Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Given the variation of afflictions with the abs, I think it's possible that some might be out there that won't ever have it. I'm really starting to think that the idea of some sort of chemical or gas being trapped in the rubber by being painted and treated too soon could very likely be the reason, it could explain why the problem isn't uniform to all the ones affected, why some don't seem affected at all. Some guys see it on all 4 plates, I see it on one. If my figure was further down the line than the 4 plate folks, more would be sealed in while mine gave off more fumes or whatever. However, it's still not a fact or acknowleged by HT and therefore it's still a gamble as to whether you'll be getting one that is affected or not. And if HT doesn't figure out the source and put a stop to it, it's surely going to happen in further runs.

not meaning to change the subject but has anyone on here ordered from clot_master i did and it says he shipped it out the 1st and have not received it yet and is not answering any of my emails

I got an Iron Man bust from him last year. The chinese New Year per chance hence the no answering?...
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

How long does the Chinese New Year last?

I don't think it'll come to it but if I get any argument over a 30 day thing because of the New Year pushing out communication I'll fight it, this problem could be because of pushing to get him out before the holiday and if that's the case they can deal with their rushing, AGAIN, on this figure.

It was only September when I was praising HT for giving us such an amazing figure. Pushing the boundries of what we can expect from them. Now we're just bashing them :monkey2

14th to the 19th.

"As I said, the Chinese New Year Holiday only lasts from Feb 14 to Feb 19. But some shops might be closed in advance because the owners might go back to spend their holidays with their families. And they might be open earlier or later. It just depends on the owners. "

Nothing lasts forever. Happens with everything, the good times and the bad times. Sadly it's always the same, when a company gets too big for it's boots = cluster _____k's. It's all about money which = greed. Money is more important than doing things right.

Depends on what you mean by too big. Some people say HT's doing too much, I don't think so, but I do think they've gotten greedy and/or too caught up in being strategic about putting things out and they rush things.

DX Batman was always scheduled for Jan/Feb 2010, which is always the HK release and then distributors vary from there. He went out in the HK in December to have him out before the end of the year, rushed. Some figures have been projected to be delayed until after Chinese New Year for factory shut down, and all signs suggested Batman to be the same, he ships 2 weeks before the New Year, seems rushed again.

If they'd just slow down and take whatever time these figures need to come out right, they'd be fine. Collectors would rather wait 8 months or even a year for a figure to ship defect free than to get him on time and start leaking out of the box.

In theory, this could be a flawless figure, what little we know seems to favor rushed production being the culprit of the problems, if they'd taken their time, we'd all just be praising this figure. Aside from the leaking, I've had just about nothing but wonderful things to say about it, as has everyone else. That's actually been the sting of the problems, if it was a crap figure with problems, you could feel a bit more meh about it, no big loss, but it's an awesome figure so the defects carry this "why, oh why" feeling about the problems.

Well HT did fix all previous problems. I am sure we just need to make HT see the light on this matter :p
Have some faith in HT
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Too big as in before they appeared to have had a somewhat nice steady run with things. Not taking on too much work that they can no longer handle. Therefor too much = rushing = mistakes = cutting corners to speed up things that end up having things sent back more time to get things redone when it should have been done right from the get go end up doing twice the amount of work on the same thing.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Problem is, i don't think their rushing is tied to their work load but more a perceived collector demand. They push to have new movie figures out right at the time of release if they can (Dark Knight, Terminator Salvation, Iron Man, Iron Man 2), as if fans won't want any part of those figures well after the movie's been out awhile, they rush to ship by certain times because they think it's what people want.

All the signs of HT rushing figures, to me, suggest a choice to look better in collectors eyes for having it out a certain time, I've never sensed that it has anything to do with, oh crap we got 10 more figures to do on top of this one, hurry up.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Well they failed with Batman. Thats why we are still buying that in 2010. :D
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

I'm still going to buy more figures. F' ups happen. What I'm most displeased with is the lack of customer service support we're having when trying to contact them. It's so unlike Hot Toys. They seem to be guessing what's wrong the figure and not actually looking into it.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Probably because it could lead to a mass recall.

That's exactly what set me off this morning, as soon as I saw that paint wearing away, my first thought was, fine, Hot Toys can't be bothered to actually look into the matter and just give me a quick "duh" type of answer, they can take my figure back, I shouldn't have to live with a defective item for hundreds of dollars because they can't be bothered.

I'm not turned off HT for products by any means either, I'm still looking forward to the Terminator and hopeful of other things they'll make, I've had various issues with some of their tactics over the years but I keep buying, and when I run into something like this Batman, I just deal with it and keep buying and enjoy the successes.

Overall, I think Batman is a much more fun figure than Wolverine, but because Wolverine is defect free, I'm far more satisfied with that purchase.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

got my DX02 batman today. Bought it from Leo (goodshiped ebay) who claims it's a "second revised batch". Quick inspection as only tomorrow will I really get to know the figure and expose it in the shelf. Here are my first impression regarding the known flaws:

>No warped sonar head. It's perfect and a joy to look. Amazing work

>No peeling at any part of the armor. Close inspection at the back, and it's pretty much perfect.

>Oil in the lower section of the abs next to belt. Mine showed still in the box. I guess it was the first thing I looked. It's greasy and glossy and a diferent look than the rest of the plates. Removed the belt plastic and cleaned it carefuly with an iPod cleaning soft cloth. My two cents? I guess its some substance that is between the upper part of the armor and the trousers that leaks. I will keep cleaning and looking to this forum and keep you informed. Moved everything back to the box. Without counting with this oil bumer, I must say it's a really amazing figure. I cant praise enought this sculpt.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

thanks for the info on this figure i will wait for the second batch before getting one
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Do you mean the third batch, figures shipping right now are the second batch.

He knows it all...:naughty

I'll wait for the 4th or 15th batch to get another one. HT should just pump these out like Shawn Kemp's baby mommas.

By then, everything should be 'fixed.'
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

V!C, I think it is just a matter of time now......

Back to topic, I'm going to wait until BBTS gets them in, I don't like getting the HT figures off of ebay unless I absolutely have to.
