Is it possible to fix the HT rambo 2 body tears?

[thenammagazine]

why the body tear like that? you pose a lot of times? or it tear itself

Doesn't matter. If you stick the body in a single pose and leave it in that pose for a while, it can still do that.

What if i never move it just leave it in the original position?

Then you might as well buy a statue.

This issue is one I fear as well. I have Oc Batman, the DX02, Dutch, STARS Chris Redifeld, and Rocky with rubber bodies. I havn't had any issues with them yet knock on wood, but Chris I've left in a basic pose with his arms down, same for OC Bats. Dutch and the DX02 I have holding their guns so the right arm is bent a tad to hold it right. I'm suprised hot toys doesn't make new truetypes with muscle scuplts to fix this issue.

P.S. Does the T2 T-800 have a rubber body too? It feels like the chest is rubber but the arms are plastic. :

P.S.S: Love the new sig Nam lol

i didnt waste my money. the original hot toys rambo figures are extremly hard to come by and to buy them complete and undamaged is like 300- 400 bucks and im sorry if i dont think a 12" figure that i plan on taking out and displaying is worth all that money. i actually just bought the rambo 2 from someone on this site for only $115 shipped and that was awsome price and is complete with everything je came with. the ONLY problem is the tearing in certain parts of the rubber muscle. you can see some pics right here:

i feel bad about this but still it was a great deal and i thought maybe there is a way i can patch it up.

It seems that this guy has been displaying his HT Rambo figure in a dinamic pose for a looooooooooooooooooong time

Yeah, I hear ya on them releasing new TT's that mimic the other bodies. Wish they'd just release some like the newer ones which just have a rubber torso cover but use plastic arms. It'd be really nice if they'd just ditch the rubber all together and release the muscle bods like the oldschool Pred bodies. Being the best in 1:6 I have faith that they'd look great.

P.s. Thanks!

Did anyone ever post this pics on the Hot Toys Facebook page?

Given the age of the figure, and the fact that with newer ones like the T800's and Barney they've remedied it, I don't see what good it would do.

I agree actually. 1/4 statues with no joints are just so much cooler.

V-Raptor managed to fix his Abe

Well, my HT Abe Sapience went through this summer heat pretty hard.
All hail to the material that HT used for his hands! \o/ The neck is OK, btw.

​

Also, I should admit that the painting in the joint begin corrupted long-long time ago.

​

OK, I'll surly fix it, no problem. Little paint, 5 layers of liquid silicon and it will be pretty OK:

​

But why, WHY I should do it with figure that costs me 200$?! ><

So what I'm trying to say, guys: if the new Avadah (c) Na'Vi figures will be made of painted rubber - please, batter pass them. There is not a single rubber product made by HT that would have no problems with time (everybody remember all the Aliens?). You'll be sorry for buying them when some time will pass (I still hope that they will find some nice plastic decision for this line).

Gel Denso also will be fine.
But I've bought silicon on the Internet.
RMFX.co.uk is right, it's always gel-like until you dry it on air.
And it's really good support for the paint even if it's yet all OK with your Abe.

 

[tencozy]

wow, the silicon worked perfectly...i'll have to keep not of that if and when my chris body started to rip.

Wonder if there is any articulation left?

Wonder if there is any articulation left?

Good question.
According to this page:
https://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/gb/water-stone-gb.html
The gel is added to other acrylics to add flexibility to the materials but I doubt it gives as much flexibility as a good rubber suit.

I wonder if it is too late to ask the question in the Hellboy thread?
