With so many potential predator grail statues coming out from Prime 1 Studios, does sideshow Legendary Wolf Predator still hold up? This giant collectible from Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem is often touted as the #1 Predator Statue ever made. Mr. X Disagrees. #predator #statue

For me the jungle big game predator is the ultimate statue for a predator fan and that’s why I’ve chosen to sell my sideshow maquette because as soon as I saw it with all those switch out heads , I had to get it. It’s the ultimate jungle version predator and the original film is by far the best so for me that statue was an absolute must . I can’t wait for it to be released, would like the victim statue to go with it but depends if I can afford both as the customs and postage to England are going to be costly!!!

The Cinemaquette Predator is the top grail of Predator statues.

@Fiorwestcoast 4 жыл бұрын

It's okay now. Ten years ago it was top top. But the sculpt is just a fan sculpt not accurate. But people hyped old statues up so high ten years ago that people have a tough time letting go of that hype.

@xeno-yautja9544 4 жыл бұрын

@@Fiorwestcoast it has nothing to do whether it’s accurate or not, outdated or not, that’s not the point. The Cinemaquette is still the number one mass produced Predator grail statue. They hold on to it because it’s still a boss statue. Still commands high prices. Hype is irrelevant, that’s up to personal opinion and demand. Facts are facts. That’s how art works in the real world. Sure, modern ones are superior. Now you have 3-D computer modeling. Take the modern Superman statues, like the Prime 1 Hush Superman. Awesome and imposing statue. But you think serious Superman collectors will trade their frail antiquated 1941 wood composite IDEAL Superman figure for the Hush Superman? Oh hell no, not in a million years. And that’s my point. That applies to the Cinemaquette. Good luck trading the new Prime 1 Jungle Hunter for that one, hype or no hype. I pride on my eclectic collection. I love that it’s a combination of old, new, licensed, customs, models, etc. I collect everything Alien and Predator, and not just statues. I have everything from the first Kenner Alien to Ben Cooper Alien Halloween costume, Neca, Hot Toys, and everything in between. It’s about how they make you feel...not whether they are the most modern or accurate. I’m not into just one area of collecting. I just paid for the Prime 1 Jungle Hunter and the Victim Hunter Tree. And yes, I think that’s going to be the best Predator statue ever. But would I trade it for the old and outdated Cinemaquette Predator? You bet I would, in a nano-second. I don’t know if you know Pred Andy from the various Facebook Alien/Predator Pages. He has one of the best Predator collections on the planet. He’s just a huge and crazy fan, he buys duplicate statues of each, lol. I asked him what was his favorite piece. He said the Cinemaquette. I believe him. And that’s the whole point of my argument. Nostalgia and feelings for older pieces over superior-made modern pieces. That’s what counts. Amen for that.

@marty uribe I agree, that’s why I ordered it, ha. It will take a few years though, as that seems the norm in terms of ascending to the throne, but yes, the Jungle Hunter is destined to be top dog, especially with that crazy Victim Tree part, wow...I can’t wait! 😎👍

@xeno-yautja9544 4 жыл бұрын

@marty uribe I also agree. ECC are overrated and overpriced, true. But I just dig the Predator because it was one of their older and first ones, and it’s really nice. The Cinemaquette Alien is not as good, but it’s signed by the late HR Giger, and that alone makes it a grail to me.

I have been back and forth in this one for a long time. I always thought many aspects of the statue looked cheap in photos so your review is very telling. I also am 90% into Prime 1 so I’ll wait till all those come out before I decide on this guy again. Maybe you will be right and people will sell theirs for cheap so I can afford to have that S7 custom paint job.

I love this Pred statue, I was beyond stocked when this was released, yea there "dreadlocks" are not in fact hair; while some Predators possess "eyebrows" and other coarse facial and body hair, it is apparent that the dreadlocks on their heads are fleshy growths, and have been known to bleed when damaged or severed. They are in fact complex sensory organs that provide the creatures with their exceptional balance and reflexes. Almost like a tail on a cheetah or monkey. They are also thought to play a secondary role in attracting a mate 🤑 Great review I've always wanted to get mine repainted.

I have this piece. I bought it 10 years ago, I still love it to this day. However I wouldn't say it's the best ever predator piece. I would put the Cinemaquette predator above this one. On release it got backlash for having the netting on his legs, he should have no netting. However what I do love about this piece above everything else is the sculpt and engineering. The paint is a little too flat, but I do like the way they painted the Alien on this piece. Still a keeper in my collection. I just feel better piece's are on the way

@AnthonyOldhandGarcia 4 жыл бұрын

The Assassin Predator, City Predator and the Big Game Predator looks cool especially their title names. The city Predator can be called a jungle Predator since that Predator is in NYC he could be called as 'The Concrete Jungle Predator' which the name suits it well. I think all three mentioned are cool. The Alien yellow paint with the yellow liquid acid looks like egg yokes, don't know why they chose a bright looking yellow color and not a mixture of both green and yellow to give it a subtle look to the acid color from the movie? But cool review.

I agree with all of your points and critiques on this piece, although I probably would've knocked it a bit harder for the paint, engineering, and cheap mixed media. It's so weird that I love the Aliens and Predator films so much, but most of the statues are pretty meh to me (if I did go for one it would be the P1 Dog Alien... one of the films I like the least, but the produced piece is amazing on every level). Even during the close ups on this piece, I tended to look past it towards your Star Wars display. Rey vs Grevious, eh? I can dig it. I wish that stand off actually played out in the films.

From what I’ve researched years ago there were no more than 280 made and a lot were damaged on arrival. Hence why it’s a very rare piece and sought after, it sold out early even though it was open edition. SS just had enough with making them, although it was designed and sculpted by ADI. The Cinemaquette will always be the grail for me as it was made by Steve wang and SW studios. Prime 1’s will be more accurate to the film yes but it wasn’t Steve’s intention, his was to sculpt it the way he thought the creature should look. I have all the P1 and infinity pieces coming but don’t think they’ll ever have the presence of the CM. I’ve had my wolf LSF for many years and I’ve had no issues with flaking or cracking at all yet.

@getsnapped68 3 жыл бұрын

125 made it and stayed collectors hands so it’s super rare. I had to change mine three times to get a perfect one. I’ve never had issues with the mix media this guy has a humidity problem, plus a little bit of leather conditioner once a year keeps it soft. I’ve had mine since is was released.

@Roscoe0583 3 жыл бұрын

@@getsnapped68 I didn’t realise that few made it, my source was on SS freaks, a rep commented years ago but the comment was deleted. The key is humidity and not to really touch it with your hands, it’s the wear and tear of shipping and people grabbing the cloths also as these pieces are traded quite regularly. Original owners rarely have any problems.
