What people who cancelled their orders are imagining...
Whoever created this pic has a good sense of humor.

My newly delivered DX09 is sitting at home right now and I'm at work.

This sucks.

Still trying to replicate some of the capes I have seen and it's turning into a tedious task!!! how do you guys have your arms setup? I noticed they tend to bulge the cape a lot. I tried to move the gauntlets facing back, and trying to get them perfect....

I opened mine up and nearly everything is great. The suit feels a lot more sturdy than the Batsuit Begins. My one issue is that the magnet came off of one of the faces.

Wow. HT needs to find a better glue. This is really common.

Any recommendations for brands of glue to use on this? I'm new to this hobby.

I think most people just use a super glue like locktite. Someone mentioned that for a day or two, the curing process releases a white gas that can give a white tint to dark surfaces. So, if you use it to glue the magnet back in, be sure to let the face plate dry for a couple days before using it on the figure to be safe.

I see a number of different super glues from locktite. Which one would work best?

Regular I would imagine. It just needs to hold the magnet in.

I wonder if Hot Toys could tell us what glue they used if we asked. I want exactly what they used, just to be safe.

I think the problem isn't the glue they're using, just that it's not enough.

Locktite is a good glue. That's what I use. It's tough to get magnets to stay even with the proper amount of glue though. The nickle plating makes them very slick and the glue has trouble adhereing to it.

Wonder if you could scuff it for a better bond. That works for paint anyway.

I've used superglue on the magnetic Ironman faceplate magnet and that held nicely.

gorilla glue is amazing stuff fixes unfixable breaks.......

Received 2 figures last week.
And I superglued the magnet on the belt after I read about this.

apologies for not digging through the whole thread, but what's the secret to getting the cape to hang down straight like that?

 

[DiFabio]

Pressure and time. Thats all it takes really, pressure, and time.

Get busy futzing or get busy dying.

I took the hands and gauntlets off mine - makes the cape sit a lot flatter down the sides
