breakage issues abound. Not sure why this always happens with Aliens toys, but NECA latest line is having big time breakage issues with all 3 figures in wave one. I got rid of my McFarlance Aliens years ago because of breakage problems, the worst was the small arms on the Alien Queen.
Once again it's the brittle/weak joints to blame, same thing happened with NECA's God War Figures years ago. I did open the Alien and had no issues, but my Hicks figure has a very weak right elbow and super loose left ankle. He can't stay standing, might have to glue it shut. Anyway, I know a lot of people want these, and in case you haven't heard, treat them with kids gloves.
