Hot Toys rubber deterioration

[Foxdie45]

It does make me real sad that everyone does team up on me. Oh wait not everyone cause that would imply every board member. Hey it's easy to pick out one target especially on a message board. Especially since some people judge others on a post count, like it suppose to mean something. Back to the argument, you keep making excuses for the original point of the argument. Wait I was not suppose to respond to you anymore cause it is getting exhausting. Arguing with you is very hard, plus I am not Optimus Prime I can not take you all on.

Anyone have any good remedies for Hot Toys thread deterioration?

I feel these images are the answer to your question....not sure why...they just are

The double negative shows he's been educated.

I guess it's a reasonable assumption for one to make when joining a forum about action figures, that the majority of members must be pimply-faced, pizza-munching, energy drink guzzling, live-at-home, Wayne's World types with a weekly allowance from mum that helps them finance a Toys'r'Us figure collection as a surrogate for social contact with the opposite sex. Poor lad is hopelessly ill-equipped to argue his way out of a paper bag.

That shield looks like it is made out of rubber

Has anyone had any trouble with the rubber arms yet? Mine has started tearing at the elbows!! I wonder if hot toys would replace them or could I replace with regular arms????

It the tear is small you can repair it with super-glue.... HT's rubber/silicone body sticks to it great (sometimes too great, so moderate amount of super-glue)

What it does it actually distributing the stretching area to the parts besides the tear, should be fine, and you should not stress the rubber part long term.

which figure?

 

[xjamiex]

Yea, what figure...I'm scared now

 

[lerath666]

it's not that. I'm just wondering what figure he has that's rotting.

I've swapped ALL my muscle body figures to their more recent equivalent, except my transformed jack krauser.

 

[Darkmatter]

hot toys had a rubber deterioration problem a couple of years ago with their alien and early predator figures. i haven't read much about the problem lately. i wonder if there is anything you can apply to keep the rubber moist and flexible?

Yes Armor all ( DON'T REALLY DO THIS )

Armor All might be good for various rubber fittings in house or on a car, but not sure if I'd use it on HT rubber bodies.

You can not ever (ever) leave rubber arms/legs in bent position. Only pose figure when taking pictures, return to neutral position. Display as neutral pose or just dont buy them
