Post subject:  Drake Broke His Hand !!!
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 !!! :evil:

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 :evil:

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 :roll:

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 ;)

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 :D
