No, they don't. Linking the cloak and helmet was an invention of the AVP games IIRC.

Remember all the Predators at the ends of P2 and AVP? Loads of cloaked Predators without helmets in both films... you even see the P2 elder cloak while unmasked.

True, I forgot the end of P2. But still I prefer the idea of a predator having his mask on to be invisible.

Going by this image, it's just a rehash of the same Wolf figure and the face is just a 3rd attachment instead of a unique head, so the unsightly seam will still show. For only $15 I'll still pick it up because it's cool, but at the same time, it's only a $15 figure, why they couldn't put some effort to make some unique pieces too is beyond me. I guess NECA figures these aren't going to sell very well so just recycle molds. What they should have done is, as has been suggested, just one ultimate Wolf figure, with 3 heads and all the accessories, would proably run $25 which is still $20 cheaper than buying 3 figures.

NECA said it was one of the most expensive figures they made.

Anyone have an Open Mandibles PredAlien they could "give" me? :monkey3

That's freaking awesome.

Took a brush to Wolf tonight. NECA did a nice job sculpting his disfigurement, but the paint job is a bit subtle, so I made it a bit more bold to really look like an injury. Also glossed his eye over with some white, make it look more deformed as well.

Hey guys is the skull necklace molded to the whole thing and stuck to the chestplate or is it a completely seperate peice?

Separate. The "rope" is plastic with the trinkets being part of the same mold but it's loose. The head has a ball joint coming out of it with the neck having a socket. With some gentle twisting, you can remove the head and necklace if you like.

Dude contact Hot Toys, they'll take care of it. Was it a break? Or was it a screw coming loose? I had the loose screw problem with Wolf and his whole arm fell out. No breakage at all though.

Darren they're referring to the NECA figure.

My bad guys!! Haha didn't realize it until now. A little too much on my schedule today...overload

Yeah, I've heard of the arm breaking.

MaulFan · Mar 28, 2008

I snapped an arm off a NECA Jack Sparrow. even though there is articulation, it is limited. The arms, if they still do it the same way, are on like a hook for the shoulder and if you turn too far it breaks the hook and there's nothing left to keep the arm on.
