will be recieving my hot toys predalien

[Elder_Predator2]

Yes, what is that from? I've seen it before.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Yeah she's a keeper:

I'm quite thankful that all the joints are tight. Considering the way she stands (pressure on the ankles), it's great that the joints are very tight.

I'll try to get more pics in later.

Those are nice pictures.

A word to the wise:

Don't play around with the Predalien's left mandibles too much.
They have a tendency to become loose and unable to hold a pose.

Ahhh...so it is not just mine, then.

Star Trek First Contact. That is Zephram Cochrane in the first warp drive ship. Great Movie!

Yeah I noticed.

Also, does your PA's right pair of mandibles seem as if they aren't in the ball socket all of the way, and they pop out?

 

[plasmid303]

Yeah her mandibles won't stand too much playing around with, but they do seem to be ball jointed, so if they get loose I'll try a dab of super glue and work the joint until it's tight again. At least, IF it's a true ball joint.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

You mean where the pair of mandibles meet the mouth? If so then yeah, it is a true Ball joint.

 

[FACEBOX]

Yeah, that superglue idea might work for you EP2.

As for the loose mandibles... there's a screw just opposite of the ball-joint seen in EP2's pix. It's under the "meaty" part, so be careful. However, after tightening it, the loose mandible problem will be solved.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I was just wondering, but does anybody else's PA have this happening?

The tendons' paint is peeling when stress is applied.
Is there anything I can do to help them, prevent this from happening?

 

[FACEBOX]

DAMN!
Looks like you got a P.A. that's rough around the edges!
Mine doesn't have that.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

After a close inspection I found that my entire PA has little peels, mainly around the joints.
I'm torn between returnig her, which will look really bad because I already asked for a replacement whip because mine came broken,(the wire was broken in 1 spot) or keep her and keep looking for a cure, or a way to prevent it from further happening.
Does anyone know if this ArmorAll stuff will help protect the rubber and the PAINT? I know it protects the rubber.

 

[rivera2171]

The only way to stop the paint from peeling is to stop extending her jaw.The paint cant stretch as far as the rubber can.ArmorAll wont help the paint problem.For the price these run I would try to get a replacement.The worst they can say is no.The best they can say is yes.Where did you buy her from?

And the thing is I don't use the jaw at all except for the pictures I took, I think I will ask for a replacement, I just don't want to send her back.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Rivera, do you know if any of the Testor's clear coats will work?

 

[8th wonder]

Muuuuch to expensive for that kind of trouble. That sucks, i would ask for a replacement.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Okay, I'll see how I feel tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Are we serious? At over $200.00 shipped, Hot toys PAINTED The rubber on this figure instead of molding it in color?

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Yep, it's painted.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Yep, it's painted.

Suddenly I feel a lot of pain...I think I need a supository.
