Agreed. A missed opportunity for sure. But who knows based on P1's track record there will probably be a reissue with the swap outs.

I wasn't planning on getting any of these, but Scar looks great. Space is limited for me and I'm holding out on a P2 Elder hopefully. Fingers crossed.
 
Scar would’ve been definite and Celtic/Chopper most likely if these were 1/3. Just don’t have the real estate for these guys and the other 1/3 Pred’s:(
 
My phone screenshots lol.

Holy crap those look amazing! :thud: :clap :panic:

These things will doubtless cost me a blimmin' fortune :horror

. . . unless they are 1:3 scale OR they do silly things with the options/extras again . . . in which case I'm out.


Thanks so much for posting these! :duff

(* EDIT - just spotted the photo with the fella standing next to them - they ARE 1:3 - so that's some more money saved :slap damn these guys are idiots - WHY OH WHY do they think we all want 1:3 statues when 1:4 is universally acknowledged as the most popular scale for these sort of statues :cuckoo: *)

Forgot about the unmasked. Scar's base is definitely the best of the 3.

I think the more battle-ready stances of Scar and Chopper make them look a bit squat with all that body mass.

Celtic standing more upright gives him the right balance of power and grace. His body language here is more evocative of the movie than what the other two are doing. If you really want to capture the attitude and "feel" of the AVP Predators, that's the pose.

They look fantastic however would love to know which of you guys can afford to complete this Prime 1 Predator line? By the time they're done it will cost the same as a small house deposit.😯 Would have been good to see this in a smaller (and less expensive) scale.
I can't imagine going all-in on this line unless you don't collect anything else. This is like owning Iron Man's Hall of Armor. On one hand, I'm thrilled something like that finally exists for Predator fans (can Alien get similar treatment next?). On the other hand, it seems Prime 1 are incapable of delivering truly high-end paint apps unless the piece is over $2.5K and weighs as much as a teenager.
 
I plan on getting all 1/3 Predators... but these 3 are hard to justify with how I plan on displaying my collection (bust / statue combo per character). I was truly hoping I could fit them all into a single statue, which would pair beautifully with CP Scar bust.

That’s great if you can get them all, you would have to go pretty deep into the rabbit hole if you want full statues and bust options, and maybe rent a storage space for the boxes;)

Ah - YOU are the fella that bought that! :p

They all look great!
To me, Scar's base & switch-outs makes it the one to get.

Ugh, I shudder to think of how much it'd cost to complete the 1:3 Predator line.
Where would one display them all?

These have 1/4 written all over them, they are crying out for it in fact and would probably do pretty well in that scale and price range.. Scar looks best over all, really good base. Celtic obviously has the best bio. Pretty sure Chopper will not sell and will be cancelled...

I think Chopper looks pretty striking. The asymmetrical base with 1.5 pillars stands out, as do the giant arm blades and trophy skulls. Not sure how many will sell, but he does look more impressive at a glance than Celtic (even though Celtic has the cooler helmet and more upright stance).

I actually wish Scar's base had the asymmetrical pillars. That, combined with the Alien corpse, would make it pop more. The two almost identical pillars on either side make it feel more like a shrine than a statue.

Bummed we're not getting an Elder. I'd consider him on a snowy base. Those extra long blue dreads and the big red cape in 1/3... good stuff.

I think if you buy Scar & Celtic, you HAVE to have Chopper to complete the set - besides - I've always thought those back-mounted stakes with skulls were a nice way of making up for the dodgy bio-mask and his naf "behaviour" in the movie :naughty

Half of me wishes these were 1:4 so I could get them, the other half is grateful to not be spending the money :)

I'm pretty sure that the AVP Elder & P2 Elder will be announced/shown some time in the next couple of years (probably 1:3 again rather than 1:4 :banghead )
