I'm not concerned with the appearance of the tiny little cracks on mine right now. I am concerned that if it has cracks like this having just been opened, what will it look like in a year? Will it not be cracks anymore, but now degraded into tears? And even then we'll say it's acceptable? What about if it starts to crumble off in chunks at the slightest touch? There is after all some areas of suit exposure on the back of the figure. And, sure, the armor covers up a lot of it on the T-45, but the T-60 has exposed abs and sides and will not hide it so well. And, having problem areas covered up is no excuse for a figure with this much obvious care, attention to detail, development time, and flat out love that 3zero put into it, to be spoiled by rubber. That's my two cents on it. I have a number of figures, and this is my favorite of them all. It's also the one I'm now the most concerned about lasting.
Why companies continue to roll the dice on rubber suits, after all the hassle Hot Toys and other companies have gone through trying to get it right, is beyond me. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The problem is, we're the ones that will be going insane if the day comes when your favorite Fallout figure is covered in rubber tears.
