I don't think we can say absolutely as there are members here that have not applied anything and still have perfect domes
Others domes deteriorated in a month

Does humidity of the display environment have anything to do with it?

Nope.
The climate here is absolutely normal.

No it's OK.
I somehow "made my peace" with having an ED209 figure in 1/6 scale.

Wow I'm tempted to get this from SideShow $369 with free shipping and $39 in rewards! Great deal but the cracks does worry me.

You could be lucky.
Even if the dome starts to crack you could easily make a new done.
The only thing that really got me turned off were the joint sleeves.
If they crack it will probably really hard to get new ones that fit.
It'll also be hard to get them onto the figure because on the arms and legs they are somehow attached to the body and the neck sleeve is glued to the "pelvis"
No thanks, almost 400 bucks are waaaay too much for that!

Thats a great deal imo. I would start applying the Honda silicone grease from day 1 for prevention.
Does anyone have both ED and the new Robocop? Will they fit in the same Detolf Shelf together comfortably?
Thanks, definitely will do if I go ahead with the purchase!
My dome is still fine 8 weeks in. i would like to do some preventative measures though. I have some mod podge but this Honda grease sounds good.
Does anyone know what a uk equivalent is? i cant find any reasonably priced shin-etsu grease over here.

Lol, they finally discounted this pos. Gift card eligible, free shipping, extra rewards as well.
I'm with hashtag Brian, I'll reconsider this if it falls below $200.
SSC can shove it up their butts otherwise.

The environment has a lot to do with it. I've seen this displayed in a local store since it released however many months ago. They said they never used any product on it and it's been sitting in their glass shelf. I have seen no cracks on it or wear thus far so I think it might be safe to keep mine. I have the Honda grease coming in just as a precaution and on hand in case any small signs of cracking occur.

What the hell, Positron, did you decide to post all of your pics this morning?
Did you do anything to the dome?
Haha yea! I was able to borrow a nice camera and took advantage of it. Normally my pics come from my iphone4 camera which has terrible quality.
I've already applied 2 layers of Honda silicone grease. Dome shows no sign of cracking or drying.
