The Jerker
Super Freak
I bought an extra suit from TA for this very reason. Now I can worry about two suits falling apart.
I spent some time with my bats today. Really wanted to sell the whole line I'm so disgusted with this peeling issue. But after a few minutes of futzing around I'm smitten again. No peeling though thank goodness. He peels and he is out of here I swear to god almighty.
I'm thinking about listing my Knightmare though and one of my armoreds to make some room. Happy with a bats a supes and one armored.

Right. I think setting the expectation, regardless of high price, to be perfect seriously needs to learn about statistics and manufacturing yield.
Simply saying "it's $250, it better work", is simply ignorant and borderline juvenile.
Even the Galaxy Note 7 exploded for crying out loud. BMWs has had defects and recalls. Even Tesla Model S has had recalls as I had to bring mine in.
Point being there will always be a certain percentage that will have some sort of defect. Expecting 100% perfection is completely ignorant. Nothing in the world is perfect.
To get your pitchforks out and overreact over 5 for-sure defective figures? Give me a fu-king break.

It's cool to reach out to the community to see if anyone has had problems...But to ask for "support"? What does that even mean? Are you going to buy the dude another replacement figure?
As I mentioned, best course of action is to talk to the retailer/Sideshow Collectibles.
The community can't do much for you. You can whine and circlejerk off each other but it's not going to get you another figure.
No peeling issue with mine. Though I did just get it.
I've had Knightmare Bats for a while and has been through some dynamic posing, even a coat change, still no peeling.
It doesn't sound like it's a universal problem.
If it is, we would hear a lot more about it, especially folks from Asia who have had this figure for longer than everywhere else.
It's similar to Deadpool where the issue was really apparent.
This one, not so much. It's unfortunate to hear from folks who have had this happen to them but we all get unlucky some days.
Whining about it in a forum and forming a big circlejerk isn't going to help. Perhaps talk to Sideshow Collectibles and see if they can offer you a solution.
I understand. In the end, maybe Hot Toys should look into hiring a materials science major for making a new material for the suits LOL.If there are 5 defective on a couple of forums, that cover a fraction of the figure ownership, there is likely many more out there.
We understand failure rates whatever the cost of an item but those examples of the Note 7 and BMW aren't very helpful. Anybody who bought those defective models would have had the issues put right, replaced or refunded. Do Hot Toys even do customer service?
I'm relieved my Batman has no issues thus far but some of you are seriously cold here. [emoji38]
Those raising awareness of this peeling shouldn't be berated for pointing out problems that shouldn't be present. A little more understanding would be nice. I don't see any pitchforks, just discussion which is apparently a bad thing now.
The Spiderman figures suffered the same problems by all accounts. My MOS had some peeling after being left on the C clamp, my fault I know but why do they only give Superman flight stands when they must know this is an issue. My BvS Supes has a slight issue under his left arm, thankfully well hidden but if you think this is limited to just five BvS Batman figures I'd call that delusional.
Hot Toys need to work out these issues with rubber type suits with many more figures wearing these outfits due for release in the coming years.
