...shipping only to USA.

for those who say that breathing tubes are too short:
just don't stick them where it's made on the toy.

they are short. they just go around the neck. i'm gonna either drill two holes in collar zone of the metal jacket or just glue the tubes there.

=================

that surprise is fixable.
what is unfixable is the construction of leg armor.
the shin armor of AVP predators consist of two parts. lower part freely moves inside the big upper part. that's an important and outstanding part of AVP armor, dividing it from any other movie predator design.

all hail the tsang troll.

And making AVP playsets for series 2 instead.

Although funnily enough - while I condemned the 8" figures to the box in the wardrobe - I still have the series 2 sets on display to this day.

Good call. What I did with my old AVP's back when I was using guitar strings was tuck the other end of the wires into the armor collar at the back of the neck.

the string is a perfect idea. i wish i got one. too lazy to search for music shops, would better purchase from ebay, it will be also cheaper.
could you give some advice what string should be taken? diameter or something, i really know nothing about guitar strings marking.

Yup,never know him doesn't have both thigh armor as Scar,good shot btw.

 

[edstuff]

holy crap! You're right. I never noticed that. And are you saying the calf armor is only 1 piece? The originals were made from 2.

originals = old release? so it was done right back then and wrong today?
yes, new Scar has 1-piece leg armor, like P1 or P2.

Yeah the first run of avp calf armor was made of 2 pcs. Maybe you can replace them with the originals?

 

[P.]

i dunno. first of all new predators have massive arms and legs, old armor never fits good even with cutting. and second - like with classic, scar has his leg armor heavily glued to legs.
V-Raptor managed to detatch classic armor once to replace it with P2 armor to make boar predator, but he is really professional in that. i tried, too, and failed.

I just have some old coils of string lying around, forgot what the dimensions were since the bags they were purchased in are long gone. I think the ones I have are nylon, which is good since you want some flexibility. I think the second-thickest, the A string, is the one that I used on my old AVP's. If that doesn't work, then the D string should. E is probably too thick and even if you can get it to fit, it's way too stiff so I wouldn't bother.
