^Mine hasnt...

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Well, not ALL the paint, but some. Mostly around the mandibles. It has on mine atleast.

 

[Furious1]

That sucks. Do you take it on/off alot?

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

I haven't put it on since... I think it was around last Summer. I got it November 2009, first time I put it on it somehow bent up the lip-like part above the upper left mandible and scratched the paint off it. Second time I tried putting it on, it scratched off some paint on the cheek area.
Hate the damn Bio.

I can't even get my bio mask on. It just doesn't fit. Is this a common problem, or am I doing something wrong? I'm able to put on the masks on the Lost and Berserkers just fine...

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Lost is the easiest, P1 is the worst.
What you need to do is use a hairdryer on it until it gets soft enough to stretch out a bit over the face. I did that with Mr. Black too just to be safe.

 

[lerath666]

just take the mandibles off before putting the mask on. it also fits better without them on.

 

[abouttreefitty]

I've tried with and without the mandibles, and it doesn't even come close to going on. Going to try the hairdryer. Thanks!

 

[Mr. EcKo]

yeah i had the sam elittle problem with min , the little flap on the right side of his lips would bend up when the open mandibles were on

so i just pushed it a little bit down and put the closed mandibles on wiith the bio and now it seems like it fixed itself

 

[greygoose]

Keep the bio off. It looks better without it on

 

[Kiva]

I have a little... problem getting the bio on. But little as in i need to take about 10 seconds trying to get it on and thats it.

Whats kind of fun is that the 1:6 bio i have that fits P1 best is the berserker

But as greygoose said it can look better without the bio at all

^^ I prefer the a open-mandible HS w/ the bio-mask off to show how menacing this monster is!

How did you get them down?

 

[Kiva]

I got my dreads down on my lost and P1 a couple of days ago it only took a very short time. Blow dry the dreads for a good few minutes then tie an elastic band over the dreads hugging them tight to the head and living the figure alone for a while

 

[viruz777]

won't that leave marks on the dreads?

 

[Kiva]

Nope... well it didnt on mine. I just got them nice and hot for a minute or so ( took about a minuite to heat them up then just made sure i went all around the back of the head with the dryer getting all the dreads for another 1-2 mins ) i didnt spend excessive time on them or focus too long in one spot i didnt want any meltage.Tied them down for a hour or so and took the elastic band off and it was sorted. Suprisingly easy

Nice pic

Thanks greygoose!!!! haha just realised you were on the classic predator thread as well

 

[ah_t00t]

How did you get them down?

I did the hot water technique, don't use wires they will definately leave marks or cuts on them, the dreads were pretty stiff for both of them when i got it, i tie them using my gf's hairband those wool types soaked them in a bowl of hot water and turn them around for awhile then immediately splash water till cool to avoid deform. I did this alot like 5 or 6 times until i felt comfortable the dreads are loosen then i use the hairdryer to blow them for awhile (not directly and not too long) then cold water and left to dry. At the same time i think it washes away whatever factory coats as well so that it doesn't grow mold or anything if you are planning to leave it in the box.

Hope that helps!!!
