20th century icon. Vivacious woman.

This arrived very shortly after i saw your video 😢. Underwhelmed. I dont drink so you'll need to take a few for me. Im hoping to attempt a repaint like it looked in the original promo pics.

Weird, I got mine in ok condition. I think the hands should be pulled lightly with care. Why need to remove the armor, it’s just for displaying. Each Hot Toys have different accessories. I love the headsculpts, not a fan of real hair. It’s better to buy sealed rather than second hand. My opinion.

Why I stopped collecting Hot Toys. I dont have many pleather figures(just Star Lord, Gamora,Nebula,Scarlett Witch) so I figure I'll wait em out and let them degrade and hopefully someone makes better stuff.

Yet another reason I am done collecting

man, NONE of that is leather. NONE. at best a pressed material (like a cheap belt). mostly all fabric with a coating (think cheap sofa). the coating, like all plastics degrades. working with actual leather at that scale, because of thickness and size, would be prohibitively expensive

Would hitting figures with a clear coat before posing help you reckon ?

I had the EXACT same thing happen to my first Star Lord... had the get rid of the old long coat because it disintegrated and I also tossed the bag as bad as that felt. I bought the exact same short coat and its holding up well. I also lost my Age of Ultron Black Widow costume due to the disintegration as well. Feels bad.

Hi Tessjess buddy. How you been? I m worried about my pleather too. Do you think. This videos products will work? th-cam.com/video/fP0bqdIeKXc/w-d-xo.html

post from overseas is an absolute ripoff especially from oz and usa really bad great piece tho mate wish i could afford this i have the mattel version wich is okay thanks for sharing mate

Thanks for this share! My Crow’s jacket and pants are falling apart!!! It looks horrible! I looked online to get a replacement! Found another pleather set for 100.00 usd. Kept looking and found another for $400.00 dollars only jacket! I didn’t buy either! 100.00 for pleather that will fall apart in two or three years. No! 400.00 for just the jacket!! That’s the price of another figure in diecast! These figures are great looking and pricey! That’s why I’m thinking of cutting down on which ones to buy. And I’m seriously thinking of stopping collecting 1/6 figures. Go to statues. Although that has its issues as well.

This is why i usually stay away from pleather figures. Hot Toys just can't get it right.

I would rather pay slightly more for better materials that don’t deteriorate. I absolutely loathe pleather. No belts and straps and accessory parts should be made of anything but pliable rubber or plastic.

yes, HT did use real leather back when their figures were actually limited & not mass produced so that is a real leather jacket & pants on the T-800 Of course it wouldn't be practical to do that on the BD version even if they hadn't switched over to pleather by that point

DX10 is real leather. They didn’t use it that much, I can only think of DX10 and the ghost rider figures. The dx13 is pvc

As somebody who's always worried about deterioration and just began collecting, this was a great video. Love the accent bro you're awesome

The only issue i ever had was with eric draven, but i got him around 2013 the day he came out, and it's been years. I fixed him, though, and repainted him with fake black leather paint. I started using 303 and never had an issue with them yet and im in florida but we keep it cold in the house and i coat them every few months and I've used a clear coat sealant on them also. Really wish they give us leather or something else than a pleather ( last where did you buy those pants and coat for the crow in real leather? Thanks

Exact same thing happened on my figure . Such a shame ….. no idea why they still use pleather !

This is one of the reasons I don't collect hot toys anymore and also they always make a new version of figures and nothing feels special anymore.

