Mine is still trucking with no cracks in it. Just damn does the dome love every dust particle in the western hemisphere.
that's the problem. you really need an actual figure.
i have an unassembled ED in another place, could pick it up in july (vacation) and send the torso to you... but who would cover the expenses of double shipping for both of us
anyway mine is out of discussion until july.
That's something we could actually work out with no huge problems, I think. Would it have to be the whole torso that is sent? Not just the cover?
I think you'd need the whole torso. I don't think you can get the rubber dome off without destroying it. Pretty sure it's glued down.
well, what Bucky Underbelly said plus you'd need the firm undersurface to know what the insides of the dome should look like
ok then, let's postpone it until july.
Well mine is starting to crack finally... Why couldn't it just be plastic... I'm in for any kinda of replacement project.
Because Hot Toys knows best.
why? (i bought it long ago but never applied)
I'm definitely in for one.
Kinda beyond the point of saving it. 25% of it is cracking now. I hadn't noticed it until earlier but it's been good for quite some time without a hint deterioration. If I can't replace it, I'll sell it at a big discount.
Wow! What changed Snake?? On 5/16, you were still good. 5 days later, 5/21, and 25% of the dome is cracked? Did the atmospheric conditions change all of a sudden?
I didn't give it a close up inspection in maybe a month or so. And, it's position on my shelf masked the bad section. No telling how long it's been going on. I almost want to sell it just to make room. I got the Robocop and Murphy two pack, and that's enough.

Is this figure still worth buying with the issues? Just rewatched the movie a couple of days ago, would really love the figure but the cracking issues terrifies me.
It's a tremendous figure apart from the perpetual worry that they forced upon us once again. The detail and articulation is incredible.

Yeah, so it seems. Is the deterioration that widespread? Sounds like a 80/20 chance of happening from what I've read.
The better question would be ''is the immediate deterioration that widespread?'' I don't know, I haven't been keeping track of anyone else's. I'm concerned that the dome is starting to pull away from the borders on mine though.
