i have just aquired the mark 2 and i have to say it is awesome. i am going to do a stealth custom paint job on it though so will post pics when finished
I just got my mark III from a seller on ebay. I came home very excited about it only to find that the piece that recieves the pin on one of the flaps had cracked. When I moved the flap it fell off completely and now I cannot find it anywhere. To be honest for the money I think the figure is overly fragile. A lot of the flaps do not work as well as they should I think. Very disappointed. Looks nice but not as well made as I had hoped it would be.
hi guys. perhaps this has been addressed here before but i guess the thread has grown too big for me to backtrack. i've owned and displayed the mk3 since it first came out, and after all these months there seems to be some deterioration in the glossy rubber parts - the waist and the pelvis.
i can only attribute it to dust sticking on to the surface since i've experienced the same thing on other rubber based figures, but this time it's really bad due to its intended glossy look. it's now matte, rough and the different tone is very very noticeable. ugly in fact. any way to fix this? and how can i avoid this... the battled damaged mk3 will be a huge investment so i'd like to take precautions.
any tip would be helpful. btw, 2 things have crossed my mind - wipe with damp cloth, or... coat with nail polish lol! i'd like to be warned if these are not advisable... thanks
Hi Lonewolf
You can try this from
Its the 3M silicone lubricant (dry type). Its safe on rubber, plastics and it leaves a protective coat such that you can brush off the dust with ease:chew
thanks. can i use it on the figure now, considering it's got dust permanently stuck to it already?
Yes, you shld be able to remove the dust, but i dun really understand how dust can be "permanently stuck" to the figure.
I was using the Lubricant on one of his legs (very stiff joint) when some of it got onto the rubberised part. I wiped off the excess and it leaves a coat on it, smooth to touch. I recommend spraying the lubricant on a cloth and then apply it to the body. Hope it works for you
well, the surface is sticky and i can't seem to wipe the layer of dust off... it's like a coating on its own now. hmm. maybe i'll try licking it... thanks for the tip
