Premium collectible company Prime1 Studio has announced a new impressive Sengoku Predator statue. The statue is quarter-scale and stands at 35″ tall.
This definitely goes all in on the ‘space-samurai’ aesthetic, featuring decorative armor, an elaborate base, ripped out trophy skull, and staff weapon.
The piece also has interchangeable heads, one with a full bio-helmet, and another with just a head-piece. A second, exclusive version of the collectible comes with a third, completely unmasked head.
Here’s the description from their site:
“An extraterrestrial species characterized by their hunting of Xenomorphs/Aliens for faith and honor using a combination of highly advanced technology are the Yautja, also widely known as Predators. Prime 1 Studio is excited to present a new piece from the Dark Horse Comics series: PMDHPR-04: Sengoku Predator!
The armor design is from the Sengoku era, the main colors are red and gold which gives a nice vibe of Japanese culture. Predator’s familiar face has more brutal expression compared to other pieces. He is holding the spinal cord in his right hand, and a huge spear in the left. There are human skulls and skeletons scattered at his feet. The statue measures approximately 35 inches tall and is made with a great attention to details.
Don’t miss adding this great piece to your collection!”
The sculpt is based upon a limited variant cover for the Predator #1 comic that kicked off the 2009 Dark Horse Comics Predator run of the Three World War story arc.
The price for the statue is definitely a hefty one at $1299 for the standard version, and $1399 for the EX Edition.
Prime1 offers payment plans if you want to reserve one and pay in more manageable installments. It doesn’t have a final release date yet, but it’s due to come out sometime next summer in 2021.

I think the body is better proportioned to fit the massive head we see in the movie.

it's way to much to me,
it's not worth it for that high of a price.
Umm. ? Huh? You're saying I altered the aspect ratio from the video Blue shared? Because I didn't. Biting my tongue here.
Here's a screenshot I just took from my phone.

So is this a joke I'm misreading @Master Chief ?
No, I'll stay calm.
But thanks to Blue's shared video, this is what you get when you don't lock the aspect ratio on your reference photos... a scrunched City Hunter head!

Well, I'll start with the bio-mask. I just took this pic on the left, which is my HCG 1:1 Collectible Bio-Mask, which is the only commercial replica that is molded from an actual film used bio-mask versus a new sculpt. (Caveating I know there were slight variations between stunt and non-stunt masks, and promo shots varied from what was often seen in film).
On the right is a pic from Prime1:
https://i.ibb.co/jfXLy4R/IMG-20220430-094830.jpg
On the Prime 1, for starters, the mask's eye slits appear just a bit too geometric and machined, the mask's cheekbones appear a bit too narrow, and the mask's breather portion appears to protrude outward a bit too much at the bottom.
Prime 1's bio-mask is still nice, but at that level of cost, I'd personally want it more accurate. If it was cheaper, I wouldn't be as nitpicky.
I can see the mask is a bit too square and the eyebrows aren't quite right in the angry face.

That makes three of us. Looks pretty damn spot on to me.

What's inaccurate?

Even the creator of Final Fantasy came out and said that price is crazy. I miss the days of Sideshow 1/4 scale statues being $500. Sure, the quality wasn't always there but sometimes the could knock it out of the park.

This one is just a LITTLE pricey...

For those who don't know
While I don't particularly like the nano-machine form over the wearer type feature, it does look pretty cool. I would definitely buy an action figure of it.
That King is insane!! What I wouldn't give to actually have the money (and the space) to even realistically think about getting something like that!!
I would love to have it though, not huge on that comic or design but I have a nice nostalgic soft spot for it anyway.
Yeah, this has always surprised me a little too.
