There really are sweet figures in that wave. I was also tempted to pick up Hornhead, but for some reason he didn't grab me in-person.

I did see one on the shelf where the elbow plastic near the peg was starting to split, so that got me worried. But again, just be gentle and all should be fine. I bent the elbows on mine carefully and I had no issues.

Another warning- Machiko's wristblades are delicate as fuck. Again, I had no issues pulling 'em out and retracting them, but as with the elbows, just be careful.

Bummer about Machiko's backpack not being removable though that is certainly not a dealbreaker for me.

Yeah, that was odd to me...I really expected it to be removable, but it doesn't budge. But as you said, it's certainly not a dealbreaker...however, don't expect her to be able to turn her head much. The attached plasma caster combined with her long hair makes that difficult.

Overall, however, Machiko is a beautiful figure, and really looks awesome in a Predator display.

That said, I had ZERO issues or concerns with Broken Tusk. I did see one at retail that bizarrely seemed to have some sort of condensation (?!?) inside the plastic packaging, and parts of the figure literally appeared to be wet (?!?!?), but the one I grabbed is absolutely perfect in every way. Well, his wrist blades are a tiny bit loose and slide in and out of their wrist gauntlet fairly easily, but that's just nit-picking.
