The flaw is only obvious if you're holding the figure an inch from your nose, so who cares?

My vintage McFarlane predator is still the most screen-accurate that I have seen up to this point. The helmet sculpt and other details are flawless. Pity that the figure has practically no articulation!

That's good to know. He's mostly going to be displayed fighting with MKX Sub-Zero on top of my TV cabinet so slightly off paint apps shouldn't be too big of a deal.

I used to have the McFarlane Predator 2 and even though I thought it was kind of wonky articulation wise I sill loved it a lot. Unfortunately it broke a good while ago which is why I've been wanting the NECA version since they announced it.
