So I picked up the entire Series 2 of the Hot Toys USCM figures (Ripley, Hudson & Drake) and have finally gotten around to assembling them (shame shame on me I know).

Anywho, I finished Ripley & Hudson and was just putting the finishing touches on Drake (moving his arm so it could grip the smartgun) and HIS HAND SNAPPED OFF !!!

The Ripley & Hudson figures had no problem with their arms articulating to this position (they all use ball joints) and I'm very angry that this happened on such a great figure.

The handle for the smartgun also snapped off too !!
Double

I'll probably use a small drill bit to make a hole in the arm and hand and use wire to give that "true articulation" that he needs to grip the smartgun.

Hopefully this will do the trick

I bask in your geeky glory....

However...I am sorry for the breaking of your toy.

Hope you wear some sunscreen when basking in my geekiness

TOY?!?!?!?
ITS AN ACTION FIGURE!!!!!:lol:

Actually I think for us its more like a role model (except in the breaking of the hand).
We all strive to be more like the action figures

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

He's fixed !!!

I almost lost him on the operating table, but he's good to go now !!!

Got a wire installed in his arm so it's fully articulated.

I forgot to take pics. Sorry.

Drake, as it turns out, is not very photogenic
