Hot Toys ED-209 MMS204 *RUBBER DETERIORATION* Discussion/Pics

[a-dev]

I haven't used anything at all on mine because every time someone suggests something to apply on the dome someone else comes in and says ''DON'T DO IT!! YOU'LL KILL US ALL!!!'', which frightens me.

I will therefore wait for the custom dome, hopefully it'll be easy to put on. Meantime, whatever happens, happens.

Just returned this turd back to sideshow..... Lost 60 bucks in shipping to and from my home...... I waited 3 years for Ed...... Because hot toys seems to act like it's no big deal to screw over collectors time and time again I've made the decision to cut back on there items dramatically...... Thanks sideshow for helping my wallet.

Yes I have also cut back on any Hot Toys because of this - especially any that have rubber! : Batman Armory CANCELLED.

So, got my Liqui Molly rubber care and applied it to ED.
Now the waiting game starts, but so far, since yesterday, all is fine.

My turret rubber is rotting, but everything else is fine. Applied 303 a few weeks ago just in case.

I have had my ED-209 since he first shipped and knock on wood, all is still perfect. I haven't touched the dome at all and it sits in my detolf looking awesome.

Sideshow's "best seller" section means "**** we can't sell", btw.

This is all anecdotal evidence. Fools.

The guy who posted that crap on Facebook about anecdotal evidence really struck a cord with me. I normally don't take idiocy on the internet to heart, but it's always especially funny to me when people try to dismiss or assert speculation using intellectual terms like anecdotal evidence. Terms like this really hold no relevance to our hobby IMO. Empirical data is all most impossible in our hobby since most of these collectibles are produced in China and the consumers are spread thinly a crossed many nations, and thinned out even further since only a few actually post on these forums. So it's all anecdotal evidence really.

Idk I guess in a sick way I just really enjoy laughing at people that pretend to be superior in intelligence who in fact succeed only in solidifying their ignorance.

Pretty much, I've always found those choice of words to be pretty humorous.

Yikes, I haven't even opened the box yet... has the rubber been cracking really fast?

Return it.

 

[dw316]

Return it.

Shoot, it might be too late. I ordered a while back from secret compass with a 25% coupon but wasn't around to open it up and check it out due to work. Is it really bad like the first release?

I also ordered from Secret Compass. Opened it a total 3 times. Mines still in great condition. Maybe Secret Compass had good batch of Ed's?

It's mere anecdotal evidence until it happens to you, then it's a disaster and someone should have done something about this travesty.

The REAL best sellers you won't see there because they're already archived as SOLD OUT.

Anyway, I saw that this baby's being sold locally for $275 brand new and still no one's buying.

A quick question to anyone who used the modge podge for their ED's, I just bought it, but how did you apply it? with your fingers or with a brush? Any other things I need to consider before applying?

Check out youtube. I've googled it since learning about it last night, seems like brush application is a good option. It'll appear white but will dry clear.

Apply with a quality 3/4" flat brush. Allow to dry between coats.

 

[dw316]

There's so many different versions of mod podge, I'm wondering which one(s) did people get?

 

[rivera2171]

Use the matte version.

Thanks, rivera!
