Just got back from New York Comic Con and got me a 1989 batman the con was great so excited that I finally snagged one of these 
Hmm, not seeing it.
It looks the same on both sides of your figure. And mine looks the same.
I say your good.
Paranoid. Yeesh.

Seriously though PT, can you really blame people? The kinds of problems that there have been. I think a little paranoia is unsurprising.
@ Otomofan. I have two figures and the lines and detail on both of mine look exactly like yours. If you think there is something that your camera is not getting, perhaps get us some snaps with a higher-res because honestly, nothing is obvious there. Do you have them in an open cabinet or a closed one?
@xforce. Well done that man!
Good price?HottoyzJoker

You guys all do understand that one day no matter how well these figures where made thy will break down!!! Like everything else a figure has its role and then it fades away that the way things are... The same with everything no figure lasts forever... What matters is if you enjoyed it in the moment!?!

The action figures from my childhood are just as good as the day they were bought, with the exception of play-wear. And I expect that all of my current fabric clothed figures will be good for decades to come. What you said only really applies to figures with rubber parts.

Like Batman...
Yes, like Batman. But you said: "Like everything else a figure has its role and then it fades away that the way things are... The same with everything no figure lasts forever."
The vast majority of my collection will outlive me. But for 6 figures in my collection with rubber I do expect to see some deterioration at some point (by that I mean decades from now). The good news is that if some cracks develop or whatever, the figure will still look good over-all and can still provide enjoyment for someone... me if I still care about toys then.

I've been out of the loop for a while, are there any rubber issues as of today?
Nope. Except for one very dubious report.

Yeah, as I said, I hope it's just paranoia.
Unfortunately, that was the best I could do pic wise...I don't have anything with higher res.
My figure is out in the open. And I realized I hadn't dusted in a while so I was cleaning it and the abs just looked..."deeper" to me. Like the sculpting started to separate deep in the cracks? So once that panicked idea was in my head, I had to come here and see...
This is my first Hot Toys figure but I'm well aware of the issues with rubber figures. I saw the pics of the Comedian's outfit just DISINTEGRATING into thin air and I thought "Oh god, is this how it starts?" So I tried to look closer...pulled the muscles flat with my fingers....was that a tear forming or just my imagination? Maybe I shouldn't be handling it this way anyway!!
No sign of any oil or anything, so that's good.
I know this figure won't last. I bought it anyway. I was hoping to have it for a few years at least. It's a gorgeous display piece! But to have it fall apart in the first year would really be a bummer to me. Bad enough, last time I cleaned it I dropped it right on the face and now there's a permanent round scuff right on the forehead. Maybe that's not apparent in the pics either. That was my fault though. D'oh!

You saying that your figure is out in the open makes me think that it looks different because, regardless of your careful dusting, your BATMAN's original finish has been affected by dust slightly.
Not 'Dissolving' affected, but 'How it looks' affected. It has that slightly duller (not quite as glossed) look to it than my two and others on here. That's why I asked if you kept him in a closed or open cabinet. It looked like a dust thing. My HT BATMAN BEGINS Batman is a hideous dust trap, so you would not be alone on this. That's why most folks here use Ikea's Detolf cabinets or some such.
That's not to say it's going to fall apart anytime soon. I know that it will eventually, but that is not on the immediate or even intermediate horizons. Years of pleasure from this figure will be enjoyed by all.

Oh god Batman forever just started on Encore. Do I watch it for a good laugh or just pass and stay mostly disgusted with the whole thing.

I would go with that second option... Though Carrey's Riddler is still the saving grace of that film that might pull you through.