Hello... I see you from Chile (thank you very much for your content and sorry for my terrible English)... As a complement to this video: 1.- the first terminator you show... It looks like it's the DX10. That piece has all its clothing made of animal leather, except for the belt, which is made of three-layer synthetic leather (if you look in its box you will see that this characteristic is even specified). 2.- In the 1/6 scale world, synthetic leather is widely used, mainly because it offers thinner surfaces that adjust to the scale in thickness and reduce production standard costs. 3.- There are many types of synthetic leather that are distinguished by their external finishes, but there are mainly two: A.- The two-layer = inner layer that contains the textile that supports the design and seams + outer layer with color and finishing aggregates B.- The three-layer = internal layer that contains the textile that supports the design and seams + intermediate layer of "talc" (which generates the problem of disintegration) + external layer with color and finishing aggregates. 4.-The most problematic synthetic leather is the "3-layer" that has an intermediate layer of "talc". This layer of talcum powder reacts mainly with cold and humidity (in direct contact or due to condensed humidity in unventilated places). When some kind of fluid manages to penetrate this intermediate layer, it causes it to expand, detach from the inner layer of the structure and the outer layer of color, inflating, peeling and detaching from the structure that supports it. 5.- The urban myth of many collectors is to apply "maintenance" liquids to these synthetic leathers (mainly those used for vehicle interiors). This action is a bad idea on three-layer synthetic leathers, because it risks the liquid reaching the internal "talc" layer through seams or weakening of the outer color layer. Now, as an irrelevant opinion of mine (and one that no one has asked me to do), I find that not posing your figures is missing out on a large percentage of the joy of collecting on this scale... It sounds as incoherent as not opening a can of your favorite beer for fear of let it end Well, on the one hand, there are super cheap methods to overcome these problems (I have been repairing and creating costumes for some time) and more than a problem I see it as the possibility of climbing to another level of enjoyment and generating a more intimate and particular bond of composing your collection. (which not necessarily everyone shares and assumes)... A huge greeting from Chile and thank you for your content!...

Terminator was genuine leather. It was back when enterbay were using genuine leather on their 1/4 terminator figure and hot toys did the same. (Enterbay switched to pleather for their battle damaged one) Also, a material back coating doesn't necessarily mean it isn't genuine leather. It might just mean it's taking the very top layer of hide, and sticking it to fabric so it's thinner and easier to work with. It's cheaper than real leather, but way longer lasting than fake leather. But yeah. This problem sucks. It's not the end of the world if it's some simple off the shelf looking pair of leather pants. But a lot of these outfits are unique to that character. You're not going to find third party replacements for intricately stitched and patterned leather pants. I tend to mostly avoid buying figures with a lot of "leather" in their outfits now for this reason. Especially with the cost of hot toys these days.

It's really depressing when this happens especially for the price we pay for these. I used a black liquid shoe polish on my Crow pleather coat and it's kept its softness.

This happened to my winter soldier black widow, so I replaced it with a spare civil war body/outfit and glued on the emblem from the winter soldier suit.

Unfortunately doesn't matter if you pose or not ot keep in a climate controlled environment some pleathers are peelers some last longer. I've had dome sucess using fabric paint will leave a link below or just search sparks tron pleather and you'll find the 2 vids I made

the rambo with the m65 coat has a way better face

You just saved me some money. Thank you 😅

You get your money's worth here

Man, I need a drink!😁

Doesnt look bad. A bit pricey but the face sculpt looks like AS.

I just bought mine knock off version of Superman and BDO03 body i got them both for $35 ,,, the result is Fantastic.

The articulation on it is horrid i was thinking about purchasing this figure but now i must say i have changed my mind lol 😆😂

That Dr Freeze under the black light looks stunning 🔥

I just received it and I thought they had scammed me with an imitation and now watching your video I see that the piece is like that, the biggest disappointment in my life as a collector. Never again Dragon Toys

He looks good ...the trunks look Abit off...I managed to body swap my dr who figures 4 9 and 10 are now a bit better for posing

Would you know where I could still get this?

I need some can I get some

Loving the dinosaur figures

Bit creepy …… but great job on it ……. Looks the part

This is awesome! Nice vid ….. great toy

Damn i dont like it at all mate.

When you mentioned the DX wonder woman, are you talking about the WB100 one?

This would be perfect in 1/4 or 1/3. 1/6 is too small to display properly or enjoy the details

Would this body work for someone who is 6'3 or is it too short?

Frazetta influence. Love it.

Great video! I love your positive outlook on this Present Toys Blade. I also quite enjoy your humor. I've watched too many negative videos on this figure. I own this figure and quite like it, except for the boots and plastic sword. So glad that I found your video review on this figure. If you don't mind, I think that I will borrow the pose that you have him in. Also, no other negative reviewer has come up putting the boomerang throwing blades in his vest! I need to find a metal sword.

Awesome stuff my friend unbelievable! 😊👍👍

Dammmm that Conan is awsome ! I want one

love mine it's stunning
