Oh ok. I'll have to try that as Elder Predator is known to have very fragile joints that break easily. He's the one Predator that has me worried the most about undoing from his packaging.
I opened my Snake Predator package today. The right knee just didn't want to move initially but it's ok now.
I don't doubt that it gets to 130 in Phoenix. I've seen those dust storms are really flaring up on the news, bad stuff man.
I am currently experimenting with Protech stands to help keep my Predators from falling over. The stands I'm using were made for pre-1995 Star Wars 3.75" figures but Predator was also listed. So far they seem to be working well on all of them except for my unmasked City Hunter Predator, he still wants to tip over occasionally. His ankle joints don't seem to have any staying power.
I am using two stands each for each figure, one for each foot. It just didn't seem safe to only use one stand for just one foot.
(edit) Here's the link for the stands I'm using.

You have to buy 20 of them to meet their minimum $7.50 requirement but if you have a lot of Predators that shouldn't be a big deal.
