[brewt1mer]

hows the oil problem? has it got worse or is it clearing up mate??

[dinolast]

@brewt1mer More or less cleared up now

[heewonie]

Hey! it's not so bad. Mine was even more worse. All parts abs were leaking with oil. Yours will dry its just down left part with tiny amount of oil. Wanna hear worst case mine was 1st batch oily and peeling. So, I sent it back to hot toys. They are sending me new one. Sucks I had to pay $20 on shipping.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[dinolast]

@heewonie Sorry to hear that.

Just a warning you might still get some oil, but should it will not peel anymore, as that was a Batch one problem

[bleebea]

I recently bought this figure and had the same oil problem...

I tried brushing a little talcum or baby powder on the spot a couple of days ago...and it's been fine up to now.

[etniesvogue]

wow, that's really strange... purhaps you should use a fan to blow hot air on the ab every day for like a week or so, 1-2 minutes every day.

i mean, that oil is coming from somewhere and that somewhere could not have infinite oil... it should be running out in a few days :-?

i'm getting mine tomorrow but i didn't want to risk so i went for the 3rd batch from a seller which is confirmed to have safe figures (both brewt1mer and limitnonexistent told me theirs were fine) so i hope i will be lucky!!

[johnnypoep]

do you like the batman more then the joker dx version? Witch of the two do you recommend to buy as a very first collectable figure? I like the most human like.

Hope to hear from you!

Kind regards,

Johnny from the netherlands

[henshinjedi1985]

thanks for showing this i've been curious about this and this was my major issue with the figure anywho thanks

[johnnypoep]

...Still worth to buy this figure?

[dinolast]

I would say yes, but I do think the price should come down a little if the ab has the residue

[THEDARKKNlGHT1939]

its like watching an episode of The Twilight Zone

[ROCKYBEST88]

thats strange dino

[AustinPasta]

I have the same oil problem on mine. Do you think it is coming from truetype body, or the rubber?

[dinolast]

I think it's coming from the rubber

[AustinPasta]

@dinolast maybe its the glue they used to attach the upper suite to the lower leg suite?

[daliman11]

bizzare. have u contacted HT about it?

[dinolast]

Yes, they don't seem interested.

Other people have complained and have a much worse oil problem, only to get a wipe it off response from Hot Toys

[mikeecko1980]

thats f'in weird man/// damn hong kongies

[lmkc26ez]

That's very strange. I just get mine and it's the first thing I watch atfer unboxing... The only thing that I'm not sure is the system to fix the cape. I don't want to break it :-(

[Snake4431]

Thanks it Works i try this for a couple Day, maybe is it a chemical reaction to cold air and the suit save the cold of the air and reproduced the oil substance.

Thanks for the Video:)

[kungfoolai]

wow..thats strange..

[limitnonexistent]

Even if they cant fully fix this Hot toys should just tell us whats causing the problems anyway and put some minds at rest.

The american batches should be ok i hope

[RobotOnLine]

I'm sure it will eventually dry out over time.

Don't keep breathing like that, you'll hyperventilate!

[dinolast]

Ha ha it's funny you mentioned that because I felt a bit dizzy after that video.

I just wanted to let people know that leaving it rather than rubbing the oil off all the time, is probably the best solution.

[Starkiller830]

I think it is the protective residue the figure's paint is glazed with to stop the corossion of the the paint. If it is, it should of evapourated within 2 minutes within being opened.

[brewt1mer]

very odd....
