Sort of off-topic, but since you've designed a Gatling Gun, Hot Toys, can you modify it and make us a Blaine figure? Pretty please?

The easiest way, when you take the head off, inside you'll see a round plug that the ball joint goes into, with a little work to pry the glue holding it in, and it's not too much work, may want to dip the head in some really hot water to soften it up first, you pop that plug out and plop the head back on the figure. Some people have trimmed the plug and put it back in, I'm sure that holds the head on better, but I've found the head wraps around the neck good enough to stay in place without the plug at all and the end result is the same, but no permanent things done so if you ever needed to sell him or anything, you could put the plug back in and it'd be just like it was when you got him.

There's a couple of ways to do it, this is one of them but by no means the only way:

I wouldn't have bothered getting that replaced. He looks unnatural with his head turned to the side anyway.

As I said in my original post:

Here's a better pic of the neck hole. His head is way too far to the side in the pic, but it makes it easier to photograph the hole. The hole is evident in all but straight forward or very slightly off to the side and it's bothering the hell out of me.

It was very noticeable in most natural poses but the replacement has no issues whatsoever. I'm very glad I asked for a replacement.

ok, being a ar-15 toting gun guy, i'm obligated to point this out.

dutch carries a 1980's m-16 with m203 gl.
so why does the upper receiver have a removable style carry handle on a picatinny rail?
that modification didn't even see prototype until the mid 90's

i know it's such minor almost un-noticeable issue. maybe i'll do same sanding and filling.

One quick and crappy pic. Predator 2 and Elder Predator 2 are at Les's being fully repainted.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Very nice collection you have there Neehar!!!!!!!!!!


Can't wait to see what Les does to your things!

 

[Reinhardt]

Thanks Seth!! When things settle down a bit here, and I'll take some more detailed pics. I fully weathered the gun on Dutch and I think it looks much better. Also did the dedguy mask custom and widened it. Looks fantastic and as simple as it is, it took me forever to get him in that pose.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I wish I woulda pulled the thumb outa my ass and PO this guy when i had the chance.

I can't wait to see the pics of the gun neehar, I also like the work you did on Wolf.

 

[Reinhardt]

Thanks bro, a repaint I am quite proud of, especially the canons.

Is Predator 1 not available anywhere now?

 

[nicky]

Wolf and Lost look great posed like that , Reindhart!!!

 

[wookster]

Very nice set up Reinhardt, I really need to get more of my Preds out permanently instead of constantly rotating... but I need more SPACE!

Is that the basic IKEA case? Are you happy with it? I was considering picking up a couple for my figs.

Looks lithe IKEA one to me - I picked one up a few months ago and love it - plenty of room for each figure and it looks really classy. It has a hole in the top for a light if you wish. I got some of those lights with a sticky back *dot-its* i think and they light in brilliantly. the glass cabinet was only about £30

Thank you! It must have taken me HOURS to get them posed like that.

Space is such an issue! Part of the reason why we are now looking to move to a bigger place.

Yes, that is the DETOLF that a lot of people have. Goes for around $60. Fantastic price. Only two things I don't like are that the shelves aren't adjustable, and that the case doesn't come any wider. Still, they look great, and are practically built for 1/6 scale figs.
