It means the plastic is crap and it's bound to happen to a good portion of them. It's similar to the God Of War figures released a few years back. The joints were made from a brittle orange plastic and snapped frequently. Two of the three I bought broke in a matter of days. This isn't the first time they've had this problem and may not be the last.

Kinda weird tho, because my Classic 87 Pred is as good as it can get. Only the elder had the frozen joints that broke. One of my Berzerkers had the same problem. I like the added articulation, don't get me wrong, but its just like a car engine. The more moving parts, the more potential break downs.

You said it.It seems like back when toys had 5 points of articulation they were more durable But i freaking love articulation in figures its like having statues that pose.

X2. That is why I chose to buy figures over maquettes or statues. I can pose them and they look just as bad ass.... especially Hot Toys,

My reasoning exactly! Why pay three or four hundred extra bucks when you have something like that. Action figures make sense to me.

I'm agreeing with everyone here but mostly this bacause for me its impossible to get these to make it worse those things taunt me.lol!they do.

well, it's kinda obvious. statues are outrageously expensive, while the standard of manufacturing them is just a bit higher than action figures. just look at neca's 7" tracker figure and sideshow's tracker maquette. this is sick. how can anyone pay a price like this for a not as detailed sculpt and terrible paintjob?

Which figure you talking about the 7 inch figure or maquette?

He's talking about how brutally bad the statue / maquette was, and very expensive to get a sloppy paint job, versus the decent detail on the NECA 7" for about a 20th of the price.

I figured because that maqette got some horrible reviews.

On Amazon the 7 inch 87 pred got a bad review too because i guess people dont know that you can contact Neca.

When you're in your 50s there will be a lot of better quality figures out there, and NECA's figures will be cheap like Kenner these days
I don't know if I can wait that long.

I want at least 11, and preferably ball joints as often as possible. I want to be able to have these hunters squatting on a tree limb or able to look like a Narin kit
