Hot Toys Predator assembly

I'm having problems getting one of the arms to snap into place. I've tried for 1/2 hour so far. It's just not going to go.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Never mind. Got it. I just had to file it down some.

Took me 3 hours to put this thing together. It was my first one.

I got my son an elder predator for christmas one year and hated every second of putting it together, especially getting that netting on. I told him he'd never get another.

You know, it looks that way to me as well. It looks like his bum is in the front.

No, no. I just went and checked. He the right way.
(thank god)

It just looks like his bum is in the front in this pic. When you see him with the naked eye, he looks fine.

Nice work Fremen , it's better to take your time
when building these Hot toys preds 'cause you could easily break something !
I got my first pred a couple of months ago , the most
difficult part for me was getting the head on the body(had to use a hair dryer to heat up the plastic)
The wolf pred:

Nice!!

I've got to get a few more of these.

I think I heard somewhere if you dip parts in boiling water (for how long, I have no idea) that it helps get parts on.

I sure had a hard time with that arm.
