    Some questions about the Worldbox bodies

    Hi all, I managed to nab a Hot Toys Terminator T800 at a decent price, it's a great figure but it suffered some damage while I was handling it. It broke at the waist! I've examined it to see if it can be repaired but the HT body is a pain to repair around that area without cutting into with a...

    Sticky plastic

    Apologies if this topic has been posted before. I bought a First Gokin Krang figure off eBay and the figure feels quite sticky. It's quite noticeable and you can clearly feel the sticky/oiliness. I'm reluctant to send it back as it's otherwise in perfect condition and is a hard to find item. I...

    People who live in humid climates, how do you store your figures?

    For the collectors who live in the more humid parts of the world, how do you keep your collectibles pristine? Humidity and heat play havoc with almost everything in the home, damaging card and paper as well as leading to mould. Do you folks keep the air con on all day, or a dehumidifier...

    Oily plastic?

    Can anything be done to treat plastic that’s started to become oily? My Medicom Boba Fett has started to develop some very mild oiliness on some parts. I understand there are products that are used to prolong the life of rubber and pleather on figures. Is there anything similar for plastic...

    Screw covers on Iron Man figures

    Hi all, not sure if this is the right place for this? How would I go about removing those little plastic bits that conceal the screws on a Hot Toys Iron Man figure? From what I gather, Hot Toys glued them in place so it’d be a pain to remove without causing damage but people have removed them...

    Alternative to the DX09 Batman body

    Hi all, not sure if anyone can help but here goes. My DX09 Batman suit has started breaking down (funny smell, sticky). Does anyone know if there is a third party rubber suit body?
