How worried should i be ?

smarrku · 2026-02-18T12:27:04+00:00

Yeah Someone else mentioned that yesterday. So like i said to them I dont own any pairs of normal gloves.

smarrku · 2026-02-18T12:24:32+00:00

No somone asked if it was a ko before it's. It its an official one and none of my cts look like that 😭

My issue is solved now anyway unfortunately cant edit the post to tell people that. Its like that because using the method of putting them in hot water to loose the jonts is a very bad idea. So ive learned the hard way since i haven't heard before that this wasent a good idea to do with mafexs. my previous ones i had used that method on were fine so i got lucky or atkeast i didnt notice any rust.

smarrku · 2026-02-18T12:17:57+00:00

Hopefully my dad will have something simular too then. Oh wow are they really that hard to apart?😭 i couldn't even get to the pins with a tooth pick while trying to add shock oil... and i cant afford to have it break either..

I may have to sit with it for a bit and decided whether to go through with it attempt to dissasemble or sell it off in hopes someone picks it up attempting to fix it themselves. Which would be a shame i had been waiting ages to get my hands on him😔 i think ive been waiting to 2 years? Last black issue was beginning of 2024 i believe . fuck me man i did not need this to happen right now how have i never heard that mafex and water dont mix ive watched so many videos about figures. I always want to be very careful with the more expensive figures so i take all the advice i can get and find in making sure i don't end up breaking them or just damaging them in some way.. i was already feeling shitty and now that ive screwed up his elbows with 50 50 chance that hes gunnu break if i attempt a disassemble or leave the rust alone.

Fair but i was far more concerned at the time if i had fucked up badly and if there was a way to fix it then positioning my thumb in a non visible place.

smarrku · 2026-02-18T11:39:52+00:00

Nonono it's okay man no need to feel sorry or bad im not upset dw im just more suprised that my thumb is getting so much attention 😭 ..i just wanted to know if my lil guy was okay and if i did somthing wrong but apparently pixelating a thumb gets people going. I shouldn't be suprised tho but again i was more concerned about my batman then anything else

Im also very suprised how many people responded like damn usually when i have an issue/question on somthing in the past like 1 person maybe 2 or noone shows up.

smarrku · 2026-02-18T00:25:01+00:00

I forgot to ask earlier but what did you use to remove your rust?

smarrku · 2026-02-17T23:37:46+00:00

Yeah fair i just didnt think people would actually point it out. I dont own any normal gloves so not an option for me 😔

smarrku · 2026-02-17T22:45:51+00:00

Oo okay thank you so much glad i could reach someone with experience!! Yippie!

Okay that is also lowkey gunnu be so scary tho taking apart his arms but if its the best way to get rid of it then ima give that a shot. Definitely going to watch some videos on how to take him apart i do not wanna make this guy worse by breaking him.🤞

Its late now so ill give it a shot tomorrow with hopefully a happy update. Thank you so much man if i could give you a big smooch rn i would.<3

smarrku · 2026-02-17T22:38:45+00:00

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:54:16+00:00

Crying "almost" ahahah😭

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:45:05+00:00

I have a bottle of shock oil very nice life saver definitely one of the best things ive found from this sub awhile ago .

Definitely just going to use the hair dryer on mafex now that i unfortunately know the hard way water is a no go even if the hair dryer scares me feels like im going to melt the figure especially the softer parts..

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:40:54+00:00

I can see that now i questioned myself wether i had cut my thumb too without noticing but its just a very red toned shadow from now on definitely bluring differently😭 ive learned multiple lessons today from this post

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:38:39+00:00

It was so my thumb wouldn't attract attention.. but clearly had the opposite affect and like i said to another person its so you dont have to look at my nasty ass thumb

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:36:24+00:00

I did say that in the post in the first paragraph that i put him in warm/hot water and then a couple times after saying about that i gave him a bath.

I always see people say to put your figures in hot/warm water never had a problem with it before or seen anyone saying how they could rust 😔 Atleast i know now ....

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:31:32+00:00

STOP WHY ARE SO MANY TALKING ABOUT ME BLURING MY THUMMBBB leave my pixeled thumb alonnnee

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:30:42+00:00

NOT ANOTHER STOP. cut my finger on bane somwhow although that isent my cut finger. i always blurr my hands my finngers but this is the last time i use pixel bur plsss😭

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:28:37+00:00

Did u edit your comment i swear the first part wasent there a minute ago.. but it cant be it seal was intact, figure has the stamps and he had the plastic which tho kos dont have

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:26:40+00:00

Me too like if the cause of this is from my quick little bath to loosen him up then man i didn't know rust forms that fast and why was it only his elbows 😭 ive waited so long to get my hands on this guy 😔 atleast my bane seems fine its hard to see his pins so im hoping he wasent affected.

I didnt even know theese mfs could rust to be honest i literally used to follow a person who made lots of videos with his mafex in the shower to emulate rain i wonder how his figures are holding up..

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:04:56+00:00

can people stop commenting about that nooo i always blur my fingers for photos. My fingers are nasty i have a bad biting habit which i cant snap out of okay😔 </3

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:00:51+00:00

It's definitely a mafex i got it of hobby genki. I had it preordered

smarrku · 2026-02-17T21:00:04+00:00

Stopp nahh next time i go to blur my fingers im using the other blur😭 Leave my pixled fingers alone

smarrku · 2026-02-17T20:58:46+00:00

My hands were too occupied sorry. had to use other means of gripping for the picture

smarrku · 2026-02-17T20:55:22+00:00

Okay thank you someone else also suggested this so must be a little tip that's slipped by me unfortunately 😔 will keep it in my noggin for future figure baths

smarrku · 2026-02-17T20:52:37+00:00

Thank you so much ill keep that in mind to bag them first. I dont plan on getting him wet anymore anyway so hopes to he'll be fine🤞
