Damn, that rifle is too sweet! Is it an airsoft gun?

That it is!

OK ladies and gentlemen, I have pictures of sideshows 1:5 scale predator statue (Exclusive edition) Over all the figure is quite large and impressive in person standing about 19" tall including the base. The sculpt is fantastic with lots of really good details and the masked version is much better than preview pics let on. Paint is very good with no blemishes that I can see though Im certain private painters could do better.

The only negatives I can really think of are these:

1) plasma caster sculpt isnt exactly accurate seems a touch long, I havent compared with screen caps though.
2) Missing some essentials - The figure came with only 1 of the trophy necklaces, no spinal column necklace. WTF?
3) The rope or leather bands at the elbow arent in the sculpt nor an  additional accessory.
4) Quills are omitted from the figures unmasked version (this is probably a scale and survivability issue)

Apologies if some of the pictures are washed out, I didnt use a flash

Ouch Uruk.... wasnt horrible $320 shipped, only 750 produced. I have number 718.

Ive come to expect some minor paint issues. In fact of all the SS pieces I have, I think Iron man, Conan and Indiana Jones vs Mola ram are the only ones with exceptional paint apps. My predator 1 polystone Dio is pretty good, but Predator 2 is crap lol

always admired people who pay this amounts of money for statues that are not worth half of the price IMO. no offense though, each to his own  :)

Personally, I'd expect it to be more as the quality of the paint went up. I feel I got a fair price. They use air brushes to speed up the process, problem is as figures get smaller or into smaller detail stuff gets overlooked. Hand painting would triple the cost.

Right you are, and I don't see anything that would make this piece any less worth it's price, it's a very nice mold and sculpt, they got the face detail right, plus its size is huge, though I do agree the paint job could have been better, but like you said that would probably bump the price up price quite a bit :/
