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

[meth head]

HT are a bunch of shi*ters if you ask me!

They should recall the lot, go away and figure out a friggin resolution then start again! Simple!

I am very close to pulling the plug on ever getting any 1/6 figs from them again after this shambolic episode and their handling of it!!!

They'll probably go the tough luck route, but it also seems like they're not going to find a permanent fix on this, so there's not much sense replacing replacements if there isn't a good one.

Won't know for sure until the DCD shipment, but I'm getting the feeling this figure is going to be, it leaks, take it or leave it. If they find a 100% resolution for the DCD and shipout replacements that don't have that solution, they should honor providing a problem free one to people, it's not the customer's fault HT keeps sending them defective products.

It's gonna be leave it for me, and I'm going to take that approach will all their products in the future.

Just canceled my order on the order from the impending DCD batch. I don't want to buy a figure and then have to worry about whether it will leak.

 

[Rorywan]

We have pretty much established that all the Dx02s are faulty yeah?

 

[Johnny Utah]

I'm gutted...was gonna get this figure and all.

I'm gutted i have it

Seriously if i know what you know now i wouldnt have bloody bothered its shambolic!

From Mediworld.

Finally sold the replacement Batman. Before I shipped it to it's new owner today, I opened it to take one last look to see if it was still oil free. The answer is... oil is there. A small amount but clearly shiny wet.

In short, the problem hasn't really been solved. HT today agreed to replace my other DX Bats. Dunno if it's worth it considering the new ones still leak (albeit less) and I gotta swallow the shipping fee to HK...

I would say yeah, I think it's just a matter of time for any of them to show it. Best case seems to be having it less than the earlier figures.

Come on Enterbay make a Dark Knight Batman we can be proud of

So they're planning on ignoring it and hope everyone will get sick of sending in bodies for replacements, and then everyone will go back to buying all their new releases. Disgusting.

I guess Hot Toys can't learn from Toyota. Why _____k up like them. So really Hot Toys is incompetent. Yet they wonder why they get slammed for criticism.

Toyota wont admit the software problem.

Hot Toys wont admit they don't know how to manufacture their own products.

Imagine if Microsoft or Apple pulled that. They create their own operating system but such a major flaw they cannot fix.

Imagine it, their own company makes the products but they can't fix their own mistakes.

Imagine if Sony kept on issuing out exploding batteries. We know they explode but we'll keep making them for laptops.

I'm getting my dx bats tomorrow. Now I've read everything about this "oil" problem and I don't think it's going to bother me too much. I don't mind having to wipe it off daily, the figure look's to be worth the effort.

That being said I'm going to be very surprised to find that it is indeed oil that is leaking. I submit that it can not be oil, it's impossible as there is no source within the figure to provide an infinite (or even months/weeks) amount of leakage. Where is the oil coming from? from what matter is the oil being formed? You see what I mean? If it is not inside the suit then it is not possible to be oil. The only logical explanation is some sort of condensation build up. I guess I'll see for myself tomorrow.

If it is oil then it will eventually stop. It must, it has no choice without a constant source to replenish it.

Badism. Where do you plan on getting yours from?

Hence why they wont do nothing about it. People of your mentality just bend over and accept it.

Care in carrying out the bonding process is needed as thermoplastic rubber is sensitive to solvents in both primers and adhesives, and gentle application and adequate drying times are essential to avoid surface weakening. On the other hand, an extended drying or open time may cause problems of poor tack due to migration of oil from the rubber to the adhesive surface.

You will find out very soon then.
It is certainly not condensation as I have confirmed with my wifes facial oilsheet which does not absorb water. We are not really talking about dripping oil but even the smallest thinnest layer will discolor the plastic and make it shiny in the end. The source is the rubber itself and as it disintegrates it oozes this residue You will see. Trust all the ppl here in this discussion. If it were condensation this thread would not exist and have 136 pages

BTW good find on that article Vodoun.

Thats the first I've heard somebody use that word. That of course would explain where the matter for the oil was coming from. If the suit is indeed disintegrating then that is very serious indeed.

I'll let you know after I have mine.

The problem is, it's unknown what generates it. For the continual showing of this substance, if it's disentegration, surely noticable damage would be evident, the material would feel weaker or shrivel up or something, yet by all appearance, it's just a surface build up of some subtance.

That is the issue with everyone trying to deal with the problem on their own, it is unclear the cause or cure for the problem. That's the annoyance with HT over this too, if anyone has the resources to figure it out and do something, it's them and they seem to be taking the route of inaction.

Well, I certainly hope I can help after I have mine and am able to examine it personally.
