Do something preventive now. i was sure nothing was going to happen to mine. I was actually quite cocky about it

You can add me to the list of people who's dome has started to disintegrate. Id been checking it regularly and it always looked fine. On Saturday, a week after checking it last, i noticed the cracking had started. I applied mod podge straightaway. Im in the uk, Ed has been on display since July...

Don't anyone worry about replying, it did dry clear, just took a bit longer to go clear than I thought. Panic over!

My mod podge is still white, it does dry clear doesn't it?

A sad day today!! Just checked my ed209 and the cracking has started. Been on display, out of sunlight since July. Having to start the mod podge straightaway as the cracks are small at the moment.

Thanks, found a guide last night and sure enough it looked very easy. Went to my mancave to measure up and realised i cant actually fit the ikea unit in there. Gutted!!! i can only fit a cabinet in there that would fit two 1/4 figures, not three. I guess ill have to continue my search.

That looks really good. Im a novice so if i brought one of those units are they easy to to modify like you have?

No cracks on mine. Have some mod podge at the ready, just as a precaution. No need to apply it though as Ed looks as good as the day i took him out the box.

My dome is still fine 8 weeks in. i would like to do some preventative measures though. I have some mod podge but this Honda grease sounds good. Does anyone know what a uk equivalent is? i cant find any reasonably priced shin-etsu grease over here.

Received my ed 6 weeks ago. Havent done anything to him yet and dome is still pristine condition!

I agree, i didnt even realise it was going to be rubber again. When i opened the box, first thing i thought was WOW! then i saw the rubber dome and thought "holy crap, they did it again"!! I really thought they would have gone down the route Neca took with a plastic dome. Even the plastic dome...

Id also like to add, whilst i agree that its terrible that there are problems with this, its not uncommon for toys to have issues. All of my neca 1/4 scale figures, i picked by hand in stores and checked all of their paintwork. quite a few new releases have had sloppy paintwork. the were reports...

Not at all. I had brought mine before I was aware of any issues. If I had known, I wouldn't of brought it. I'm stuck with it, I may as we'll enjoy it. I'm prepared if anything does happen to it. Otherwise he's taking pride of place next to robo.

My ED209 is now 3 weeks old. No sign of cracking yet. i have a tub of mod podge ready for the first sign of deterioration. Gotta admit, i do love it. there's no way i could send it back. I'm prepared to fix it if necessary.

thank you Im a novice when it comes to rubber. What made you choose silicone over the other options?

So far we have had silicone mod podge 303 aerospace protectant. for an ed209 that has yet to crack, what is the best fix to start with? the 303?

I was one of those people. I had no idea there was a problem. I only found out about it because I was having trouble with the remote and wanted to see if any one else was. I remember v1 having problems and was really shocked to find out v2 was having exactly the same problem.

My ed209 yesterday Already came looking like it had been coated with something

My ed209 finally arrived with me in the uk today! All looks good so far but im toying with the idea of greasing him up Im also going to buy shares in mod podge. I think sales are gonna go through the roof

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers Iron man repaint!! Could someone help me out with this please. i managed to pick up a 1/4 iron man that had very little paint defects. The chest plate has gone a shade of pink though. What color do i use to match it to the rest of the figure? i just want to tape off...
