DX02 residue in abdominal area, has yours shown signs of it?

[klocket]

I would be calm too if I was like some of you and was getting a replacement. I don't enjoy losing my temper but the figure cost me 165 pounds. That is not something I take lightly, and now I have to go to all this effort to get a replacement, when I have other worries to deal with

Anyway according to hot toys they can't even see my videos.

I think handling it your way is probably the best way, albeit a little emotionally charged...however, video looks better than pics and you get more angles and such.

I would be pretty ticked too to be honest...i know when i got my bank robber joker he was missing a button and part of his machine gun was broken...i shot them an email and didn't receive a reply for MONTHS and by that point i had already bought replacements off ebay.

And at the end of the day, THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM and should fix the older ones accordingly if they want to keep customers happy and coming back...It's obvious that DinoLast has been a repeat business type of customer and therefore give the guy a break and fix it!

Dinolast, have you been posting this on their facebook page at all for others to see?

You get my serious respect Dino. Alot of the American collectors don't realize what us international freaks have to deal with in terms of taxes and conversion rates. If half the people telling you to calm yourself sat down and figured out the conversion rate, they would realize why you were so flippin mad. Spending almost $250 US on this figure, only to have it dissolve in your hand is unnacepptable. It gets me mad just thinking about it

Just like to point out that everybody who didn't purchase from the DCD run is an "international" freak as far as this figure's concerned, bud.

I'm gonna point out that I bought from the first batch, paid $300 U.S. for it to get it early, and was the first person on the board to report the leaking abs issue. From early January to mid-April, I worked with the figure, which was leaking badly enough to require cleaning on an hourly basis, to fix the issue (which I eventually did, somehow) and didn't freak out about it once.

My advice would be to take pictures and send them to HT, because with all the internet restrictions in China, it's entirely possible they can't view Youtube videos. I really don't know. Take a deep breath, snap a few pictures, and re-send your request with the pictures and receipt.

Yeah I have done that.
I might add that I have not been rude in any of my emails, plus apart from my raised voice I was not insulting to them.
I am a big fan of the company and all I want is for the matter to be resolved.

i was the one who said to dino to calm down and I'm not in the USA. I live in Germany and I know those horror shipping-costs + taxes + fees etc etc. But STILL it's a figure and they have not said that they wont replace his dx body at all. They only asked him to send them some pics instead of a video.

As crow said, China have some restrictions. I don't think that this is also in Hong Kong, but still the company maybe don't allow their workers to visit sites like youtube etc, so they can't see those videos.

I've asked Hot Toys also for a replacement and they told me that they WONT change my body, so my case was clearer. Sure I was pissed off, but yeah, ____ happens. I've gone then the Facebook-route and now they're replacing my body.

Just re-send them the pics and this problem will be solved.

ahhh good point.

I never understood how US distributors could sell these figures at 150 each with free shipping....

That is definitely not the case here in Canada.

 

[Balsquat]

Man your shipping costs must be enormous.

I wonder if this is still the same issue everyone's had with previous DX02 figures, or if perhaps, this is left-over oil that they coat the TT's in to slip on the suit.

NOOO!! is the pants go the boots, you can see all the oil inside the legs.

 

[Jokes & Bats]

i think thats like the lube they use to help put the boots onto the figure no need to worry

 

[thenammagazine]

NOOO!! is the pants go the boots, you can see all the oil inside the legs.

I hear what you're saying, but standing would give gravity the ability to pull it down, into the boots. I'd suggest giving it all a good wipe and wait and see if more reappears. It really does sound like the lube they use vs. the deteriorating suit bud.

 

[Balboa]

I get mine yesterday from an American ebay seller.
I forget to ask but I think its the DCD batch, the price seems that way.
Hope I get the third batch.

I think we are experts now as to how the residue effecting the first few DX02 shipments look like so best is to post some postures of your entire bat in the different sections and let your freaks help you by understanding your problem

[Hydeous]

WTF happened there^

HT was being a _____ when I sent the first pic of mine, telling me that they need clearer pic.

After sending a second pic, they said that its not oily enough.

I re send them the same pic, the next day and saying that how can they not see the oil, when its leaking so bad that you can use it to fry food.

Thats when they give me the confirmation to send the body, and they are sending me the new body soon.

 

[EKT]

See the cracks in my first pic? That wasn't there until I looked at the figure last nite. If you squeeze the ab, oil just seeps through it. The second pic shows that the inside of the suit is starting deteriorate. SUX!
