You are absolutely right about that half open head sculpt. It's way more movie accurate. I think that fully open headsculpt was inspired by 1:1 Sideshow Stan Winston studio bust.
The full open mouth is very popular because the original suit was exposed at the Stan Winston Studios entrance in the 90's and the head was without the animatronics inside but it has an structure opening the lower jaw in the same shape as P2.
Finally an extensive review about this piece! I don’t like Prime 1 very much but this is the most movie like, authentic Predator statue ever produced nonetheless. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing statue, really incredible work by Prime1, so well done, and it’s massive, really big. Out of the heads you have I’d display it with the regular mask, love that mask. I also love the fully closed mouth portrait that you have to buy separately, I think that looks amazing. I also absolutely love the closed mouth portrait on the new City Hunter, love the closed mouth look.
Yea I don’t know about removing the plants, I think they add a nice bit of colour, that’s my only issue with the new City Hunter, the base is too plain, there’s nothing to it, they should have made a column standing up behind him, like the columns that were in the ship.
@@Roscoe0583 Yea it would have made such a difference, you can see how much better that is on the Berserker statue, it has the column with the skull on it. That’s an amazing statue, I utterly despise the head design of the Berserker, but with the mask on you can’t see it & the mask is really cool. But the biggest miss is that the ultimate version doesn’t come with a wall to display all the skulls. They should have made a wall that you can attach to the back of the base that holds all the skulls, it’s stupid that you just have to scatter them around lose, definitely not worth the massive price increase just for the skulls. Don’t know why that wasn’t a big complaint from collectors.
Yea the closed mouth portraits are amazing, I would nearly just buy those just to display them as busts even though I don’t have the statues, but I only get anime statues so they’d look out of place. Jungle & City both look incredible with the fully closed mouths. City Hunter looks even better, as the pattern on his head is more elaborate and his mouth is slightly different.
I reviewed that piece just before I received this piece, it’s a custom headsculpt buy FX artist Patrick Magee, from film moulds, has glass eyes and translucent resin. It’s one of ten pieces he made.
The king has arrived in one of the best collections out there. Great comprehensive review as always buddy. Ur correct abt the lower mandibles position not protruding the upper. Are u keeping keeping the cm and big game too ?
Saw some videos with breakage or wrong version all together. Im glad i had no problems with mine. I actually received the fourth box with mine which was a duplicate base belonging to another person! Took like 3 weeks to get it back to the customer. I noticed your scorpion is upon the rock do yoy know that It has a little slot for it right? Just F.Y.I. I didn't notice the slot for a few days either LOL
I’ll take a look for the slot thanks, just cool you can position him wherever though 😂 Yeah I knew it was a matter of time before we started seeing issues with these, for such an elaborate piece I’m surprised they got them out so quick, factory workers really need to take more care packing, handling and posting these things. No problems with mine just had to widen the pin hole for the stump, lots of minor blemishes on it but I’m sure that’s on most statues. My biggest issue is the spine bandolier, it’s way too big, wrong shape, shouldn’t be human it should be a jaguar spine.
Well you’ll start off with the best one ever made you wouldn’t need another or worry it will be outdated later. Definitely worth it, just going to be hard to get one later having to be repacked correctly and shipped with 3 boxes.
What the hell, someone broke one of the portraits to make a closed mouth version?! Some people are insane….anyways great review. Can’t wait to get this beast in myself. Btw will you be getting the P1 Alien warrior? Should be shipping soon.
Thanks, yeah I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, looked horrible and could tell it was a modified half open sculpt but initially thought it was P1’s closed mouth and I got worried, glad it wasn’t! Yeah I’m waiting for the warrior shipping notice, hope it hasn’t gone up too much.
I didn’t pay shipping, I picked mine up locally at zero cost. However I had a spare on order from p1 and they wanted $1650 before they cancelled it on me due to Australia’s new battery laws.
Roscoe, I just received my Jungle Hunter Predator DXS Bonus Version yesterday and looking forward to assembling it, once I find an ideal location to the size of the base!! Yours is amazing!! Where did you get the bust within the far right on the pedestal?
Congrats, just take your time with it and enjoy! Exactly you don’t want to move it after it’s assembled. The bust is a custom from film moulds from Hollywood FX artist and director Patrick Magee. He was also big red predator in batman dead end. He made 10 units only. It’s just sitting on my sub in the home theatre.
@@Roscoe0583 Thank you! Congratulations on the custom bust as it is awesome!! I have a home theatre and have some of my maquettes along the sides and back wall. There are two M&K X10 subwoofers in the front and then I have 11 speakers throughout, four of which are in the ceiling for Dolby Atmos.
I just watched your review of the Patrick Magee custom Predator bust! :-) I also have The Hound and the Assassin Predator Ultimate Version and see you also have this one too. Congrats!!
@@silviobarretta7118 awesome, that ultimate version is very rare. The owner of p1 has even said many people have been asking for it now it’s sold out but they had a long time to order. I’d hold on to it as long as you can. Yeah my system is just a klipsch system with atmos, it kicks ass but I’m not one to upgrade for a long time unless the speakers die. Lol.
@@Roscoe0583 Hello Roscoe: I am finally unboxing my Jungle Hunter Predator after modifying my shelving to be 30" wide. What is the secret with fitting the small peg of the right Predator leg into the base? I tried various attempts and no luck and do not want to damage the legs?
Some fantastic Pieces but come one dude get a proper display setup as having these on the floor on bits of wood just looks awful and your clearly not short of money to buy some shelving / display units/ Nice Review !

