DX09 KEATON BATMAN: residue in abdominal area, has yours shown signs of it?

[preeny101]

If I knew where she lived, I wouldn't be on SSF right now.




Btw, 11. No oil...yet.

..OIL?

I did the resarch, read through the DX02 thread, not a lot of definitive info about this mysterious oil - lower left ab of DX02...and that was Feb 2010.

Is there any new info about this oil?

Are the DX02 cured? Fixed?

What is it?

And why is it affecting Batman's?


If there is black oil on a figure, it better be Scully / Muldar...

1. Maglor
2. UltraMarknus


8 collectors have claimed to have not have had signs of oil so far,

I've checked facebook, onesixthwarriors and a few Asian message boards but so far, we freaks are the only ones that seem to be experiencing problems. I'm sure that will change once more collectors become aware.

Make me 11 with no issue

Are those double F's or G's? Just wondering...not important but, where does she live?

BB

F

I'm just sayin?

I checked mine and no residue. I took the paper out from under the belt as soon as I got it and it has been that way since. I was one of the first batch shipped too. I moved the belt around and it is dry as a bone.

Thats what I'm saying, not only is there zero evidence to suggest what these people are saying is true, it just can't be. Plastic and rubber don't just magically ooze out oil. I saw one picture someone provided of a DX-02 Bats and it was just ridiculous. No way did that happen by oil just coming out of a costume. It looked more like someone dropped the figure in something.

In a nutshell:
If your figure leaks, it cannot be fixed. There isn't a solution, stop trying to find one. Now, with that being said is this figure worth the risk to you? If so, accept the above terms and enjoy the figure, if not skip it.

Oh yeah, I always spend hundreds of dollars on figures just so I can self mutilate them and then go thru the hassle of trying to get a refund or replacement.

NOT TRUE. My chemical engineer friend said petrolium based rubbers can break down and soften.

ALL THIS SUCKS. But it is what it is. Even MORE importantly, if you are really unhappy with this issue, please don't buy the next rubber suit Batman!

How can you be so sure?. XD

 

[UltraMarknus]

I've had the belt off for about 24 hours now. No oil or new residue. I am 100% sure it is from the belt on my figure...just in case if you want to update the list......

I just put a little piece of paper onto the exposed glue and it holds there and will keep it there for eternity so no glue gets onto my Batman.

After returning a DX02 for the same thing, the fact that the same ____ is already occurring here, HT can take the Keaton Bats I was gonna order, turn it sideways and shove it right up their ass. I'm done with HT rubber suits. Those keeping this POS, I look forward to teasing the hell out of you when, three weeks, six months, a year down the line you wind up making your first post in the DX09 leaky thread with your little face acknowledging yours has finally started leaking.

Well said, Nam. To put it in better words and in depth, HT can take the DX09 Bats, roll it up to a ball, shine it up real nice, turn that sum b***h sideways, and stick it up their candy-a****!!!

[Kuzeh]

Well, it is indeed a bummer that this is happening again...
I have mine on PO from AE... but I'm really thinking about canceling if this turns out to be a widespread issue...
I hope not...

What I don't understand is why can't HT use the same material they used for the Begins Bats... I've had that one since 2005 and no signs of anything on it... ...

 

[thenammagazine]

Well a portion of those 6 didn't know until Rory's pics, they checked and there it was, so there is bound to be many who just haven't noticed yet.

Or as with the DX02 won't ever admit their precious HT could make such mistakes.

You know with all this talk about the oil issue I went over to my DX02 today to check again and still dry as a whistle. However I noticed something that I didn't before. Right where the chest plate ends near the belt area I can see a thin clear plastic sheet in between the armor and the body. I wonder if this is how HT fixed the issue the first time. If so, then I would say that the backing they put on the belt is definitely there for the same reason.

That was HT's first halfassed attempt at a quick fix, just before the DCD run of the figure. Check the ribcage and the biceps. If you're brave enough, stick a Q-tip up under the shirt and see if it comes out clean.

I bet your days are filled with magic

THATS JUST F$#%ING HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

Would you prefer strudel? It's clear some people here, do.

 

[Natrix]

No leaking oil on mine either.

Threads like these present the best and worst of this community. The best being the well meaning members chiming in with reports of problems with their figures and their solutions to it. Then you have the worst with the same old trolls who have nothing better to do with their lives than troll this thread (some even admitting previously, they never even bought or ordered the figure) spouting out the same BS again and again
Shame some ppl don't just get a grip, say their piece and trot on leaving us who've actually paid the money, make sense of this issue.
