Only real issue with Storm rubber I recall is with their 1/6 Tyson earlier on. And in that instance sounded like a bad batch was used cause the rubber was breaking down pretty quick.

I have those 5 year old Scorpion and Sub-Zero figures and they're good, the plastic for the joints is more of an issue from what I can tell online. No one's torsos are falling apart.

I know people want everything to last forever but if I get 5+ years out of these things I think that's pretty good overall.

Where are you guys buying these? My local import retailers are getting Storm stuff from time to time but not always. I've seen that Storm sells their figures directly on their homepage, did anyone order from there before?

I'm in the US so BBTS/Amazon are easy, I've bought from a couple of Facebook retailers and some sites like eknightmedia.com, Toyzinthebox.com and Surethingtoys.com. They're usually a few bucks cheaper than the big sites or may offer free shipping.

I haven't ordered direct from Storm but have read others who have. You might get your figure sooner but I've basically read that they don't send you a tracking number. The box just might show up one day. I don't like that lack of paper trail so I don't go with them.
