More so the accordion rubber around the legs. Mine is all degraded and cracked. My dome is still good since the treatment.

 

[krafter]

I treated all my rubber and it's still slowly rotting, short answer yes I'm planning on new dome with correct shape. I will be offering all you see as upgrade packs to your ed209 models, right now I'm still in development phase. I'll have a pack with like new dome with corrected shape, metal replacements and metal shoulder hydraulic lines, but it wont be cheap because the amount of time and work would be in the days for each Ed209 I will upgrade. Just taking ED209 apart to work on is a major ***** since they used glue and screws and pins!

The Metallic parts are cool but would be awesome if you could do a set to replace the rubber parts first

 

[BeefEaster]

I didn't treat my rubber at all(huh huh) and it's still fine

@krafter

Fisto, from germany it just got rubbed off from working on ed209 so much and left it unprotected, I think...

 

[fosing]

what's fisto? a silicone lubricant?
you did not try gummi pfledge or the honda grease route?

 

[Reinhardt]

I used Gummi Pfledge on mine. So far so good.

That's good news re the rubber parts, but what are you doing for the leg rubbers?

 

[Tick-Tock]

I just got this figure and opened him today. He's pretty incredible. Is there any way to lift his head up off his body a bit or is that just how he is?

Jus picked another one up for a good deal. It's MISB, so should I open and gummi pfledge or silicon grease?

 

[Positron]

Silicone grease. I only had to apply 2 coats since I've had it 2014.
