Well, for imformation on Billy it would make sense to visit that thread. Plus if you gave it some thought I think you already know the answer... it's the same reason any figure of an actor has an obscured likeness... licensing!

Just caved in and ordered me some Dutch...had to after all the pics, you crazy awesome bastards!

Got him yesterday and I'm simply in love, I haven't had a chance to take any pics but I will as soon as I can get the camera from my gal. I've watched Predator 3 times since yesterday

I can't stop looking at him, I've futz with the collar and cigar, then I took the coat off and I have the leather strap across his wife beater. Last night I had him posed with just he leather strap and no wife beater or coat. I am one of the biggest fans of that movie along with Arnold.

As a big fan I'm very happy to have this in my collection, I had to cancel at first because of so much Marvel stuff coming in around March, April and June but got back on the WL in July and got lucky! Phew that was close...

Yea I hear, ya... Well even my grl or I should say soon to be fiancee was telling me that I need to stop buying and start selling stuff in order to save for our wedding trip this fall was happy for me whenever I got Dutch last night.

Now if you know of me talkn abt my grl, she's not a fan of this stuff but she knows it makes me happy. Even she was impressed with the likeness of Dutch. THAT SAYS ALOT coming from her

Tru, I think I got rid of a lot more whenever I was a kid than I have posted there this week. I think I had around 50+ TF's U name it though and I had it if it were TF's but at the same time I think there's other stuff I'd rather have my hands on than action figures. To me these days I like to keep action figures MOC and 1/6 and statues out on the displays.

How long till the prices for dutch go way up? I don't want to like save up till september and then the price being like 300 dollars. That would be so rude!

I love my new Dutch. But I have one glaring issue with him. What the heck is the deal with this massive hole in the rubber of his throat? My eyes are drawn right to it whenever I turn his head and it's exposed. Is this a common issue at all?

 

[SaintDemon]

Anyone has any advice on how to remove a broken peg inside Dutch's wrist?
Cornerstore shipped him this way and rather than exchange it, I just got replacement pegs, now I want to fix him but don't want to ruin the figure while doing it.
Thanks in advance.

Yup. Everyone has the same problem.

What I did was drill into the broken plastic wrist stump with a small (1mm or so) drill bit; screw a small wood screw a little bit into the hole so you have something to grab on to.
Then just grab the head of the screw with pliers and pull it out, it takes the broken stump with it.
Best way to remove it without damaging the surrounding arm or rubber skin!

Really? Alright.

Thank you, Darren.

Awesome, thanks man! I'll follow your advice.

I was actually explaining it to someone a while back, and I did them a sketch - here it is. Might help explain things a bit better!

i was pished when i saw the rubber problem on the throat and not being able to pose him with a turned head! (come on HT,fix up!-it shouldnt come like that at these prices!)also ive noticed on mine ive started to wear away the paint inside his mouth from stuffing that really annoying cigar in his mouth! its fits perfect eventually and poses fine but dayum its hard work to get in!
