Hi All. New member to the forums here
I have the original Hot Toys ED209 and have just ordered the latest Hot Toys ED209 (in fact it is currently in the post as we speak!)
With ED209 dome issue has anyone tried using DuPont Krytox GPL 105 (Perfluoropolyether) as indicated in the opening post? (I have read many pages on this thread and can not seem to see if anyone has actually used it).
If so how did it go etc etc.?
I would also like to know where I can track down some DuPont Krytox GPL 105 (Perfluoropolyether) in its oil form in Australia. I have tried several places - like Volkswagen etc. - who use it on their door seals and weather strips - but they only have it is a spray can rather than a bottle. Ebay would be my next bet but I don't want to be importing chemicals into Australia (plus I want to know I'm getting the genuine product).
I'm also curious to know - are people who are experiencing the dome cracking just confined to people who have the figure out in the open on display or is it also effecting people who have opened the box for inspection then put the figure in a cupboard (only checking on it every now and again). (Note: I haven't checked on my original boxed ED209 for many years to answer that question myself )
Thanks All.
may I suggest the Honda greaseThanks David for the reply.
I thought about using the spray and/or decanting it - but at $90(AUD) for an 80-100ml can - where a lot of it will go to waste as a result, I decided not to buy it and to keep trying to source the actual liquid oil else where.
Will let you know how it goes.
Cheers.
both the Honda grease and mod hodge are on eBay with aussie sellers, hodge podge $14 grease $40Thanks 5x10. Just finding it a little hard to track down either product in Australia
If you can get a good deal, do itSo with all the issues this figure has, would you guys still recommend it? I have a chance to get one for a nice deal, but the rubber thing really bothers me. Even if the dome and other small rubber parts broke down a year from now it would still be a huge letdown. But I love ED, and have wanted one of these since the old Hot Toys days, so I'm really torn about it.
Also, has anyone ever received one this long after release and discovered dome issues right out of the box?
