From Hot Toys?
I wasn't expecting a reply, because that would force HT to acknowledge they made a mistake in the first place. Just receiving multiple emails about it, and a tragic photo, might be enough to make them use plastic- if they weren't planning to already.I know a few of you guys sent emails asking about the dome, any replies?

Tell them you want the dome to be plastic, not rubber!
Remember the $410 price tag... and please re-quote this post from time to time,
so it will be seen by many who have already pre-ordered and by those who will.
Maybe the photo below will inspire you all to action...

What toe articulation on the old ED? LolDo you guys think the toes will be movable separately?
That would be a cool feature.
Didn't like the "toe" articulation on the old EDdy.

100% silicon grease will keep the rubber dome from cracking you can buy it from most divers shops. I used this stuff on my old one

I mean no disrespect, but I think that's a bad idea for several reasons. The stickiness will attract dust, hair, and whatever else might be floating in the air. It would make the dome perpetually sticky to the touch. Also, silicone, even if suspended within some inert oily medium such as petroleum jelly, is toxic.100% silicon grease will keep the rubber dome from cracking you can buy it from most divers shops.

There are no photos that indicate the toes are articulated.... it's something I was looking for in every pic......There are photos that indicate that the toes are articulated.

HT may add later though...

The silicone grease divers use is formulated to be compatible with the neoprene fabric diving suits, which will wear out over time and can be replaced. Neoprene degrades in a few short years, because salt water and oxidation break it down. (and of course, the manufacturers want you to buy a $hiny new diving suit every few years) This $410 toy is intended to be as long-lasting as possible, or at least it should be. The specific type of rubber HT used for the 2006 version of ED-209 might not be the same type of rubber they use this time, if they do use rubber. This time around there might be a chemical reaction between the rubber and the silicone which did not occur with your 2006 version.
IF Hot Toys is stupid enough to use a low-quality rubber again, the best solution in my opinion is to have the dome replaced with a custom-made plastic one. I know I will be making them, if the dome is rubber.
