Is there a remedy for the rubbing off of the thin coating on top of his suit? I'm afraid my Batman has a little rubbed off his booty xD.
Make sure it's pure acetone.I used acetone to clean the back of my DX09 belt when I removed the thick bit of tape covering the metal plate. Don't get it anywhere near the paint, though. You'll be sorry if you do...
I'm completely ignorant to this talk of acetone and the such so how do I know if a product is pure acetone. I see he has a picture of finger nail polish remover is that pure acetone? And I didn't know you could use that to get that goo from the tape left on the belt for DX09. I was going to buy some Goo Gone but if can use finger nail poish remover I'll use that because I'm sure wifey has some.

Just because one person (Butters) says to use 'pure acetone, doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about. The person who posted the Mod used fingernail polish remover and it's far from 'pure acetone'.

Pure acetone will evaporate very quickly because it has a much lower boiling point than any nail polish removers. Nail polish remover doesn't evaporate quickly and probably contain pigments, scents and oils that can linger around and can stain and or destroy plastics. You can buy a litter or pure acetone from most hardware stores for a few bucks. You can dilute acetone with distilled water. Don't attempt anything if you don't understand what's being discussed, you'll end up doing more damage than good.
You don't hear that often when someone first opens a fresh new figure. This figure is a trip.That is why I was asking questions.

Well considering what has been know for some time about this piece... plus what I know I will do... I am happy with it. I am able to make it work for me. I am ok.
Considering I don't have a good one for this, I am happy.

Just finally got around to displaying this thing. My right boot had a broken foot upon arrival so I got a replacement from Sideshow. That one works fine, but now I just noticed that the left boot foot is also broken and I swear it wasn't before. How did that happen when I didn't even take it out of the box or display it? It stands up fine, but his pose-ability will be limited and there's no chance for a replacement now without paying a lot of money for a new boot.
toylion's fix should work!

ebay, Monkey Depot and Toy Anxiety have them when the break down HT True Type bodies. The Narrow Shoulders is fine.
Yep. I did two days ago. I definitely loosened the boot up but the heel still takes some work.
Yep. It was gonna happen. Sorry to hear that, bud.

It's a time bomb, just waiting to go off.
