A south London junk shop displays life-size movie characters outside to draw attention. Recently, a metal sculpture of the Predator has joined their ranks.
A junk yard is probably far too harsh a word for it. However, each morning the proprietors of a – dang – junk yard in Lewisham, London, drag to the forefront a massive eight foot replica of one of our favorite scary movie beasts, the Predator. They are vague about the origins of the structure, but not so much about the price attached to it. Although they are more than willing to haggle, your starting gambit had better start at five thousand (British) pounds. Otherwise, leave it out!
I'd love to know who built this! http://readmore-webphemera.blogspot.com/2008/09/predator-lands-in-london.html -Thanks, RJ Evans!
They also had an amazing optimus prime but it was only a foot and a half tall.
I've seen the xenomorph from alien in a gadgetshop before I'm sure...

Pretty cool, but far from a one-off.
Much love for neatorama :)
The piece I saw in bangkok was made out of old motorcycle and car parts, amongst other salvaged items.
They often have other amazing & huge statue/sculptures out the front too.
