I’m all for recycling, but recycling Predators? That seems dangerous. Thankfully, this is only a statue of a Predator, made from recycled metal. That means it isn’t all that light — or that cheap.
Want your very own heavy metal Predator? It’s been listed on Etsy, shipping out of Thailand for $US6,700. Shipping is extra unless you happen to be in Thailand, and with a stated weight of approximately 500kg, I’ve got this feeling it won’t be cheap. Also, what if it’s not a statue, but a Predator that’s become very good at stalking… and waiting.. until its prey comes near? [Etsy via ThisIsWhyImBroke]

Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 4:58 PMI’ve purchased one of these – albeit a 2ft version – in Thailand about 10 years ago. Cost me around $100. A few years later I found a shop above an eyeware store in Elizabath St selling the same ones from the same guy. It’s been sitting at my parents place for 10 years. 2 weeks ago when I went over to visit them, I discovered – to my HORROR – that dad had decided to paint the the arms and legs chrome, the skull and mouth BRIGHT RED, and the eyes… BLUE. What was a bit of a collectors item is now ruined. Serves me right for leaving there I supposed. Oh yeah… my dad is a heavy drinker.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 5:23 PMYou can buy paint stripper you know? Then you’ll have to get the rust off. As for collectors item well I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
