Loving those pics! My one issue with my detolfs is the shelves not being high enough to have supes flying. Does the waist grabber damage his suit at all? I'm reluctant to use it on mine after the MOS stand would peel part of his suit away if I left it for any length of time.

Thanks, I am probably not going to keep those c-clamps on Supes for long term either.
 
Loving this one. Split decision, but no regrets.

Tracking on my figure has been saying it's in Transit in Canada for the past two days, why you no in my hands?
Before that it was in Chicago which is a 6 hour drive from the border

I'm normally very, very, very patient (as Hot Toys Collectors learn to be), but when it shows it in transit on route to destination.... I can't wait!
Crossing fingers it's here tomorrow/today
 
Hey guys, noobie here - this is my first HT and I've only had him a couple of weeks, so I've mostly been just cautiously moving the limbs around after watching some demo videos. Glad to hear the hands are more difficult than usual to swap on this guy, because after the twenty minutes I spent clammily trying to ease his fists into those gauntlets, I was starting to think I'd wandered into a hobby that requires a surgeon's skill set. I haven't really seen anyone talk about this in the videos I've found, so I was curious just in a general way if I'm shortening the figure's lifespan by posing him too often? Since he's my only one I have him on my desk and end up tweaking the limbs a couple times a day. Do people find with other ones that it's best to just pick a pose and let him be?

Welcome! I would say that as long as your poses aren't extreme, then it is fine to leave him. For example: I wouldn't leave the arms bent for a long period of time. You won't damage the figure by reposing him as long as you are gentle and patient. The figures can take quite a bit of posing I've found. I'd say just be gentle :)
 
@ghost - it really depends on the material of the suit, when concerned about extreme poses or posing too often. There are figures that are using rubber or rubber-like material that may end up damaging the material after a time, sometimes environmental factors also end up damaging the material. For this figure, since a combination of plastic (the armor) and cloth, it should be safe to post the figure in extreme poses without causing damage.

However, the cloth material is not just simple cloth. I think HT is printing some sort of rubbery material onto the cloth to create the patterns; that over time may turn up some peculiar side effects. It may begin to stick to each surface, or may peel off eventually. No one can tell until time passes. I'd say just enjoy the figure, which seems like you are and just examine your figure or check the thread for any changes.

adjust it from back(make it longer just like your bag strap)

Is yours pretty much pulled all the way to the end then? I'm aware that it could be adjusted in the back, but I've adjusted mine pretty far and it still doesn't cover the clasp. I still have a very slight bit of slack remaining, but I don't want to pull it all the way out.

The act of moving the limbs themselves in very subtle positions and doing minor tweaks, I think you would be good doing that near an infinite amount of times. The figures are meant to be poseable and therefore, moving the joints is perfectly fine. However, as others have mentioned, what I would be wary of is leaving them in an overly dynamic pose where joints are bent to their limits for a good amount of time. By a good amount of time, I mean months (probably would take even longer though). Not necessarily because it would have adverse effects on the joints, but it's more the material of the suits that I'd worry about creasing over time or potentially ripping. Also, figures that are holding something with a bit of weight in their hands (such as a Captain America figure with the diecast shield or a Thor figure with a diecast Mjolnir) I personally wouldn't leave in a dynamic pose where the arm holding the weight is raised up high at anything above shoulder level.

For figures with rubber arms (such as Thor figures or many female figures), I also wouldn't leave those in dynamic poses where the elbow is bent at the joint because it could stretch the rubber there over time and leave stretch marks.

And you're right about needing not to worry about the difficulty of changing hands on the standard figure based on how difficult it was to change Armored Batman's hands. Changing hands are generally never a problem, this figure was an exception.
 
Thanks for the answers guys; appreciate it. I have a couple more figures on PO so I was excited to find this forum not only exists but that people are having constructive conversation about the pieces on it. Cheers!
 
I wonder when in October that light up spear from OSK is going to start shipping out. I haven't looked recently, but I recall it saying the last date to place a PO was September 18th and that it would start shipping in October. Didn't give an exact day though.

Saw the same on their site.....nothing change. Hopefully we get this soon. there was some pics a while back armored bat and the spear. Looking freaking amazing. Can't imagine posing armored bat without the spear. :lol
