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

the one i just got is 3rd batch dc direct, no oil. it actually says on the box. DC DIRECT. maybe if its not too late have him send you a pic of the back of the box.

BUT that being said. id be a little bummed if i got the oily one, but not DEVASTATED, it seems crappy, but not a deal breaker, from what ive seen its very minor on most affected figs, and stops eventually. its not destroying them or anything, it just has a wet look.

not saying it doesnt suck, does. haha and we should def expect more from HT. just saying, i would still love my batman fig, dont be too dissapointed.

i also recomend the batpod if you can find it for under 300 like i did! looks so good!

Oh my...
Never realized this situation was so bad. No wonder the DC batch is so sought after/expensive!
But this has helped me make-up my mind, I will not try to get one of these figures, seems like a complete waste of money.

Haha, that was you? I figured someone wised up and bought it. That's funny. Well, I'm obviously glad you did or I wouldn't have found the one I did. So I guess it all worked out. :duff Why'd you pull it? Decided to keep it or you're upping the price?

A guy lived in my area and wanted to meet up to save on shipping. By taking it out of the store I also save from paying ebay anything. :lecture

If you bought the item from an official retailer, you could actually ask HT for a replacement body. I think you'll just need to show the receipt. In any case, a 2nd batch DX02 isn't as bad as it seems. The leaking oil will stop in time. Personally, it's recommended that you gently wipe it (emphasis on gently) instead of letting it be :)

I think I'm just going to sell this guy as soon as I get him, but thanks again for all the advice iampoch, much appreciated.

Yeah, from everything I've read -- even before this thread -- the oil destroys the figure. And the Batpod is way overpriced. I don't see myself dropping half a grand on it anytime soon... But I believe you, I'm sure it looks rad. I've read that it's really difficult to get the Bats properly mounted on it, though.

I passed on this figure during its initial release since all my attention and not to mention funds went toward other Hot Toys movie studio licensed figures at that time.

Now, while I wait for my first Batman collectible, a Catwoman bootleg I ordered to arrive from Storerooms, I found a new MIB HT MMS DX02 TDK Batman figure at BlackOPS Toys website yesterday for $250. Since this figure is getting harder to find under $300+, I decided to order it from BOT. According to BOT's website, it was added to their inventory in August 2010. Keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't exhibit any of the leaking, peeling, or warped cowl problems that exist.

If it makes you feel any better, the DC Direct corrected release was May 25/26. Where as the faulty batches were December 2009/January/February. I was part of the February release. From the likes of Toys2/shops etc

Just checked out Black OPS's site, doesn't look like they tell you whether or not it's the DC Direct version, which leads me to believe it's not or they'd be advertising it. And it's now going for $300 there, so at least if you get a faulty copy you can hock it on Ebay.

That's interesting. When I ordered the figure from them yesterday, the quantity of the figure they showed in stock was "1". The figure no longer showed up on their site after I bought it. Now looks like they added another one today and raised the price.

Yeah, I don't expect they carry the DC Direct version.

Truly, the lord has blessed thee. Some people have their health, other people have great careers. But here at Sideshow Freaks, we have Hot Toys. I sometimes wonder what the average age of this forum's members are... You'd think kids would be the big toy collectors, but kids can't afford Hot Toys. And, frankly, teenagers and twenty-somethings only care about ***. Which means this forum is composed of grown men. I need to spend more time on ESPN.com...
