That's the thing though, I remember everyone raving about how poseabiity of the Takara Bats and how it's a full rubber suit and all so I thought, "Great!! I can leave my Bats in a fighting pose along with some kitbashed League of Shadows ninjas as cannon fodder" Bad mistake on my past. The...

The rubber will start to crack and tear, especially when you pose the arms and keep them in position. It causes the rubber to bend and will eventually tear after awhile.

The Begins Bats has an inferior headsculpt and the utility belt does not have a peg to put the grappling gun on. Also, the Begins cape is longer and the suit is only half rubber as oppose to the full rubber version of the Dark Knight OC. The Begins costume has the rubber armor parts glued onto a...

If you got the first batch of DX then you will see the gushing oil problem. We're talking oil forming on the abs and not just darkening of the area or dampness. It was pretty bad. But Hot Toys has done something with subsequent batches although they haven't fully eliminated the problem. I...

If the oil starts to show again, try taking off the utility belt after wiping it down. I did this for one of my DX and while the abs were darker, the oil did not resurface until after putting the belt on again. You're right though. It still is a helluva figure but I still prefer Blade though.

That's bad dude. Did u buy it at retail? My dealer takes most of the oily ones back and sends them to HT for replacement. BUT there is no guarantee that the body won't ooze oil again although it would be better than what you have now.

Yeah, that happened to my friend. We bought it together and chose the ones that were dry at that time. It's not too bad but a chore to wipe down every 2-3 days.

From Malaysia. My dealer let's us do that after the whole IronMan Mark III fiasco with the broken leg nuts and broken arm rocket launcher. In either case, the DX casing is very collector friendly. It opens up like a booklet and you don't have to remove the figure at all. I noticed that a few...

My first batch DX was leaking oil but I cleaned it regularly (sometimes three times a day) and after about a week, the oil problem went away although the abs are shinier. At least, no more oil is oozing out and I don't have to clean it anymore but I had the deformed cowl but it's not too...

Congrats, Geil! It's a beautiful figure. Just make sure not too keep it in dynamic poses for too long. The rubber on the suit will start to tear after awhile. I had a Takara Bats that I posed in a fighting stance for a week and the rubber starting to erode. Never did try it with my OC Bats but I...

I found this article by Google. Looks like the ban is only for toys. https://www.euractiv.com/en/health/permanent-phthalates-ban-toys-approved/article-142028

Thanks for the link dude. i didn't know about this place. Glad to see they're making a new movie. Looks like it will be at least 2-3 more years before we see another one. I hope I don't have to wait that long for a Commissioner Gordon.

Is there gonna be a Batman 3? Haven't heard any buzz on it. I hope HT does a Gordon before then. Hate to wait so long for it.

Try ebay bro. Got two hits for Robocop here: https://cgi.ebay.com/Robocop-3-Hot-Toys-MMS32-1-6-Scale-Sideshow-MISB_W0QQitemZ320509483754QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9fda9aea OR...

FYI, this is ending soon. Not the V1 Supes but a much better version imo. https://cgi.ebay.com/Hot-Toys-1-6-SUPERMAN-RETURNS-SUPERMAN-2in1-Superman_W0QQitemZ320506618434QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9faee242
