I wish they would redo all the predators with the paint jobs they deserve,.and maybe add the robot falcon w/falconer
 
Aside from the issues with the Berserker's chest, I always thought series 1 was painted pretty well.
 
Kind of glad I procrastinated on buying most of waves 1 and 2, as I'll now get them from the new factory. Even though Falconer already looks decent, I guess I'll have to buy him too. Eventually, when his blade inevitably fell out, it fell into the vortex and was never seen again.
 
I hate that damned vortex. Maybe I can tie a rope around someone and send them in after it. Let me know if there are any volunteers.
 
ah the vortex. Thats the phenomenon whereby something falls to the ground and somehow vanishes completely from sight, yes? as though it must have bounced and propelled itself off on some unpredictable seemingly unlikely trajectory to land where you never find it..or find it only weeks or months later.
 
It's not just me? Every time I drop somthing ONLY Alien/Predator related, it magically ends up in some other room..
 
I asked about the series 1 and 2 figures on twitter, and they said it will be a small re-release, just enough to satisfy vendor re-orders and QC problems with the Tracker.

I'll probably get another set, but truth be told, I don't think that these newer factory figures are going to be the pristine and flawless versions it seems some think they may be.

It's not like they are using different paint or plastic, or anything like that, it's just that the quality control for the paint jobs and figure construction are of a better standard.

A nicely and acceptably painted 1st release Classic Predator is probably what we can except as an example of the new factory produced figures. Say you had a chance to look through like 40 figures, and picked out the best painted one, now all 40 should look pretty good.

Just basically imagine the best 1st release paint jobs you have seen, and that's probably what most of these new factory figures should look like. Basically, this factory is better because they will do thier job correctly and now the figures will have paint jobs and assembly up to par with the best versions of the 1st release figures. But not some ultimate perfectly painted and updated version or anything.
 
yeah that's what i was thinking. i'm getting mine repainted anyway so it doesn't really effect me. it will hopefully keep the guys who missed out on the 1st series happy anyway.
