For me - absolutely not.
For that sort of money (given the issues I have with the sculpt) I'd want it to be painted by Joe Dunaway, hand-delivered by Arnie, with a gift-wrapped Pamela Anderson as a special gift (don't tell the Wife!)
.
I was all in UNTIL I saw that price. I see that stateside distributors are charging even more ($979-$999) for it, but they’re not carrying the closed mouth piece that everyone wants. So, if the only way to get the “limited edition” closed mouth is to order direct from Prime 1, where does that leave the final price after shipping and import fees and taxes?! $1,500+ ?!!
If you're in the States, the website quotes under $50 for shipping. Not sure whether that quote will still be accurate at the time of release, though.
I dont think the closed mouth goes that well with the pose he is in.. So I am fine with passing on this.
It's cool but the DX will have plenty of head options for me. No way in hell I'd pay $1000 for it even if it's large. Was hard to swallow the $3000 for the 1/3 as is. I'll just admire from afar once other collectors get it.

Still on the fence mate. I've got room for it but it would be without a cover. I need a custom case built to put it into. If I can't find a good solution I won't get it. Still don't know about decals. I know it hasn't been confirmed nor denied for this piece but I'm hoping they use paint for the details. It's pricey so production needs to be near proto but we're not going to know that until closer to release. That's pretty much where I'm at with this.

To be honest, it needs to be living and breathing for that price.
What they should have done was offer just simple base versions too since the current torso busts have got to drive the price up a lot, great as a standalone piece but anyone also getting the full statue would just need a little stand option like these or the Joker bust

This is the way they could fix this train wreck. Double back and offer the closed mouth for $500-550. Will they do it?

$599 for the head and bust.
$399 for head and stand.
Easily would sell at least 5 times the amount, rack in bigger profits and keep company reputation intact.

Yeah, pretty much the perfect solution for all.... I can't see this happening. The way they delete comments and silence any criticism, I suspect they would rather just cancel these due to lack of sales than back down and admit that they could have sold them way cheaper after all. What a mess this has become, and it's down entirely to greed.

My 1/6 Predator 2 Elder, Wolf and classic are still 3 top favorite Predator pieces I still am impressed by years later.
Exactly!
Yeah, that's until his and his friends are produced, lol. They don't stand by each one. They have a room full worked on at once and a real artist walks around teaching random factory workers how to apply the layers.
This is now waitlisted on Prime 1's site.
Somehow I don't trust it.
