my replacment is plastic - looks and feels very different to the rubber of the one I sent back to them
There was a dealer on this board that got rejected with replacements. He had 12+ figures or so that was leaking from his customers that Hot Toys refused. It seems to be a grey area and so much hassle that never ever ends.
Then Sanshou sent his back to Hot Toys 2 - 3 weeks ago but I'm dying to find out what happens with that because even though with no confirmation Hot Toys seems to be carrying another stunt that could start soon. You send off your body for replacement then they reject the body even after photos of the incident and could end up sending you back the defective body. However no word on that yet.
Somebody else here his figures was so shiny and melting marks Hot Toys still rejected him even photos with the flash on.

Them you likely got nothing to worry about.
I would probably not have indicated that some areas have dried but also highlighted the fact that the material underneath the abs have started melting as well (I can even see it in his existing pics). Overall HT's strategy is to reject as much as possible but there is always room to push back. Just gotto keep trying
Sad indeed. Hot Toys makes me feel like I've stolen 2 DX figures as if I'm trying to get two more free out of them.
It's becoming hard that when your email goes straight into their trash can and erased.

I just posted in the other DX Batman thread but this is probably more fitting place. I just received an email back from Hot Toys saying they wont replace my DX Batman because its the leaking isnt severe enough. Surely ANY leaking is more than enough. I gather this has happened to a few others too then?

Pretty much will happen to every figure outside of the DCD run. The above poll is fairly inaccurate as a nice chunk of the no-leakers voted before theirs started leaking. It can take anywhere from arrival, up to a month and longer, before signs start showing.

i just post this same email ... im done with HT i just canceled every HT order i have this is why SS is the best in my eyes
Hey Guys,
I am sorry to hear that Hot Toys wont replace the faulty items. How many people have been rejected by hot toys? Let me know, I will contact my hot toys connect and try to help you guys out in anyway possible. It wont hurt to ask....

I bought 2 back in February. I'm not even getting any responses from them. I have proof of purchase if this solution goes any further.
Both figures biceps are leaking like a bad sweat while one has blistered badly.

Yeah, i got mine in January and it always seemed fine. I just thought i was lucky,until a couple of weeks ago it finally started leaking. Was a bit annoyed that i'd have to get a replacement. Then got even more annoyed that i cant get a replacement.

The oil is corrosive to the figure though. It creates a shriveling effect to both the decals and the painted covering over the rubber that you end up getting a orange peel effect.
It doesn't eat into it right away. It takes months.

OK boys
If your figure is leaking do NOT expect that it will stay in shape!! I can now confirm that the residue will melt the plastic asn my underpants layer now has started to melt and lost the pattern it use to show
I can guarantee you this was almost fine last time I checked but I have not kept up with cleaning it and so I strongly advise all of you to slip something in between and continue cleaning it or leave it to deteriorate enough to hopefully get a replacement as all of your figures will eventually get to this point
