Easily one of my favorite Predator figures ever, and it's nuts that it comes from such an obscure source. But whatever, it's awesome...such a creepy design, and I love the backstory they came up with for the character.

Also, my Serpent Hunter actually has pretty snug hips, so that doesn't appear to be a widespread issue across the line, thankfully. He stands and holds poses without any issues.

Unfortunately, what DOES appear to be a widespread issue is a defect in the head/mask where the top right tooth in the Predator's mask is actually broken off. On the vast majority of these figures I've seen at retail and on ebay, almost all of them have this problem. My Serpent Hunter has a full grill (as does yours, Joe, so we're fortunate), but I found a pic on Google of one with the broken tooth problem:


I was lucky enough to happen upon a freshly-packed out case of Serpent Hunters at my local TRU, but even out of six on the peg only ONE of them didn't have the broken tooth (which is obviously the one I bought)...the other five DID.

However, NECA, in their usual awesomeness, is offering replacement heads to people whose figure has this issue. Just contact their customer service department and they'll hook you up. A friend of mine did and they shipped him a new SH head pretty quickly...apparently they ordered a batch of new heads from whatever factory they get their stuff from, as the head he got was in a sealed baggie. Just thought I'd pass this along.
