Hot Toys Maintenance - Tips on keeping your figure pristine + $200 Giveaway 

Weatherstripping is essential. Wish I’d done this on my Detolf cases sooner.

Great suggestions, thank you!

Awesome man! Very good info!

Great advice. Many thanks.

I really loved to know about this buddy! I have a lot of pieces and I'm trying to keep them clear and heandly with care but the weather in Salvador " Brazil" is very hard. Unfortunately some hottoys are very expensives and don't resist with the time. Best regards from Brazil! Milton Carlos .

Very helpful content 🤩

that broke's my heart i didn't have a single Hottoys figure but my wishlist that Leon RE4 figure is so expensive now

Thank you... Good tips;)

Thanks for tip

Love the look of hot toys but can't afford one

thank god i'm never tempted to collect iron man but the problem doesnt end there my favorite ht figure which is anne hathaway's selina kyle is peeling off i also want to pick scarlet witch, but then again, the leather suit is a deal breaker

Congrats btw

Honestly i love and collect Hot Toys but they are so fragile that some times i regret i don't collect Mafex or SH Figuarts you can do some crazy pose on those and they are still very nice figures.

I was the 100th like!~

Found this thing called 3D LVP conditioner, basically for your car interior for materials like leather, vinyl, and plastic and rubber, what's your opinion in using it as an all in one for hot toy materials preservation?

Hi! Thanks for the video, very useful. The led on my Captain Marvel's wrist simply broke. Not the peg itself, but the little bulb inside it. Do you know if it can be replaced? Her forearms are not removable.

Is there a way to clean color that’s rubbed off onto the figure itself? I bought a used Midnight version Albert Wesker and unfortunately the pleather accessories weren’t well maintained. There are black spots from where the suit and coat on his skin. I’m worried that I might strip his skin color if I use something that’s not water and elbow grease. Nothing seems to work though.

Could you please upload how to fix a pleather jacket that is damaged.

Good video. Though I wouldn’t leave a non cloth material figure in a dynamic pose for more than a week! I put JL Flash in a running pose for one week. When I went to change the pose, the material around the knees was stretched and now a little baggy. Also, the Superman figures 😩 the material WILL stretch EVERYWHERE. My figure was in the hover pose with the feet slightly pointing down and the knees slightly bent. After a few months, that position stretched the suit and now they are all baggy 😭. Also, the horrible flight stand holder WILL damage all figures by the force of the holder. Pleather material is 💩 too! Always flaking off. 😡

Do any of the recent diecast figures like IM MK47 ,Mk5 and Mk85 have plastic/rubber parts that might turn pink?

I'm not sure what the Video Game Spider-Man series figures suits are made of. How would you suggest taking care of them?

Hi, thanks for the tips :) ! About the room UV light, if I have a zebra blinds curtain, but only certain amount of lights going in the room. (not direct sunlight) is that okay for my HT figures ?

i live up in canada its not exactly overly humid or crazy hot even during summer would you say id need to use 303 or pleather protection, would i even need to or necessarily apply often to my hot toys figures that has rubber or pleather components?

Just buy mafex and shf and avoid the hassle

Nice video. However, there are some incorrect parts I would like to point out. Spiderman figures using rubber-like materials for the costume (with the exception of probably just the home made suit), they WILL get damaged if you bend any the joints enough, leaving creases which will NOT disappear. Another thing to be careful about that wasn't mentioned with the Spidey figures is that the so called "crotch-grabbers" will leave a dent-like mark on the suit if you use it long enough, regardless of the figures' pose. BTW, the Ironman MK 3 shown in your picture is the original 1.0 version and is NOT the diecast version nor does it have any diecast parts.

What do you recommend for my 1/4 scale Vader should I use the leather care products or uv protection I’m a little confused as to what would be the best way to go about it

I got wonder woman last year and she's only ever been in museum pose, the leather strap became undone I'm guessing cause of heat.

Hey there, I have a question for you. I got a captain Rex hot toy about a month ago and its still in its original packaging, it’s double boxed and has protectant card board paper in the box with it. I’m in Atlanta GA, and it’s been 95-100% humidity outside over the past few days and I’m starting to get worried about the humidity levels in my home. Do you think damage to the figure is worth worrying about or should I consider getting a dehumidifier?

8:58 - Isn't that Hot Toys VMG 16 Ada Wong? I have one and I am worried now :P

I was the 301 like

Boooooo pleather...yeah talking to you dredd

Am I late for the giveaway?

I protected all my leather on my Terminator figures with a special leather sealer. Takes time to do it because you have to take off all the leather close and belt off the figure to paint them but it will never flake away. You can fix the one that starting to flake off too. I just got a sideshow Indiana jones premium statue use and the leather jacket has started to flake off so i will do that to restore the jacket. I will have it on my IG wen its done if you like to see that. My Terminator already there. @Nofearcustoms.

So there is a benefit in living in the uk 😆
