Batman DX is a defective product, as the material however cannot withstand the normal condition, so in any circumstances it will deteriorate time by time.
However, the condition differ between 1 and onother. If yours is worst one, so its no luck for you.

I have tips for you so that it can prolong the live of your DX:


* if you want to keep DX2 in a box, please do like the above pic, put thin cloth under shoulder armor and belt.

For display :

1. Have a thin cloth/tissue under the arm/shoulder kevlar so thar it lifted up a bit and the kevlar/shoulder armor not thouching the rubber arm.
2. Loosen the belt and positioned it just under the abs.
3. Put DX in normal room temprature, not hot and not cold just normal.
4. Minimize pose, and minimize touching any rubber/pastic material(because some can easily ripped the painting off).
5. One a while make a simple pose, here and there, so that the rubber also be exercise, REMEMBER, rubber that stay the same pose in a very long time will CRACK and DESTROY. This is very important.
6. If any oil shows up, just put an oil absorbent gently on the area, not wipe because can cause paint ripped off.

Just relax, it should be fine, mine also from 2nd batch, I saw oild first but after doing all the above(s), the oils stop..never show up since then.

If you pissed off and Give up with your batman DX, please contact me, I will BUY any batman dx with reasonable price, i need lots of them because I need:
1 for diorama batman suit in case.
1 diorama for battle damage
1 for batman with bruce head
many more...

thank you, good luck

Articulation - ***1/2
As I mentioned earlier, the torso and arms have the new female rubber skin, covering the uglier joints. However, this skin doesn't restrict the movement as much as I expected.

The body isn't as perfect as the best TrueType, but Sarah can certainly take just about any fighting pose and holds all the weapons well. I had a little trouble getting the arms across the center of the body as far as I'd like, but other joints (like the double jointed neck and ball shoulders) work great. The elbows come in close to the body, which allows for a much more natural pose.

You can just catch a glimpse in the corner of this pic-
The guy at the front of the pic is Mr Ma Wing-Sing, the guy who created the Storm Warriors, so if it gets his seal of approval I think we can expect great things!




Just found out that official pics of the comic versions of the Storm Warriors should be available in a couple of weeks and Enterbay are aiming for an August release.
The Comic book series of figures is to be known as Action Masterpiece.
More news when I get it.

credit to aemuse at SSF for finding an article about it:



and here's my translation of most of the text (please correct me if i got anything wrong...jun, i'm looking at you )

akashi is from medicom (on the left at the bottom), and bill is from enterbay (on the right)

akashi - it all began with enterbay proposing to us "what shall we do together?"

bill - i've been a longtime fan of medicom, they were always extremely creative and matched the market well. i was a big bruce lee fan since i was small. the reason i started enterbay was because i bought the bruce lee figures released by medicom.

akashi - it's an honour. we already knew the quality of enterbay's products, so thinking about what sort of very first project was suitable, we thought that if we did yusaku matsuda's detective story and worked together, we could really make an epoch defining product. we sent bill the whole reel [movie].

bill - even now we're checking it every day, but it's really interesting isn't it? even if you don't understand the intricate japanese, you can really feel matsuda's intensity and natural charisma.

akashi - it's been roughly ten years since Detective Story figures, but if we make them with enterbay, we'll undoubtedly be able to make something very cool, maybe even causing a revival as a product.

bill - what do you think of the prototype we've made so far?

akashi - as expected, we thought wow. especially the transparency of the skin, the facial expression, realism etc.

bill - as mr. akashi said, the translucency of the skin really comes through. This time we used Medicom's body, and without wondering about the use of our own body, we feel the total balance of the figure is extremely good.

akashi - we plan to release within the year. we'd like to release it before the anniversary of yusaku's death (november 6th), but this is still uncertain.

bill - 1/6 figures that companies have been making on their own until now, that we now co-operate and make together, are very fresh, and perhaps fans too were hoping for such a thing.

akashi - i think that it would be great if from henceforth, the strong points of enterbay and ourselves that have gone into this ultimate unison, progressed to various other future projects.



from the column on the left:


Detective Story is a Japanese TV drama that aired from September 1979 to April 1980 (a total of 27 episodes). Yusaku Matsuda's hardboiled private detective, Shuichi Tsujiyama, goes about investigating various cases armed with his wit. Now, the very first release from Ultimate Unison is this 1/6 figure of Yusaku Matsuda, with body and accessories by Medicom, and sculpt and clothing by Enterbay. The photo is of a trial product, and may well be different from the released product. Detailed specs, release date and price will be in next month's issue.

Is that metal gear from kotobukiya?
