Well I think it's time for me to pick this guy up. Coupon is out and I was going to use it and buy Iron Patriot but I think ED wins the battle. I'll think about it.

Thanks for sharing brother but just a piece of advice; I'd straighten out dem arms before the twisted arm police come to lock you up and throw away the key
I can see what you mean about certain accuracy standpoints. The Preds for example (I'm actually a Pred fan but not one savvy enough to to know markings, every curve of any given bio, etc. so I wasn't aware that Neca had actually outdone HT in certain ways in that sense. Interesting). I get what you mean about certain aspects of likeness (like in your Arnie example) but still and all, I guess I just view the two products as items that are way too different to compare to each other. Sure, I guess there's the rare occasional instance where a 7" fig can win a point in a certain category over a high end 1/6 figure, but generally speaking and to sum up the big picture, this: https://necaonline.com/35745/produc...ion-fig-spring-loaded-holster-robocop-case-6/ just doesn't stack up to this: https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/robocop-robocop-hot-toys-901935/ in any way that they can be properly compared. There are very good reasons why both products are price the way they are which sets them a world apart in my eyes. Maybe I'm in the minority but that's just how I see it
Cheers man, I take no issue with what you've said. You're not at all in the minority. I can see you understood my point and that's all I would have asked for there. At the end of the day quality will win out in most people's eyes over things like accuracy. In fact, on the accuracy front, I'm not sure, maybe the Hot Toys ED wins there too. I haven't done any comparisons myself.
It's not that I don't dig the Neca type figs because lord knows I have a ton of them. Maybe I should stop being such a fkin' geek and open these things so I can do a proper comparison myself

HT HQ if this gets bad -
That was in response to your LOTR gif.
Guess this whole issue will keep me from picking this up soon. Hope this isn't a wide spread issue like the first release. No idea why they didn't go for a completely different material.

I feel really sorry for the Tracker_Predator and I hope like what Hologram AI said that it is not widespread.
Hey Tracker how long have you had him for buddy?

Posted the issue on FB and there's already another account for this. They just checked the figure after seeing the issue and noticed it was on his as well.
Best if everybody checked their figure. Seems like there'll be a lot of domes rotting away again.

Man that sucks.
HT need to take account if this escalates.
What a ****ing joke.

Oh no. I guess I better check mine closely when I get home. He's been on my dresser since I got him in April and direct light doesn't hit him. Room is well cooled too. Maybe I should just sell him before the inevitable dome disaster begins.

That is really crappy, the fact that HT went with the rubber option again in the first place and that they didn't seem to make any improvements on the rubber they used.
A lowball, nasty move by HT in my opinion.

That's my picture. Thanks for posting it here as i was just about to do the same. It's probably not that a reviewer get this happening to his because i REALLY feel like making a video talking about this. Especially in my review, i specifically mention how we don't know what will happen. Hot Toys was utterly silent about this very huge problem before and refused (at least to my knowledge) to acknowledge if it was addressed for this second release.
