Just got the Classic Predator and it broke! Please help!

Only (without paying a higher e-bay premium) way to get an Exclusive.... in most cases.

True, true. Some international members were juggling the idea of going through the extra financial trouble for the extra skull, that's why I bring it up. While it's only a temporary fix, some decent deals may be found on feeBay for the accessory by itself -- and from closer sellers. To each their own, I guess.

For this case... disagreed

Yeah, misunderstood the OP. If the peg's still attached, then it's not really an issue. The figure isn't actually broken, so it all comes down to how OCD you are with wanting a factory-fresh, unaltered piece.

I'd say it's not worth the hassle then, as long as it's just a simple glue job.

I have decided to glue it and will not be using Gorilla Glue. Thanks everyone.

What a bizarre construction design Is glue the only thing holding it together? Are there any other parts? It seems like thats exactly where all the pressure would be when you pull the arm up. Im surprised more people haven't had this problem. I guess you have to put your thumb directly on the joint and grip the elbow when bending his arm. Other wise if your just holding it at his wrist you can snap the arm off

If the lower arm still lights up , that means theres no wire going through the upper arm

Obviously! theres a big ass elbow joint in the way!

So theres no reason for one arm to be different size than the other

The way the arm comes off is a great thing for people who may want to make a battle damaged p2 out of the body

Maybe Hot Toys was planning ahead with that design, for their own Predator 2 re-release. I can't think of another reason for such a hockey assembly

Sideshow would undoubtedly work with you on getting a replacement. Their customer service is top-notch. I wouldn't attempt to glue it, since you'll risk a decrease in value. Just send it in and get a new one in perfect condition.

^ This.

it's the reason i stick with SSC

Yeah you do have to grip it like that.

I suppose HT should have kept the peg round and enable forearm rotation... I'll mod one of my classic to do so with magnetic attachment.. especially with the light up forearm... so the arm would have wider poses..... which would involve purposely breaking the gluing..

 

[willocrew]

Wow. That is a lousy design. Would have preferred hot toys to skip the whole led gimmick if it requires such a design compromise.

 

[EndIessRAlN]

But I really like the glowing globe.
