Hot toys Batman Begins Toyfair exclusive Damage Report!

So when you guys talk about mishandling, what do you mean.

Am i supposed to wrap my fingers in bubble-wrap and slip them into ones of them piano gloves?

I'd say in this case, mishandling is trying to pose the figure in ways that require you to use a lot of pressure on the suit to hold and manipulate the figure. Hard enough pressure will cause enough friction between your finger and the suit to rub off this paint/coating they put on it.

Yeah, it can get ridiculous after awhile. Fact is they should be made sturdy enough to achieve all poses shown on the box or on Hot Toys site. It's not like people are playing war with them like with the old G.I Joe figures in the 80's.

Notice around the bat symbol, the coating is thin, and thus shiny. This was a pretty light coating they put on the rubber.

Maybe he's "battle-damaged" ultra rare.

The rubber used on this suit reminds me of these.

"Wacky WallWalkers
Inventor Ken Hakuta became known as "Dr. Fad" in 1983 after he began marketing this octopus-shaped sticky rubber toy, originally invented in Japan. When thrown, it would stick to vertical surfaces and then "walk" down as its legs lost their grip. Hakuta sold over 240 million units of the early '80s fad toy, making over $20 million in profits" (Faded Fads)

I remember them, they were the shape of men when i was a kid and got so damn hairy, they attracted every kind of dirt and bacteria imaginable

 

[Vortex]

^Right, and then you washed them once and they were pretty much done for.

I just want this pose:

That is the one I had my eye on too if attainable. Sooo, what kind of gloves should we use while trying to attain that pose?

(actually, serious question)

Displaying this figure in this pose would be a bad, bad idea... A standing position with the arms to the figures side is the way to go, unless you want to suddenly find a tear in suit around areas that are being stressed from that pose (front of shoulders, elbows).

Glad to see we've entered the self-wedgie, "OMFG CANCEL NOW!" tittybaby phase. Means he's almost here.

You beat me to it, Nam

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE SKY IS FALLING!

Are all those collector's stuck with leaking Comedian and Batman figures still considered "tittiebabies", or is that reserved only for people who are on the fence and have concerns about spending 200+ bucks on a fig that looks like it's falling apart before it's official release?

I'm confident enough in SSC's return policy not to cancel. But, I have my concerns given the rubber body history HT has, given there are certain issues popping up already.

I'm pretty sure you aren't a tittybaby if you are whining about something Nam whines about.
