Predator Hand Question!

[ItsSinjin]

Hey the joints are popping out of the hands in my predator. Is this normal? if not how do i fix it?

Thanks,
Connor

bump! IM REALLY CONFUSED!!

ok, you mean the posts? If so that might mean you are "playing" with your predator too rough. They really are meant to be posed and looked at. Displayed for use of better words.

i mean that when i try to remove the hands instead of the hand and the joint coming out, just the hand itself pops off of the joint.
its just getting irritating because its starting to make the joints loose.

Try twisting to and fro while pulling it out by the wrist joint. If you have problems, a pair of needlenose will work wonders.

I use pliers but put a towel around the joint to yank it out.

Try not to put too much pressure on the peg. It is connected to the ball via a small piece of plastic and is fragile.

yea.... i realised that. Thank god for superglue cheap prices and shipping! lol

Just outta curiosity, which pred is giving you the problem? One of mine was doing the samething(P2 Lost)

 

[Elder_Predator2]

My Lost also did that. It was kind of weird how the Lost was like that but my AVP weren't.

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

Exactly. My Lost was the only HT Pred I've had problems with.

 

[ItsSinjin]

lol P2 Lost! yea i found that if you push the arm armor forward and squeeze where the peg is in the hand it (sometimes) comes off.
But i already broke a joint on the open hands so i have to buy a whole new one
Im getting a dog alien to go with him. i picked the dog alien because the movies were created in the same timeframe(also bcuz there is no HT Alien 2). Cant wait!

 

[Elder_Predator2]

There is a Hot Toys ALIENS figure...

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

Yeah there is, but for some reason, the Dog has stayed oddly low in price compared to the other HT Aliens.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

The Dog, in my opinion, is the weakest in visual appeal compared to all of the others.

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

Yeah...... Although I really like it for some reason.

 

[ItsSinjin]

lol idk ima ocd perfectionist so i normally go for like if i have P2 Im goin for Alien 2. Get it? lol and i only pose my figs like the pictures when they are alone. but im gonna make like a big predator spaceship on my wall and create a battle scene its gonna be sweet!

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

That does sound really cool. I did something similar with the NECA and Mcfarlane Preds and Aliens. I'll see about digging through my photos to see if I can find 'em. Is it alright if I post them here?

 

[ItsSinjin]

yea sure! post away!
