Trouble with Scar's is that as soon as I took him out of the box and flipped up his caster holder, it snapped like a twig. I super-glued it back on which worked, but b/c the leg joints can be flimsy, he fell over one too many times and broke again :-[

Hi all! I haven't been on here in a while, the end of my summer was busy, changed jobs had to move, I'm pretty much set up now.

If anyone remembers I posted in a thread about my NECA Wolf falling off of a bookcase and snapping his leg, at the time I suspected the dog knocked the shelf and that caused it. Well I bought a new one, I waited a while to open it because I knew I was moving and I didn't want to have to re-package anything I didn't have to. Well I've been moved a month so I decided to open it up.

I open up the new Wolf and his leg is broke!!!! :o I'm shocked >:( two Wolf's with broken legs. So now I'm wondering if the other Wolf didn't have a weak knee joint too, and it snapped and that is why it fell, if you have a NECA Wolf  keep an eye on your Wolf's knee joints. It was the same leg too.  Wolf's left leg. ???  So I won't be buying any more Predator's from NECA, not if they are designed the same way.


I have one more unopened masked Wolf, the other two were unmasked, here's crossing my fingers he isn't broke too!!

Better safe than sorry dude, leave em in the box. Same thing happened to my Cloaked Wolf.

And ya, welcome back! I did notice you'd been gone for some time :)

Leave them in the package? HERESY!
Free them from their tiny plastic prisons!

No. I was worried about their quality degrading if I took them out of their boxes which in some cases has happened like I already mentioned earlier.

and you buy portraits with pictures of other people and dont take the photo out .... because your own photos might degrade in color so... why use it???



Also... what would you do if you buy a HotToys figure... leave it on its box...??

I was referring to losing small items or parts breaking off, not so much colour fading.

Thanks! Yeah I have three theories on this, either they were forced into the packaging, they are made out of weak plastics, or the knee joints are designed wrong. Or all three!

I had that happen with my first NECA Alien I bought. Took it out of the package, and the knees snapped right off. I didn't even apply pressure, they just broke.
I exchanged it the next day for a new one, and haven't had any problems since.

I don't think NECA has very good quality control.
