Thanks but where did these badblood pics come from? Couldn't find it on Narin's site!

 

[BENSIN]

what the heck is this?

Looks like he's got some...boil on his face or something, any one else see it? His top right mandible.

 

[BENSIN]

beats me, I was looking for them when I went to the site just now - zip, zero zilch.

couldn't find anything on monsterz.net either.

Either that or one huge resin ball

LOL

At first it was wigging me out - 'what the HELL is that ?'

Then after staring at it, I noticed the empty eye socket on the right side and it all made sense to me. The lack of netting STILL bothers me, but that kit is WAY too cool, to not get. He says it took him 30 days to sculpt that, lmao - dude is a machine - that is some serious talent!

I'm trying to keep the inevitable high costs of buying that thing and getting it painted/assembled but man oh man, that thing is great!!! It will be worth it.

The Net thing if u look at all of Narin's kit is pretty much non existent except for the movie related character kits.
All his custom doesn't have it not cuz it's hard to sculpt, perhaps the artist feel the netting destroys the overall artistic sensibility of the anatomy. If there was netting, the muscles will be hard to paint.
I painted a P2 Kit before and its a pain in the arse to paint everything then paint the netting last.
Plus there are some details that get sacrificed like no scales on the body cuz of molding problems.

I think if people really wanted the netting they can get those web net fruit sacks made of plastic strands.
I think u DIY guys can look in the fresh fruit section and do some customization on these kits.

I mean, I have the Destroyer kit that Narin did and it's one of my favorites, it's a really grand piece, and it also has netting. He got the muscles down right, even with the body net, so in my opinion he is capable of it and it always irks me, feels like it's just missing something. Same applies to the Urban Hunter kit that Predator Stuff did, and the Wolf kit that he did, netting + anatomy = perfect - also favorites. AMAZING works by Narin.

I can only imagine what a big pain in the ass it is to paint the netting, but it looks so much more complete when done. It's definitely possible, on my S. Hayes sculpted models he's got all the muscle groups and muscle separation faithful to anatomy.

However, with that said, if that is how Narin envisions his sculpts, then so be it, the detail and quality he puts into the kits is more than enough to make me look the other way on most of his sculpts. I do also own the AVP Diorama where the predator lacks the netting, it does still bug me to this day, but, nonetheless, I still own it and it's sitting in a display case right here. ...so take it as nothing more than a microscopic complaint.

I admit, I passed on the Death Warrior because it didn't do anything for me, especially with the lack of netting, despite being a great work, but this Bad Blood is ten times better and is a must buy!

I like this Bad-Blood kit as well I think its the best work to date. The man got 1 extra mouth to feed now so he's gotta push himself. Where can we get this? Predatorstuff?

Narin's has some sick talent and, IMO, he has created the most incredible visions of our favorite hunter. I would love to travel in the man's mind for at least a few minutes. This piece is just way too AWESOME. I own a few of his kits and would have loved to have owned the DEATH WARRIOR (one of my grails now), but I got priced out (family, bills, life). This piece, for me, tops the "Death Warrior" but I will most likely be priced out of it too. Please note that I'm just complaining about my limited financial ability to purchase it. This piece is really an incredible piece of art. I just wish I could afford it. The great thing though is that I know once it is out Joe and a few others will do some incredible paint ups that will that I will add to my gallery .

Hi all! I am really excited about a brand new kit from Narin, which is the follow-up piece to the insanely cool Death Warrior kit. This is the next kit in the series of Predators that Narin is sculpting, casting and selling direct and it is now available at Predatorstuff.com for pre-orders AAAAANNNDDD just like the Death Warrior, I am offering the $25 discount for the bulk order!

All the details on the release is here:

Or you can go direct to the shop to see pics at:

This AMAZING new sculpt is the 4th Predator series sculpt being sculpted, cast and released directly by Narin himself and will follow the same process as his AMAZING Death Warrior kit, with a limited run of 99 individually numbered kits. Cast in solid resin, this kit is 1:6 scale with 96 total parts, including 65 individual dreads for the 2 Predator heads.

The sculpt features the Bad Blood Predator, a maniacal killer loaded with battle scars and a taste for Predator blood. He stalks his prey with two Predator skulls mounted to his back armor and slices and dices his kills with a MASSIVE axe and spear, which comes decorated with his latest victim. The base features equally impressive details with another kill at his feet, complete with dreads, bio helmet and a complete upper torso. Narin’s AMAZING skills earning him the title of KING of the Predator kits come shining through once again in another MUST-HAVE release!

Totally agree. Hot Toys' Predator line aside from the armor the figure just look like a generic human form with some reptilian color on it. The only thing they sculpt is the Head.
Hopefully the P1 they're releasing is better.
HT also have quality control issues. They tend rush the orders and come out with ridiculous mistakes such as extra hands or same side hands and feet, mismatched colors and also paints & parts falling apart.
My dealer in Guangzhou sells a lot of their crap and he says about 25% of HT stuff have quality issues lucky for me he will accept returns from me since I'm a VIP customer.
Hot Toys didn't reply any of my emails or complaints.

So if anyone buys Hot Toys be discriminating and be sure to check your products before buying in stores or check for return policy if product has unacceptable quality issues.
You pay good money so you should get quality, not crap!

that is some fricking AWSOME work. the detail is unbelievable - see the carvings on the tusks of the trphy kill?!

Yup, looks like he murdered an Elder along with those other guys..... definitely needs an Arbitrator to go after him!

(sigh) Another must-have, this one is phenomenal!!!!!
