It is no surprise with how popular the 1987 Predator creature design is so popular. Personally it is on of my favorite designs of all time. So it breaks my heart that I missed out on the Sideshow Collectibles Maquette and the Cinemaquette 1/3 original Predator statues. Now the prices of these pieces are too high for me to be able to convince my girlfriend that it is an investment (especially when I never seem to sell anyway).
There is always the Sideshow 1/5, but after owning their Scar Predator I felt there was no enough presence for the character.
So while on a normal day for me looking through the hundreds of videos that pop up on my daily subscribed channels I started to watch the latest video from Sideshow Collectibles. This was the Artist profile of Alfred Paredes (Video is at bottom of the page) and what I saw got me really excited.
At 4 minutes and 30 seconds the video reveals him sculpting a Predator which is undoubtedly the 1987 version and appears to be a Legendary Scale piece.
Even though this piece is likely to command between $1500-2000 from Sideshow collectibles + shipping and the 20% tax we get stung for in the UK. I would still find it extremely difficult not to add this to my collection as I am a huge fan of the movie. Watch this space!!