Thanks for the review ….. appreciate the chat on the phone today also regarding the legs.
Thanks mate, not a problem anytime!

You have an amazing collection. When will we see a collection tour?
Thank you, hopefully one day when I sort out the chaos of it all 😂
Great review! Would love to see a separate comparison video between this and the Cinemaquette
Great content as always. Epic, epic piece!
Yea I don’t know about removing the plants, I think they add a nice bit of colour, that’s my only issue with the new City Hunter, the base is too plain, there’s nothing to it, they should have made a column standing up behind him, like the columns that were in the ship.
Yea me that would have been better, even a wall with glowing effect.

great review bud. I'm loving mine the best Jungle hunter out there.
Great review, can't wait to add this beast to my collection.
Thanks, yeah I couldn’t wait either. It’s definitely a show stopper!
Big congratulations again bro
It’s absolutely stunning
Mate you sounded very much like an Aussie collector.
Well done ! Nice to know another collector from down under if you are.
Yes I am, from Sydney! Thanks.
If you are on any of the FB groups you may have seen me on there.
@@Roscoe0583 yeh I was thinking the same , what name you going with in them groups?
@@JD-vs3do Aaron Ross
You sound just like Korg on thor Ragnarok. Where's your accent from? Awsome statue!
Mad congrats!!!
Once again, i'm collecting vicariously through you 😅
@@jcchan312 haha, thanks, you got this one coming?
Unfortunately, no. Just enjoying this piece through other collectors
Great review man
Fantastic piece and thanks for the review. Where would you say the centre of gravity is on the piece? Cant wait to get mine.
Thanks hope you enjoyed. It’s pretty well balanced but I’d say most of the weight is on the front foot.
Awesome! That full scale predator bust, who makes it please?
I reviewed that piece just before I received this piece, it’s a custom headsculpt buy FX artist Patrick Magee, from film moulds, has glass eyes and translucent resin. It’s one of ten pieces he made.
I’m gonna check that vid out

Should I get this Prime 1 Jungler Hunter predator statue? It will be 3700 shipped. I own 0 statues and this would be my first.
Well you’ll start off with the best one ever made you wouldn’t need another or worry it will be outdated later. Definitely worth it, just going to be hard to get one later having to be repacked correctly and shipped with 3 boxes.
We're do you order the closed mouth portrait
P1 direct or selected resellers, unfortunately it’s been on the waitlist and sold out for quite some time. Best to get on the p1 website waitlist.
What a review 👏👏
Thanks buddy! Hope you enjoyed it!
What the hell, someone broke one of the portraits to make a closed mouth version?! Some people are insane….anyways great review. Can’t wait to get this beast in myself. Btw will you be getting the P1 Alien warrior? Should be shipping soon.

Yeah I’m waiting for the warrior shipping notice, hope it hasn’t gone up too much.
Nice! What type of polish did you use on the epoxy?
I just used a very small amount of Meguires insane shine/wet look. It’s an extremely light polish.
how much was shipping from p1?
I didn’t pay shipping, I picked mine up locally at zero cost. However I had a spare on order from p1 and they wanted $1650 before they cancelled it on me due to Australia’s new battery laws.

Мне кажется что в фильме Хищник 1987 биомаска выглядит как то иначе.
16:50 They messed up that "T". It's too close to "O"
I don’t think so, there is a mm or 2 gap equal between each letter, just gives that effect as it’s next to the A.
@@Roscoe0583 compare it to metal sign. T is off on red sign.
@@stevemuzak8526 they are actually different texts, one is printed and the other is sculpted.
Dimensions in cm?and which all areas are mixed media
Tassels, loin cloth, dreads, plants and straps are all different materials.
He’s about 93cm in height.
@@Roscoe0583 depth?
@@thecomicreadern4344 the board I have him on is 70cm so he’s a tad smaller than that.

I'd be all over this if they didn't overscale it to 8 1\2 feet tall.
