Don't be so harsh on the Bad Blood Predator. He's not a blood thirsty maniac out to kill everything like you stated...he is simply just collecting DNA to further the evolution of his own species.

This is an easy pass for me as I have both of the originals as is, and having seen this up front in the stores I'm not really wild about the new masked and unmasked head sculpts.

Also, I'm not saying that you are being untruthful, however I'd be curious to know what your definition of "paint locking" is. Nearly every Predator that I have purchased (since they moved to this upgraded body) over the last two years (with the Jungle Demon and recent Thermal Predator being the lone exceptions) has had a paint locking issue on at least one of the joints where I've had to apply a dense amount of heat and gently (as well as with a degree of anxiety) move the joint until that paint tore, allowing me to move the joint. This is an issue you seemingly never run into.

One a side note, the figures do feel a bit more durable as of late than those that were released on the older body molds.
