Dutch Schaefer Predator Premium Format Figure

The second statue I purchased was of Major Alan Dutch Schaefer as played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator. This beefy statue weighs in at 13 pounds with the other dimensions being 20.5" high, 10.5" wide and 10.5" long. While I already have a 12" Sixth Scale Predator Figure, I'd love to get a Premium Format Figure Predator to go along with Dutch. This statue is as impressively detailed as it is big and heavy. Details consist of real fabric costume including woodland camouflage pants and shirt, a detailed vest, jungle boots and an array of weapons including...

M-16 with M-203 Grenade Launcher
Machete
Knife
.45 Caliber Pistol

Jason Voorhees Friday the 13th Part 3 Premium Format Figure

The first statue I ordered from Sideshow Collectibles is the legendary Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise. Initially, I had no plans to simultaneously purchase statues alongside the 1:6 scale figures I already had committed myself to. Having grown up a fan of horror movies, I remember having my bedroom walls covered with movie posters and Fangoria magazine covers of my favorite horror movies. So when I saw this statue on Sideshow's site, I just couldn't resist. Since then, I've ordered the Freddy Krueger statue which arrives shortly. I would love it if they were able to get the rights to make a Michael Myers statue.

At 23" tall, the Jason Voorhees statue towers over my other statues yet only weighs 10 pounds. Very nicely detailed from the veins on his deformed head down to his axe and pose.
