Been fiddling with the fig for a couple days now, re-posing him and such. Stuffed some cotton into his chest/shoulder area to bulk him up a bit, think I'm happy. For now.
cr0w, was that the DX you saved? or did you get it replaced?
How'd you get the cotton in?
And did any stray fibers end up sticking to the outside, rubber surface, like dust?
Same one I've had since December. I replaced the sponge under the shirt with a paper towel and put the DX belt back on him and have had no issues with the oil since. This was about a month and a half ago.

I just took the head off, lifted up the suit at the neck and stuffed it in. Any stray fibers I picked off.
Hah, go for it. Took me hours to figure something out. I'd pose it, sit down, look at it, get up, pose it, sit down, look at it...you know how it goes.
Are you going to get a replacement? Aren't you afraid it will resurface? That's the only reason I'm sending mine back in. I'm afraid the oil will get worse and keep coming. Mine is in good shape right now. Only a cover of oil on the bottom 2 ab plates and a little, very minimal amount of oil on the biceps. Barely noticeable, but I'm still sending it back just in case it turns out to be a reservoir.
I'll have to try that when I get home in a week or so.
I wouldn't suggest using a tissue, because of those annoying white flakes it leaves behind.
I use compressed air and if stuff still sticks I use cleaning solution from my optical store and those small micro fibre cloth that come with the glasses as well
After using the compressed air I've also found the same technique on fabric works well. Wrap sellotape around your finger (sticky side facing out), dab it on your top or jeans until it takes the extreme stickiness out of it so it won't pull the rubber and gently dab it on the rubber. It then takes everything off leaving no marks or any adhesive behind. It's like the figure was taken out the box for the first time. Perfectly clean.
