Damn, looks like the box Jim Carrey was kicking around and abusing at the beginning of Ace Ventura...

I must say BBTS did a great job with packaging! Original NECA box packaged inside another box with bubble wrap all around!

Got my open mouth version today from toy r us via UPS ground the packaging was really BAD No fillers, peanut or bubble wrap, they just put the item in one cheap box and sealed it with one ply of scotch tape and part of it is open i will never pre-order to toys r us again their bunch of i will so bad As of now i did not see anything wrong with it thanks will check it more later when the kids asleep

^^^ Same here. Got my masked version in today, although the shipper box was still intact. Doesn't instill 'peace of mind' on items taking a beating during transport from them.

hey guys!
if anyone has a masked predator they are wanting to return for whatever reason, i will buy it off of you for the price you paid

preferably like to have 2, but 1 would do also

thanks

If the figure's okay...who gives a ____?

The box sucks anyway to be honest.

Boxes still shouldn't be handled like that. Some toys aren't packaged as securely as this predator, or some may be more valuable - thus the shipping companies/whomever should have put more effort into making a well packed box, considering throwing in some bubble wrap takes all but 20 seconds.

Does everyone have knee and elbow straps on your 1/4 Neca Predators? I just noticed that on some pictures and my closed moth version doesn't have any knee and elbow straps on it... And this is the one I received re-sealed with double tape (tape on top aof cut tape) from BBTS, but which was verified at customs. This ended up so expensive and now not only had it been opened before but is also missing parts?! Great, just great... and although this was likely at customs I can never be sure who opened it.

I like the figure, but I'm rather upset with all of this and it made me loose all the excitement I had. I should have bought it on FP instead, it would have been cheaper and no customs. Now I have a more expensive one which isn't even complete if the straps were supposed to be on it.

I feel like I want to someone.

Yeah, they are all supposed to have knee and elbow straps.
I know its a pain in the ass to not have them on yours, but its easy to make your own and make them more accurate than the ones included.

Thanks. Then it seems it's not just the bio mask I'll be doing... at least the straps should be easier... but I'm really really upset about this. And I keep asking myself: did they opened and re-sealed it at BBTS or at customs? Were the straps taken out or just a QC issue that I was unlucky with? Oh well, it's just better to leave that and move one. I'm going to put the straps on my TODO list for this Predator.

I wanted to buy the masked, but their so many things that came out at once. Congrats to those who got these! Their very nice.

Im guessing it was probably a QC issue.
I wouldnt worry too much about it though. It is a shame that they are missing on yours but luckily its something that is very easy to replace and make better/more accurate yourself.

For your straps, you should use some very thin, dark brown leather and cut strips of 4mm x 1200mm.

Probably a QC issue, yes, and I hope so. I'll be looking at the movie to see a good way to do the straps. Thanks. If what was missing was something major, e.g., skulls, a hand or a foot, it would be a lot worse.

So i finally saw the Predators at my TRU. 69.99 thats an awesome price!

Something like this should do the trick -

No probs.
Just ordered some for myself, too!

That must have been one big mofo box? I just picked up a case last week at legends action figures and the case was huge.

awesome scale comparison

Its not that hard, just be patient and watch the tutorial thats is somewhere around here. I did it after I told myself that the gap was fine but it just wore on me until I did it last night. The beauty part is that it doesnt matter how it looks on the inside of the mask, everything will be hidden when you put the mask back on.

Appreciate it.

Wayne, want to trade heads? Mine is already modded and all.

Wow. Thank you for the offer. My masked is still unopened and I've yet to decide if I want to keep him or not. I'll tell you what, if I end up keeping and opening him soon, I'll shoot you a PM about that head swap to see if you're still in. Sound okay?
