1/6 Hot Toys - BvS: Dawn of Justice - Batman

[Bruce Wayne]

That happens to alot with things being left in their package. I agree about opening it, have fun with the figure. My batman has Pealed and it isn't the thing you want to happen but I still love this figure it's awesome, so just enjoy it.

I agree. I couldn't imagine spending all this money on these then being too afraid to open it up. Same with the Harley Quinn figure where reviews are already talking about being afraid to change poses. I get wanting to be careful but to me, it's like buying a new car then being afraid to drive so you just keep it on the garage to make sure it doesn't get scratched.

Totally agreed!

Especially with regards to cars! It's unfortunate, but it's been speculated that although the tires on Paul Walker's Porsche may have looked fine/like new, they didn't drive like new. This article breaks down the idea.....

Also, the tires were more than 9 years old whereas Porsche recommends replacing them every 4 years regardless of use....

I know that analogy is a total stretch, but this is all a round about way of saying keeping the figures mint in box doesn't necessarily keep them new/mint. They're going to age regardless. So why not just take them out and enjoy them. Do what you will to keep them preserved and clean, but for god sakes take them out of their packaging.

Bend the arms a little at the elbows,turn the biceps inward,and push the shoulders up,that should do the trick,did with mine

Aha! Thanks for the advice, I didn't know he shoulders could move up!

Rotate his biceps out then you should have a little more room. They won't be perp to floor he's too bulked for that.

Now where do I get one of those cool smoke machines ?

Pretty cool huh, i vape. That's how I got that effect loool

I did several times, this is last time. As I darkened it then dry brushed a lighter grey. Plus it helps cover the spots that are pealing. Which has stop thank god.

can you show me which part of your batman is peeling?
Is it because you bend the arms, so it got sticky?

I thought it was cause I posed him back and forth but. It was what other stated was wrong with the suit. The rubber print on it when it gets into contact with itself, mainly around the arm pit gets stuck. When you start articulating the arms It will peal that area showing the black under suit. I actually post images of it some pages back. It became a discussion which doesn't need to be brought up again, Just check your batman and make sure. Also the suit even when it's rubbing against something will peal. The chest on mine as well Pealed under the batsymbol. The paint covers it.

Go to page 1028 on here and you will find my image, and images from other members on the issue plus the whole discussion after.

Hi.

Your list prompted me to check mine and mine has exactly the same problem.

I live in cold England so it's nothing to do with the heat or anything.

I don't know why this is.

I can sense a DX02 event on the horizon. Melting suits everywhere.

This has just turned into an awesome 'action figure' to a 'fragile statue' for me, I'll never touch it again.

It seems the problem is when the suit comes into contact with other areas, as under the armpit the suit is pressed against the suit on the arms.

Who knows.

This blows.

I'd suggest checking yours, people.

Woah. How's your fairing Rob?

My spiderman 2 suit did the same thing in the same place.

 

[SilverStar17]

Fortunately, nothing has happened like that to my Batman nor Superman. I've checked both and even at the armpits, the arms are able to articulate without the suit feeling like it's fused together and peels off of the surface of one another. I have both in static poses.

 

[TrexGreen]

Yes I'm glad too that mine's still in great shape

 

[IndyMOS]

Mine gets stuck together as well at the armpit, but no major peeling so far. It's a bummer to have to worry about that, but there's not a whole lot to do except to be careful posing him.

Hopefully the JL figures don't have that issue.

While I'm at it here's a couple pictures of my current pose. Looking forward to the rebreather piece from Deadshot:

hi, I appreciate for informing this. luckily my batman doesn't have that problem (my mos did). mine did suffer from something like a razor mark on his ear though.

 

[sixxshooter]

I opened my Batman up . He's still in the box from when I received him from SSC . Thank god ! No pealing .

PEEL. It's "peel." [emoji13]

"Peal" is a sound, like bells make.

Not that it wasn't amusing reading you go on and on about the noise coming from your Batman's armpits...

Just got a Bruce head and I learned how to lower Batman's arms thanks to you guys. I'm just using the Wolverine body and suit for him right now.
