Prime 1 Studio - DOCUMENTARY CITY HUNTER PREDATOR

[@bowser515]

Please fix the pose, even just a slight clockwise rotation and straighten the heads would improve it so much. Also the bio is exactly the same as the one on your 1/4 just blown up in size. It looks okay, but it could definitely use some improvements to the cheek area especially, the damage marks and the missing ridges on the crown. With a few little tweaks, this could go from being just okay, to being awesome. And for $5k, it really needs to be awesome.

This one just doesn't POP like the jungle Predator does. That one is in hands, reviewed and is a knockout. It's already considered the new "Grail" statue of all Predator statues. I have mine being paid for right now and I am really looking forward to getting it in hand. The City Hunter Predator is very iconic, especially with his spear and disk. His armor is nowhere near the level of the Jungle Predator though, especially in these 1/3 statues. This City Hunter should be $2,500, $3,000 for the Deluxe and $3,500 for the Ultimate Deluxe. $5,500 is absolutely absurd for an extra half dozen skulls that lay around the base. The base should have just put in a wall behind him with all of the skulls hanging from it (Just like in the movie). The bonus items from Prime 1 could have been Danny's necklace, King Willie's head and an extra disk for both hands (Net gun and re-breather are cool too). I don't see this one being a 10/10.

Makes me want to watch Predator 2 again!

I'm seeing a lot of complaints from fans about this City Hunter Predator statue. The main complaints I'm seeing are his pose and he somewhat looks like a dwarf. City Hunter is my favorite Predator of all time but I'm honestly torn whether I should get this statue.

[@bowser515]

They really messed up the pose on this one sadly. Prime 1 have a great eye for details, but not so much for subtle character traits and how the predator moves which is just as important. Even the jungle hunter looks like a body builder pose wise. But this one is really bad. The low ES suggests we were right to ask for improvements. Shame they never came...

[@odus]

@@bowser515 I'm seriously baffled how Prime 1 approved this statue and how much they messed it up so badly. At 1:01 I don't know if it's the camera angle but his body looks seriously disproportionate. Along with the lame pose and terrible body disproportion, I feel like his head & mask look a bit inaccurate (but I must say, the closed mandible head bust and the screaming head look amazing!). The other thing that bothers me is his short wristblade at 1:19. Yes, some parts in the movie his wristblade is short like the scene when he kills the voodoo gang leader at the penthouse, but in the scene when he gets shot by Mike's shogun at the slaughterhouse, his wristblade is actually protruding out longer. I feel like Prime 1's Jungle Hunter statue is near perfect and looks magnificent. But I'm more of a fan of City Hunter. As much as this statue is a huge disappointment to me at the moment (especially the ridiculous stupid price), I'm still a little bit tempted to buy it. But I will wait until I see unboxing videos on KZbin before I make my final decision.

[@bowser515]

@odus Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I can't figure out how they though this pose looked good. It's so awkward. It's such a shame that this could have potential been the be all and end all of city hunter collectibles, but a few wierd decisions prevented that. I actually prefer the city hunter to the JH. I love his beautiful mask and armour, most of which is hidden by having him awkwardly looking so far sideways. Even as a huge City hunter fan, I have no desire to order this tbh. Their 1/4 is better in every way and that shouldn't be the case. The mask is okay, but definitely could be improved. It's just the mask from their 1/4 version blown up in size. It's based more on the stunt mask sadly. The cheeks are to pointy and the dome at the rear I'd too narrow. The whole cheek/eye area should flow into the dome more than it does. They improved the Jungle hunter so much after it's initial release, the mask especially! It's such a shame they didn't do the same for this.

The Jungle Predator is better in look and price.

Got this City Hunter Predator Bust on pre-order 🔥

Such a shame they never tweaked this one. The low ES suggests it didn't sell well at all. And thats a shame as clearly a lot of hard work went into it. It was all undone by an awkward pose. It would have been so easy to make it all look a bit more natural by rotating the body to face forward more and straightening the head. Having his head turned so tightly and hiding that beautiful shoulder armour is a strange choice and makes him look rigid. Oh well, big chunk of money saved...

La pose de las piernas se ve rarísima 🤔

[@cwilsonsr7263]

All I see is a bunch of complainers. This piece is 🔥

[@bowser515]

If that's all you're seeing, maybe there's a legitimate case for complaint? You don't think the pose could be better on this? I think the pose is awful personally. Not only does it not capture the lose movements of KPH, but aesthetically it looks really awkward....

[@cwilsonsr7263]

@bowser515 yeah I do admit the pose and base could've been better but the paint and switchouts are nice

[@bowser515]

@@cwilsonsr7263 I agree this has great details, switch outs and paint. I love some of the heads on this. But none of that really meana much when the statue looks so awkward overall. It's a shame that they put so much effort into it all only for the pose to undermine that effort. If they would just relax the pose a bit and rotate the head more forward, this would probably look amazing!

[@cwilsonsr7263]

@@bowser515 💯 they even did a weird pose with scar and I was really looking forward to him before they announced
