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

[MaulFan]

Ok, can anyone articulate things clearly when trying to post things for public knowledge. Eddie's first comment reads like the figure comes with a film already placed on the inside of the shirt to prevent the problem, now this latest post reads like he has to put it there himself. He makes no sense what he's doing with his figure.

Lotta luck selling it, he'll be lucky to get half what he paid with it leaking, unless he hides that fact from his buyer.

I think he means the second body. The one he has standing with the DX Joker. He bought two figures at the beginning.

Unfortunately, I do not want to keep 2 Batman DX figures anymore. Too stressful. I will sell off this new figure. I will try this ‘transparent film between belly and pants’ method on my other greasy figure and see if it clears up the oil.

Where'd you get this quote from Eddie, the text on his blog doesn't read the same.

I find his reaction surprising, sounds like the film isn't working for his replacement, so why bother trying on the other one that's already been leaking for awhile, if it can't cure one from the start I highly doubt it'll fix one that's been riddled with the problem for some time.

 

[vodoun]

I think he's reached the stage with so much frustration he's willing to try anything. So he's nothing to lose.

 

[MaulFan]

I suppose, can't blame him, especially since he got that horribly warped head too.

I can't get over how a product or one of their flagship products has turned into nothing but a disaster. I could understand if this was a MMS figure but something as big as Batman and part of the deluxe line ends up a total flop. There's just no excuse for it.

They seem to be approaching it like, we ____ed up, let's move on.

My Third Batch figure has been great. I think HT should replace bodies

I am suprised to be honest the amount of intelligent people here that you thought it may be any different.

The signs have been there for me from the very early stages that they would just fob this off!

They are market leader and they know this, why are they going to incurr huge recall costs when they damn well know people will be flocking in their droves to buy t-800, aldo raine, clash of the titans etc etc

They get all the best licences and they 99% of the time do an amazing job. Market arrogance!

This flawless figure that shows fishy signs of glistening? #7657 The one thats been taken so far away?

This is what happen to mine bottom part of the suit is melting. Definitely not glue marks coz front part was never glued. So contact between these 2 parts and chemical reaction is the culprit.

Is it gooey at all?

I agree. Its pretty ____ing ridiculous!Also it's pretty funny how we havent gotten any valid responses from HT. I was looking forward to this figure too. What a waste!

the rubber? no, but at this rate if it didn't stop i might end up with a hole on the suit

I've decided to cancel my pre-order for one of the third wave figures and instead upgrade my 1st version with the Pers head and one or two other loose bits. It's too much of a risk for me to waste £150 on.

 

[Johnnyr]

My 3rd batch figure is perfect I ended up ordering two more from the same guy in Hong Kong because he rushes me all my figures.

Good thinking pal. Wish i'd done the same. Buy the pers head, belt and sticky gun and i think you'll be reet.
Saying that, for all the greasy crap oozing from my figure, its still an awesome piece.
Now i've got about 15 figures with rubber bodies and while they look great, there's still HUGE question marks over their longevity. As such i'm now finding myself shying away from buying any more

 

[dinohenry]

Dino are you 100% sure that figure is from the third batch?

I´m not so sure right now
I think, maybe, the seller fool me with the second batch
Damn it
