Hot Toys Bane 2.0 (The Dark Knight Rises)

[Earth 616 Collector]

Why don't you just glue it yourself? That is a simple fix

Dry fit it to make sure it's where it needs to be. Take a pencil and mark the spot. Add some gorilla glue. Done. No inconvenience to pack it up and ship it back to sideshow and possibly get a replacement, or possibly not.

I did end up doing that. I figured if it's not going to work, I would know rather soon and could then just message sideshow.

Like you said, I didn't want to take the chance of them not being able to replace, or maybe I get a sculpt with a bad defect. I was just initially worried if my fix didn't stick and later on does the same thing then I wouldn't be able to get a replacement. Logically it was just a glue problem, so I just fixed it

Another one from today. I'm a bit nervous leaving him posted with his arms bent in any pose even just for a picture. Anyone leave him with the arms bent roughly 90 degrees + for long periods of time yet?

I'm testing my She-Hulk figure right now. Have had her arms bent since early November. I'm going to take a look at the arms in a couple of weeks to do a 2 month check in.

I just have mine posed with his arms at his side. I really want to do the hands grabbing his vest pose but I'm so scared it will get damaged .

My Bane has just shipped. Looking forward to getting this guy in the collection

Ever since I got him. Best pose for him IMO. Arms seems to have been made for it, but who knows really.

The silicone used nowadays is quite durable right? I don't feel like I see that many posts anymore of things cracking/splitting, but I guess that could be down to people being cautious as well.

TBF, this is my first figure with rubbery arms, and it just looks good in that pose, I may change it later to the come to papa one, but so far so good.

Not to say it won't get damaged, this is HT after all.

True, wouldn't put it past HT to use bottom rung stuff given their love of pleather.

Hmm wonder what my chances of conversion on sideshow are? Joined waitlist on jan 24.

Yup, I believe HT is supposedly using medical grade silicone for stuff like this now. So should last quite awhile with proper care and not split as easily as the rubber they used to use

 

[franpincho]

As long as the rubber is not ED-209 ****** we are good.


God damn it what a slap on the face that was for customers.

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

I think HT final got the seamless material right. This, She-Hulk, and the Hono Wolverine all feel different and promising.

@Agentbutterman that's simply fantastic--he arrives after Christmas for me...the wait is already excruciating! Amazing shot there.

What are the chances of my waitlist converting?

Probably will just have to wait until more units get shipped to Sideshow. My ROTJ Vader WL took awhile to convert until SS really started getting their allotment in.

My LCS happened to have an unclaimed Bane available, bought it as an early BDay present to myself, very stoked, missed Joker so happy to at least have him, and I'll patiently wait for scarecrow and a Begins redo

Funny knowing Tom had the
Stone Cold Steve Austin look going on under the mask.
