A lot of people message me and ask about my Alien and Predator collection, and when I got this, I had to make a thread on it's own for it.
Furyu is a Japanese company, who produce CRANE Vending Machine Prizes... Yes, this is a damn crane prize! It stands 10" Tall, and is made from solid PVC Plastic... this wonderfully painted, highly detailed 'statue' only cost me $37 shipped from MonsterIslandToys.com (the website still has it up as pre-order, but their shipment has come in) - Monster Island Toys is a small store in Chicago, so don't be too impressed by their website.
However, if you do end up wanting to own this, this is THE ONLY AMERICAN SITE I know of that has it. The production is DONE, both the Alien in the set, and the Predator are officially DISCONTINUED! This was a very, VERY limited run, and at the price, you can't beat it.
Kotobukiya released a Vinyl statue of the same Predator (Scar) and the detail and paint job are NOTHING compared to this. The big difference? Kotobukiya's sells for around $160. So hey, if you've been looking for something cool for your shelf, media room, whatever, you can't beat this! The wristblades arrived bent, but a few seconds with a blow dryer to loosen em up, and then straighten them out was ALL that needed to be done. On to pics!
Strictly for size purposes:
So yeah, hopefully someone else here will see this, and decide to buy it too. It's completely awesome, but do remember, this is a static piece, meaning NO ARTICULATION! It's a statue!
