Man I love this figure the more I see pictures. Anyone know where I can get just the bio helmet. I've got the BD figure on PO, but I want to have the full mask and I'm leaning towards the v1 figure more but I'd love to have the best of both.

Just got mine. Awesome figure, excpet for the fact mine has 2 freaking right biceps.

I have tried to pop the buckle in the back in several times. It will reach but pops out every time.

Jamal I also want to thank you for talking sense into me. Well un-knowingly that is. You said you weren't that keen on your AVP figures anymore. I kinda wanted to buy some now that I have this. I will just now buy the elder from P2. No sense buying figures from a movie that wasn't as good as the originals. Now if only I could button the mans cod piece. LOL!

Your a smart man, i still have my Scar and my unassembled Elder and Chopper

Yeah I mean they are cool and all. I would just rather buy stuff that I remember from my childhood. Thats why I collect really in the first place. I purchase things that make me remember watching them for the first time.

Yeah dude good choice, these new Preds are far superior in quality than the first release of AVP Preds

I really like it! It was really a pain to put together. I mean really!

If you thought that was a pain in the ass man the AVP ones will make you wanna pump yourself in the head with a 22

The only reason i have the AVP ones is because i am indeed Predator crazy

Since I started getting these I picked up some tricks to assembling them.

1. Hair Dryer: For softening up pieces for easier assembling e.g. head and armor parts. elongating belts. etc

2. Black Electrical tape: For fastening down the ends of the net suit when putting on the gauntlets and shin armor so the net suit wont ride up.

3. Paper or thin pieces of card board: Wrap them around the knees of the figure prior to putting on the knee pads. Makes sliding the knee pads up easier since its not fidgeting with the netting. Once its in place (the knee pads) just rip them off (the paper or the cardboard pieces)

Good luck and dont over heat the pieces. They might warp the dread locks ( on P2 and P2 elder) or you might loosen whatever adhesive they used to stick the dreads on the head (which is an easy fix anyways)

Nice tip on the netting actually

Thanks for the tips. Now how the hell do you keep the button fastened on the Predator two figure. The belt button that is.

You can try a dab of super glue if all else fails
