Hot Toys - MMS173 - Predator 2: 1/6th scale City Hunter Predator Collectible Figure

[gunm]

Must be QA issue. I still want to get this guy sometime down the line before he sells out @SSC though.

Same problem with the head, it is too loose IMO. The best thing to do is put the old HT Predator Head on the new body and there will be no falling issues.

Just sent mine to be repainted!!!! Will post pics when completed.

It is an issue that other members have complained about, unfortunately.

I even recall some saying, even though they don't touch or pose the head, it will fall on a slight bump.

For what its worth The head on mine has never fallen off.

 

[mosaicsquare]

yeah I wonder what kind of "posing" people did that would result in the his head falling off with a "slight bump". Mine have been fine since I got it last year. Eversince the release of Predators every single one of these guys have been rock solid.

I just feel like the ball joint is too big or I need to use a hairdryer and heat up the inside of the head. I'm not crazy about the idea due to the rubber dreads.
It really doesn't feel like it's on all the way.
If I tilt it down a bit it will fall off. It's a real pain in the ***.

My main complaint with this figure is just not being able to get all the poses I want. I guess the lack of an Ab crunch really hurts it in the end.

I like this pose but shame my display cabinet is not able to fit him with this pose.

Uruk has the head of the old Predator 2 to paint it for me. Great!!!

You are welcome.
No, mine is the Borg custom. My Borg custom is the conversion from shadow predator (body) + new City Hunter (head) + Old HT Borg (armors).

Uruk said he will start my Borg after finished that Scout.

I have the old Borg too, but i don't like the old type body so that's why i custom a new Borg with new type body.
The old Borg armors sure cannot fits on the new body, need some custom extend on the armors.

 

[marisinacc]

I'm going to do the same. Plan on using a old Lost Predator and customize like the new helmeted NECA Borg.

 

[Dizzyarse]

This is how Borg looks with the new type of body... this was a Beserker. I did have to make an extension in the back of the armour to fit it over the chest.
The gauntlets squeezed on after some heating with a hairdrier.

^^^ That's amazing!!! Great job

I'd really love to get the old head for my guy

I just got my City Hunter today and am super excited. This is my first Hot Toys figure and I was blown away by how cool it is. Unfortunately, I do have a small issue. As soon as I took off the right fist the gauntlet came right off with it. I don't know if it is supposed to be glued on or not, but it just slid right off. The problem I am having, however, is that when I try to put the gauntlet back on I can't keep the netting under the gauntlet. It keeps sliding up. I know there are a lot of customizers on these boards and I am sure somebody has taken the netting off a HT Predator and put it back on so I was hoping somebody could give me some tips on how to put it back on and keep the netting underneath the gauntlet.

Here is a pic if it helps
