Hot Toys ED-209 MMS204 *RUBBER DETERIORATION* Discussion/Pics

[Michael Crawford]

Will you be at SDCC?
Would you probably have the chance to ask H Chan about that?

I'll be there. Not sure who will attend this year (Howard hasn't in the past but Raymond has, but it depends on schedules and I believe he won't be there this year), but I'll be bringing it up.

Any custom replacements plans?

Does anyone planing to make and sell some cast plastic dome replacements? Like it was for the first release?
I can remember someone selling them on the E-Bay for 25$. I'd LOVE to buy 4 for of them for me and my friends. )))

 

[Natrix]

Never saw replacement domes that cheap even on eBay. They were like $85 from what I remember which I thought was a little expensive so I never got one for my original ED.

Anyone listen to the most recent Hot Toys Podcast? I think they recorded this before all this started, but they actually talk about the ED 209, and one of the hosts said that he talked to someone in Hot Toys and they said it's a different type of rubber than the first one. I can't remember the details, I was half asleep when I listened to it.

And that worked out so well.

 

[Rambler]

Yeah, they modified the older recipe for rubber to deteriorate more quickly.

It's quite sad that this thread is already made when the figure is roughly 3 months old.

Could you also please ask him if its possible to get a movie accurate voice/sound functions while they are fixing the dome?

Thanks, Michael. One of the things I like about your review format is the rated "value" category (even if it doesn't stop anyone from buying, I enjoy the commentary). Generally I'm fine paying these inflated prices because I consider this stuff to be pop art and it's difficult to put a price on one's nostalgia. However, this is definitely a case where as a community we need to send a message that $400.00 for defective product is unacceptable. That's real money that could be spent many other places in one's life more productively than on a rotting sixth scale figure.

Rubber is never a good idea for figures.

Wouldn't normally bother me except in the context of this deterioration.

 

[The Skull]

This stuff looks promising, maybe for those who decide to keep there ED209 this might help

I purchased the 303 protectant wipes on the recommendation of another freak for my DX02.

Yup, Eamon said they recorded it BEFORE we all realized the rotting.

I'm the one who recommend it to him. My batman figures look newer once I used that, however I don't know if it would keep ED from deteriorating since it seems to be a serious issue. I suppose it's worth a shot.
