DX02 residue in abdominal area, has yours shown signs of it?

Seems like softer would be a good thing. Better poseability.

can someone post a pic of the DX02 boots. I could swear the new ones look different, softer and cheaper looking. Again could be my imagination, but it was the first thing i noticed on opening the replacement.

A picture of the v1 boots or of the original DX02 boots? Because HT didn't send out new boots, at least for me, Toys2 kept my boots and guantlets and just sent back the body, everything that could be taken off was.

Which wave is Alter Ego selling preorders for? I no wants the oil.

^ that would be the DCD release. 3rd "wave" - signs have been pointing to it being trouble free but we won't know until we've had 'em for a while.

Just want to chime in to keep people up to speed, I've had my replacement for a week now, no issues with the biceps or the stomach. This is by no means an "all is fixed", but, I didn't even get a full week with my original figure before problems kicked in, so it is sadly a milestone for me with this figure

Sounds good so far!

Well I hope it is your imagination and it won't be cheaper looking.

I got an almost complete replacement. I was unlucky enough to get leaky abs, a faulty PERS and a badly finished cape. And then I forgot to remove the boots! So almost everything is from the newest batch. As I posted earlier in the thread, as soon as I took it out from the box it looked different (at least to me) and I wasn't expecting it to except for the chest plate. The boots seem very soft, a little shiny, like slightly cheaper rubber, not as defined. The eyes on the PERS seem a little less round (although my original was faulty). They seem better to me. And the rubber on the arms seems softer.

It is very hard to be sure because I don't have the original to compare it to. I'm away from it this week, but I will post some pics when I get back. Has anyone gotten a DCD version yet?

My boots are pretty soft too and they're originals. As far as the suit and detailing, I really can't tell any differences, only thing I detect, and might just be in my head, the grey paint for the kevlar on the sides of the shirt and legs seems to contrast better against the black of the rest, which is a good thing.

This DX02 has provided more conversation and debate than any other collectible in history...

 

[MaulFan]

Well, it's the only figure I know of that's shipped with so many configurations.

1- Original figure, flaking suit paint, warped heads.
2- Corrected figure, now with leaking abs.
3- First replacement, plastic sheet between shirt and pants, still leaking.
4- Second replacement, plastic shirt and biceps

It took 3 attempts at this figure before finally reaching a design that, in theory, will be problem free.

Fingers crossed..!
...oh wait, whats that oily residue coming from it's ass...?

It's not as good as you think. If you bend it too far you wrinkle or crack/mark the paint thats over the rubber.

No worries. Batman was eating tacobell

I would like to know where the fella is that cut his up for the replacement from Hot Toys. Why he never explored and shared with us, the pieces that was oozing. To see if there was traces of glue behind the plates if it was dissolving or whatever.

 

[Sachiel]

Maybe he died from poisoning?

Hey guys just wanted to let everyone know that it's been about 2 weeks now with this new replacement body and not a drop or shine of oil anywhere on its body.I don't want to sound off and say problem solved but by the way it looks like to me the only residue Batman is gonna get is from my fingaz.Anyway,that's what i think.Keep you all posted.

Really? You mean the boots are painted instead of being cast in black rubber?

So I got the 2nd batch which had fixed cowl, etc but still leaking which was quite a while ago. I guess it's too late to get a replacement?

 

[Maglor]

^^^^^

Never hurts to try.

Its not, mine was a second batch, I was waiting for the problem to be fixed before getting a replacement. Give it a go!
