Hot Toys – MMS204 - The 1/6th scale ED-209 Collectible

[S. Griffin]

I'd be shocked if they managed to miss the last however many years its been of rotting domes on the original ED.

Nothing shocks me. And they could very easily be determined to "improve" the rubber, only to have it turn out exactly the same. Until they tell us flat out that the dome will not be rubber, it is worth the concern.

It looks like rubber in this pic...

 

[Hologram AI]

It does indeed look rubber there. Hopefully they make it plastic or anything but rubber. At least Neca is doing full plastic on the dome.

That wasn't my way saying ''lets not bother sending emails''. By all means lets. And yeah, it does look suspiciously like rubber again.

Another reason I don't want rubber is dust. A black dome will eventually become grey.

Didn't know the NECA ED had sound effects too? If I've got any spare cash layin around I'll probably have to pick this one up as well. Not a fan of the sound but this still looks cool.

Swung by HT to PO these guys. Here are so random pics. Scale is Amazing! This thing has major presence! Sorry for the reflections was busy so I had to shoot and move.

Both Ed and Robocop make the Iron man figs look a bit boring.

Usually I'm content to let others send the e.mails and hope for the best, but that indeed did inspire me. Thanks for posting it, Anthrapoid. Question submitted on HT's site. Man, I'd be gutted if this happened to such a sweet figure.

Done, I sent a nice message asking them to let me know what they plan to make the head/dome out of, even linked the picture, should I be holding my breath for a reply?,


I'm just wondering if i should go and check my MK1 dome to see how its held up..

LOL no.

[Sturanich]

Quick check on his condition, he's safe

Wonder if its down to the grade of rubber they used on some of them?
Still, we don't want rubber on the new ones!

 

[CollectorGuy]

Yeah just out of pure fear i hope they dont use rubber and instead use plastic or resin.
Honestly though the dome on the new one if it is rubber looks very thin, much like
the dx batman's and those are pretty good rubber quality.

Well, I sold my customized ED-209 for 400$ few days ago.
Now I'm all about getting this one. I'm really exited with all those wires details and about articulated foot fingers. This is really cool, since it gives us a chance to display him chicken-walking as it was in the movie. Really sweet.

there is nothing in the world that doesn't make ironman figs boring.

+1000000

 

[Yoshi]

Woah! That's insane. Mine just started lifting around the edges, nothing more.

 

[CAIN MKII]

Geez that's my ED209 you're talking about. Since then I get rid of the rubber crap and repleaced by a custom dome:
