I have DX from 2nd batch back in around January/Feb 2009.
When I open the box, I could see large amount of oil in bisep (under shoulder pad) and Belt area.
* I also notice 1 part has been eaten by oily, its the Tricep area, lucky me it is unticeable because it is covered by Bat Cape.
This is due to the oil under the plastic cover cannot escape, so that the soft plastic became Bubbling. This case I use small needle to release the oil that is trapped under. DONE.
Then I read some advice, and done good things to DX:
1. Wipe all oil
2. Loosen the belt and put it slightly below abs area. I also put tiny piece of soft cloth under the belt.
3. Lift the shoulder pad and put tissue towel inside so that the kevlar not touching the rubber of the bissep.
For couple of week Oil secretion became slower, and almost stop.
Right now, after 4-5 months, oil not a problem anymore, its dry on the abs also on the bisep and tricep or under shoulder pad/kevlar armor. Never wipe/notice any oil since.
The Key is:
* Plastic cannot touch the rubber, Or Platic cannot touch plastic(with different material). Put thin cloth/tissue in between.
* Put DX in normal room temprature, not too hot or too cold.
* Play once a month with the DX, make a little pose here and there so that the rubber not gettin hard and cracks, rubber must be exercised all the time.
It will be fine guys, no need to worry, afterall DX2 is awesome, the best figure I've ever seen.
Even the DX2 became rotten, it also good for collection, its Battle Damage version, it will be unique, and maybe the next 2 years.. HT realease another DX Batman, surely it will be better, and surely I will buy it again.
DX2 is the best no matter what.
