In my experience, if you remove the batteries during periods of extended storage, electronics tend to stay intact. I still have a couple of Toy Biz X-Men figures from the early nineties whose light-up eyes still work, twenty years later. If you consider that this is a much higher-end toy so they probably use better-quality parts and that hopefully toy electronics have advanced in the last twenty years, I'd say you probably don't have much to worry about if you take care of it.

I really want a nice Hulkbuster, and am considering this. Yes, this is 300. But Hot Toys is 800, and the Comicave one is going to be way more than that. Marvel Legends will cost you minimum 160, but you get 8 other figures with that. The ML one is nice, but not like this, it's a very nice tween-dult toy.

So, given all that, this might be good for me, have a higher end one without going full Hot Toys, work it into existing shelves, save 500 bucks. That's my reasoning anyway so far.

Which Hulk are you referring to? The Avengers: Age of Ultron S.H. Figuarts Hulk was only $74.99 (about 9,000 yen) or so S.H.Figuarts The Avengers: Age of Ultron Hulk by Bandai | HobbyLink Japan
