whats that circled in red?
Is this a Hot Toys con or something? As far as I can tell it looks like some kind of mech.

Wow! I think she looks incredible! So so much better than the promo shots! So, is there any word on whether or not either this or Snake have outfits made with Easymelt™ rubber?
not sure what you mean by that but the suits are pretty durable. its just hers fits ridiculously tight. snakes is much more forgiving.

The white on The Boss is made of stretchy pleather... while under the vest of Snake is strechy spandex-like material... The silver material on the Boss and the Grey material on Snake are pleather that does not stretch really well...
Speaking of the Boss... I missed a Bargain of it at around USD100 by a small time-window I suspect...

I think he's referencing how the DX02 Dark Knight figure had a strange reaction to something that caused the rubber on the figure to melt.
Still waiting for BBTS to ship her

I was referring to the fact that many Hot Toys figures have clothing made of a rubber that deteriorates over time. I just want to know whether or not these were made with that material.

The white pleather used... may deteriorate or rot ... only time will tell...
her suit as well as snakes dont give me the feeling that they will fall apart or rip. they seemed designed very well. i dont think you have to worry aside from the other guy saying that the weaving on her leg separated. this was probably due to bad qc.
I get the Boss this afternoon, is there any defects to look out for? I haven't followed this thread much.
one person here had the separation of the leg weaving pnel near the hip but no one else that ive seen. just know her suit is ridiculously tighter than snakes.
Are the arms as pose-able as Snake's? As long as I can do CQC arm positions to a degree I'll be happy.
The elbows have about 45 degrees to 90 degrees of movement that's why she's posed the way that I've posed her

That's the major disappointment of this figure. The severely limited arm articulation.
Might have to return mine since there is no magnet for the CQC knife under her clothing...
Its under there it's just really weak try rubbing a magnet on the sheath for a while it'll stick on her collar easier if you push your finger from behind her clothes you can see a very very tiny magnet I thought mine wasn't there either

I found it thanks Jason, I kept opening her collar trying to see if it fell out. I found it right before I read you're reply. Problem is the trigger hand thumb and middle finger snapped when I tried to put the Patriot in her hand. But I am going to order a replacement from Toy Anxiety for 2.99$ and I should have it by Thursday.
