Hot Toys - MMS 66 -AVP-R - Predator (Cleaner Kit version)

They put the little burster in the middle of the package with the neeting, I think.

Alice, can the figure be removed without destroying the packaging? Also where do they put the Chestburster?

Definitely. Each side, or face, of the tray cube has a cover that snaps into place to hold the pieces in place. After you get everything out you can snap everything back together, and slide it back into the box just like it was before. It's just slightly more complex than the old packaging, but still just as collector friendly. And as far as the chestburster goes, the one I got yesterday was just the regular Cleaner, so it didn't have the burster. However, Elder is probably right, because I really can't see any other way they'd fit it in there.

That would make sense too, to put it in the middle.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Anybody gonna change the mandibles to look like the wolf bust?

 

[Alice]

I was planning to, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Shouldn't be hard to do at all and would improve the look immensely....

Also, welcome to the board.

The burster is packaged separately outside the box.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Oh, I hope ssc doesn't let it get damaged in transit then. I also hope they don't try to cram it in the box.

Finally got around to bending the mandibles. I used a heat gun to soften the mandible, held in place while I ran cold water over it. I think its a slight improvement.

[Elder_Predator2]

Yes, you should put still do the cold water. It'll harden them in positition.

 

[Pineapple]

After you've softened them up with the heatgun, hold the mandibles in place while you run cold water over them. Cold water is a must as it hardens the soft plastic in its proper place.

 

[uscmhicks]

the dreads wont mess up if water goes on them will they ?.
I'm paranoid soaking my figures head.
I dunno if predators like showers ?!

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Dn't soak it man, just the mandibles. I fyou wanna wait till I get me Wolf Cleaner I'll make a vid of all of his probs.

Also, did you ship the head yet?

 

[uscmhicks]

[Elder_Predator2]
