Hot Toys uses cheap materials. They’re notorious for it. Pisses me right the fuck off every time.

There’s materials out there that last. Why won’t they use them? We already pay through the nose. What’s a few dozen more dollars or so? 🤣

This reminds me, Snake how is your Wesker Midnight holding up? I decided to go on the hunt for that figure once and for all and while I haven't heard many complaints, those figures are still 10 years old. The shirt seems to be the most delicate, I haven't seen any problems with the pants or coat yet

I just checked it. It's no different from the previous decay. It's a 1/5 to 1/4 little slit right next to the zipper and you only see it if you move it and it opens up and very hard to see if you don't know what to look for. I think as long as I don't ever touch it, it should be alright.

I very much doubt the jacket or pants will ever fall apart. The material seems very durable and none prone to cracking. I really wish the shirt was made out of the same stuff.

One thing you really gotta be careful with in regards to the shirt is the little choker on his neck, and the faux leather crap can rip apart if it's stressed a lot. The first shirt I had came messed up there but the one I got now seems good. The main culprit is the zipper doing it if happens to be pressing on it, so you gotta make sure it's zipped to the top and not resting directly underneath.

Alright thanks, I'll keep that in mind. And yeah I don't get why the shirt is different, it was the same material in the prototype pictures.

WTF? Is it 1/4 or 1/5 scale? $600 is pricey as hell for 1/5, which is what the last Mythos line was.

I'd have to knock it down with some points to even think about getting it. I can't believe we've hit $600 for a 1/5 scale statue.

Great for those that want to get the entire cast. I’m good with Mando. Was hesitant at first, because I was afraid he would be a pansy.
