They aren't made of rubber but they are a little flexible.

It's possible I'm sure but likely something else would break first.

Cannon, shoulders, pretty much any of it probably :P But yeah those would probably be the weakest I'd guess? Like I said they are a little flexible so some pressure against them probably won't break them.

I lucked out on this piece! I was late to the game, it was sold out on prime1 and sideshow. BBTS had one available, the open-mouth version, my favourite of the four. I snapped that up the second I saw it! Was meant to be.
I am happy with it. I only need one predator statue in my collection, will happily stick with this one. I got the city hunter bust on order too. Although, from what I have seen so far, that one may need a repaint.
I wish they would also do an AVP bust, movie trio would look awesome! I just don't have room for the 1/3 statues.
Now onto the bad.
1. A paint chip on the head
2. wax paper stuck to a dread. I was thinking of just using water and a sponge to get it off.
3. Two of the quills have white epoxy over them.
Fortunately, problems 1, 2 and 3 are out of line of sight, so I can live with them. Poor show though, I expect better from prime1.
The chip and wax problems are on the same dread. I don't see how it could have happened in transit; it's not a good look for prime1 QC.
Overall, I am happy with the sculpt, am going to stick with this one.
Congratulations to everyone who got one.

Could not find the chip on your picture, but a lot around dreads is black anyway, so you can paint it semi gloss black.
All the pieces of white (wax paper) stuck to dreads and bust (i had them too) can easily be removed with some warm water and rubbing with finger (dope finger and thumb in glas of water). The moist is enough to release them.

Thank you, the led doesn't work on my "damaged" version of the bio. It's probably too late to expect sc to do anything about it now. I should have checked sooner. I don't really use that mask, but still.
I couldn't even get the batteries in the gauntlet so I had no idea if that works. So fiddly.
