yep!
Definitly missing the part where we are saying that problems occur right off the box or a mere 1 years after.
 
You're not reading right mate.
It's not leaking oil, it gets sticky when left in the tray it seems.

The tray is made out of polystyrene, making it probably hotter than the regular plastic of HT figs. I got mine out and exposed since i bought it and no such problem be happy for me ^^.
To me it's a "regular" kind of problem.
Rubber use have issues over time, i don't expect them to stay as new over the years even if you ultra careful with it.
Just like digipack, digibook dvd's (hate those).

Not the same problem as BAT DX or Comedian when it's leaking and melting in or out of the box, old or mint.
 
I heard about that. That was a figure I really wanted at one point. it looks like I dodged a bullet with that one. That would be much harder to fix than what we are trying to do with the Comedian figure.
 
Statue "exclusive" collectors suffer from small peepee syndrome and feel compelled to justify their elitism with all these 1/6 figures coming out and looking better than their 1/4 counterparts.

:lol:lol

I swear I was just about to buy this figure like 2 days ago! Then I had to put money towards something else but I still had intentions to buy in the future. Im new to this thread, what exactly is leaking, the body? the armor?
 
I love this figure I picked it up for about £100 awhile back. No sign at all of any leakage on mine YET, hopefully it'll stay that way. I'm still gutted we didn't get Rorschach :(
 
From what i observed the harness alone is not leaking.
The vest still do.
I think If the harness gets damaged it's only because of the oil leaking from the vest.
 
It's the rubber shirt and the rig harness he has over it. It's no minimal amount either! But it's an awesome awesome figure. It's just self destructing

Huh. I dont get it why is there oil on the shirt in the first place, what is its purpose?:dunno I didnt get the DX92 so Ive neveer had an issue with leaking figures. I heard when the whole DX02 thing first was going down people were raising hell on HT's Facebook and HT straight denied that an issue even existed! :lol Thats so f'd! :lol
 
The oil is used by HT to putt the rubber suit on the bodies.

But the oil leaking from the vest is not from that, it's a chemical reaction. Nam said it was because it has not cured enough, or maybe it the latex of the muscular body that react with the vest's rubber.

Yes HT denied the bat dx problems at firts, then gave fake solutions, finally they offered a replacement.

For the Comedian, they did not denied for now, just said they have no replacement parts since the fiugure is too old.

BS!

Sounds like HT needs to stay away from rubber and oil. I hope they have something new in the works for TDKR because I dont have an HT bats and want one bad. I have the Medi Bats and hes a really cool figure but it takes some modding. Anyway is the Comedians body rubber as well.
 
Add mine to the list of deteriorating rubber as well. I was finally able to get to the back of the closet to did him out and sure enough the suit is deteriorating right in the center of the back.
 
Keep dreaming fry guy. :lol



As opposed to paying close to a grand to have a bust's paint flake off? Or a jacket peel? Or a likeness that has more in common with the Gieco Caveman than the Terminator Actor he's supposed to portray? I think even Medi did a better job on Cyclops bro. :lol :wave

If you took a sec to read instead of just pop in to troll you'd understand. It's not that people don't expect it to deteriorate, it's that there're QC issues and the figures are falling apart faster than they should be. 10-20 years down the road, fine. We're talking less than a year. Beit an action figure or a statue, that's some ____ed up ____ right there.

ok ok...to say things and not offend you or any other 'figure' purist....You guys are buying RUBBER made in CHINA. :slap

honestly how long or how durable do you expect this ____ to be??? Im honestly NOT surprised that there are problems with rubber bodies and suits already. look at ED209, that was just the beginning. Then it was Rambo and Rocky...now its batman, comedian, etc.... the list will go on and on as long as these companies continue to use this soft rubber material on their TOYS. these are not meant to last, even though they appear highly detailed like they would last... you guys are not being realistic if you buy this ____ for hundreds of dollars and think you will have it be mint for years to come.

Yeah statues have flaws too, but you cant deny that it is easier to repaint a flaking statue than it is to fix a rubber figure that is melting.

For the record hotshot, not a purist of anything (have coms, PFs and dios too), my Rambo II had no problems with it when I sold it 6 months ago. How old is that figure? I don't have problems with Sideshow's Creature from the Black Lagoon and he's got a rubber suit as well. Hell, I have a rubber King Kong toy from the 70's and that's still fine. While I do expect rubber to rot, I expect no less from a company using it to understand and know the curing times necessary when utilizing the component, the same as I would expect Sideshow to primer their statues before slopping on paint. And yes, while that might be easier to fix, the cost of a figure is likely considerably less than said paintjob. :huh
 
It sounds like the polystyrene of the packing tray is restriciting the offgassing of the elastomeric thermosets of the rubber material.

Thermosets will decompose at high temperatures as opposed to actually melting.

Yes -- this is definitely a glaring QC issue for Hot Toys, but I can't see anyone really expecting a free fix or replacement from them.
Non-silicone rubbers are always prone to decomposition.

If anything, this is a lesson to the MISB folks out there who never take their collectibles out and let them breathe. The offgassing inside the box is apparently too much for the more fragile rubber components, thus another reason to unbox your figs and enjoy them as intended. I feel genuinely sorry for folks who have futzed up figures through no active fault of their own, but I must admit there's a certain amount of irony in the use-it-or-lose-it reality of their situation . . . :slap

Nice to see you found a new thread to troll though. :wave
Keep dreaming fry guy. :lol
If you took a sec to read instead of just pop in to troll you'd understand.

World according to this dude:

If you:
-are critical of anything I say you're trolling
-fail to completely validate everything I write, you're trolling
-deviate from board conformism, you're trolling
-fail to live on this board 24/7 and whorepost, you're trolling
-mock my sweaty-men-wrasslin' and toygun obsession, you're trolling

watta maroon! :lol
 
This thread is a big...:rotfl My Comedian and DX02 Bats are both normal no leaks or any other problems... I also have many other rubber body based figures the oldest being Krauser form RE4 he is still perfect even after leaving his armas bent for days even months at a time no cracks or anything... Dont mean to rude but I dont believe any of the rubber problems or leaks... Ill believe it when Ive seen it which will be never... I dont know maybe Hot Toys changed the rubber process between the newer and older figures??? :lecture I dont know what all of you are doing with your figures ether... None of mine are in display cases with big brite and hot lights shining on them ever day that might have a big impact on the rubber porblems???

Comedian has been proven leaking right out of a factor box. But thanks for trolling! :wave
