Since someone has already posted this, I might as well post my problems I've encountered with them. (My friend opened a Scar Predator and also encountered almost the identical problems with his own figure.)
There are dried superglue overflows in the two of the shoulder cannons arm bracket?s joints, a superglue hideous run on the inside of the right arm wrist blade, a dried drop of glue on the inner left hip (terminally paralyzing the swivel of the left leg!), and another super glue run down on the back from the spear?s attachment onto the backpack (This has made the chest joint useless.).
The dark metallic grey is poorly brushed on the armour and has left countless exposed patches of unfinished black surfaces on the backpack, shoulder cannon and wrist blades.
Within the open ball joints of the hips, left hand the transparent material of the plastic is clearly visible as the joints were not completely painted. (Also the inner shoulder joints were left in a flat dark brown.)
The small pockets on the back of the belt which should have been painted brown or some form of a leather colour were left in the metallic grey finish of the armour.
On the edges of the top border of the Celtic Predator?s helmet, there are substantial chips, revealing the plastic.
The spear of the backpack has been glued bent, both wrist blades over the right hand are completely out of line, and adjusting them caused them to break off from the visible super glue joints!
Each of the 4 joints of the shoulder cannon?s arm bracket are loose, making it impossible to pose the cannon. The movable bracket underneath the cannon?s barrel is poorly glued together where the centre seam is visible open, and hence it continuously slides off the cannon.
Instead of painted caps at the knees hedge on the sides, a horrible hollow cylindrical rod is clearly visible; basically destroying the appearance of the figure?s sculpt.
After the pillars were cancelled on the Predator?s base, there are still present the holes of the initial design on the remains of the given base. On the Scar Predator?s base, it?s even a greater disappointment as there is an unpainted square with a border ridge around it.
With or without the base, my Predator figure cannot stand up as one of the hips is completely loose.
And don't get me started on the inaccuracies of the Predator figures compared to the trailers/released images, etc and the way the Predator 2 body was recycled!
