more like Arnie, lol.

I will land the battle-damaged Arnie in the near future, so I can have all three, ha...

 

[Galactusz]

Ok. A new roll call.

For those who ordered the Big Game Jungle Hunter. Who also ordered the Hunter Victim Tree and who did not?

I cancelled the Hunter Victim Tree a few months again. But have a little itch of preordering it again. P1 told me I can still get the $200 discount again. Shipping is $150 USD.

Just got the Deluxe JH. Had the tree originally, but cancelled due to room. Would look awesome woth the tree tho

 

[Python]

No tree for me.

 

[csutkakoma]

Same. No tree and since I am in Europe I can only get the regular version, but I am happy with the 2 heads.

First in hand pictures.
The miss alignment of the paint app is a disappointment.

 

[csutkakoma]

So it is out. I am very surprised in a good way. Need to see more photos. Is there other photos of the statue besides the head?

Not yet but they are planning on doing them soon I think. Honestly it looks good except for the black dots being off center. The mouth looks better than the ch paint app. But this is all we have atm.
