Mine is still fine. Had the mouth closed for a week before the images started popping up. Been over a month since I got it.
Noticed on the instructions sheet which was added to the sideshow site recently it states "don't close mouth for long periods of time"
I'm wondering if it's a case of batches some maybe cast in thinner rubber.
I cancelled mine went with sideshow and I'm going to mod for posing. Dam sucks as I wanted this one but that chin issue and price point I refuse to support the QC issues if Hot toys won't fix it.
It's funny that the instructions say not to close the mouth for long periods of time, when it comes out of the box with the mouth closed. If they cant even pay attention to their own instructions then what makes them think collectors will?
I just canceled mine. I wanted to display mine with the mouth closed....and with how widespread this issue appears to be, there is no guarantee it won't rip.
I typically avoid HT figures with rubber suits or moving rubber parts....but didn't think this would would turn out to be such an issue as it was just a small jaw joint.
The only way for HT to make amends for this is to make a solid head sculpt and send it out to all those who decided to keep the figure. But they won't do that. So hoping they release a 2.0 later on with a solid head sculpt.
Even if they did that, they'd require you to pay to send the old head back to sideshow.
Perhaps being stored in the hot containers onboard the ships for so long had an effect on the material?

I cancelled mine got fully refunded with deposit from Ssc then ordered the Ssc one. I got a gut feeling when he starts shipping this is going to be an even more widespread problem which many collectors will have to get in line for a refund smh. Just thinking ahead, no time for subpar qc out of the box.

If you want one I'd say get the Sideshow version. No articulation but much better likeness and no chin tearing.Is this worth the price or should I just stick to 1/6 collecting?
