On the issue of someone investing in the originals. I’ll tell you what ,if you have them with out breakage issues, then you have the weight of gold.

To say I've been blessed would be an understatement. The ones that are removed from the packaging in my home have undergone extensive heat treatments to get things unstuck, and thankfully, nearly all of them survived. Out of 60 or 70 Yautja figures I have, I've only had breakage issues with 3 or 4 of them on the figures themselves, and all but one were easily fixable with the majority of the issues being with the wristblades. (The wristblades are actually quite easy to fix once you figure out how they are set in the gauntlet, though...you'll need take a set from another figure in order to do so.)

The things that break the most (and I hope NECA sees this somehow, because this has needed to be fixed for years...) are the spears. They need to be constructed better, and preferably out of a softer, more durable plastic. I'll gladly take a floppy spear that I need to reheat every now and again to make it straight, over a super thin piece of hardened plastic that breaks the first time you try to place it inside a figure's hand. Of course, half the time, the spears themselves aren't assembled or glued correctly to begin with, meaning your stuck with a crooked, fragile spear that no amount of heat can straighten out anyways. I'm looking at that sniper rifle that the prototype Scout is being pictured with, and I find myself cringing, because I know I'm more than likely never going to be able to stick that beautiful weapon into his hands without tempting fate.

I could also could do without those hoses on the armor. I've actually cut them off on purpose on one or two of my older Jungle Hunters because they're simply a nuisance to the articulation. I get that they are there for accuracy, but surely there has to be a better way of doing them. Hasbro and Mafex found ways to do it with their various Mandalorian figures over the years, so it might be something as simple as copying and pasting from the work of others.
