TLDR is an internet slang/abbreviation: "Too long, didn't read". So that's just his short version, with the full one being at his website.

Yeah rubber is a bit of a risk if you ask me. I have a few figures with issues, the most disapointing of which is my Hot Toys Mars Attacks Martian Soldier. It's knees have split at somepoiont in the past couple of years, and not from wear-and-tear. I prettymuch posed it when I got it, and haven't fooled around with it very much at all.

The scariest rubber failure in my collection is a Lord of the Rings Cave Troll that looks like it tried to nussle a rabid panther. I don't think they used very high end material to make it though, so I'm not as POed as I am with the Martian.

Yeah, I live in the subtropics and my cave troll's face melted off when in storage. I was gutted.

Bummer right!? I liked making him roar and clobber things, but one more time and his face is going to fall off.

Hey guys,

For those who were wondering if we can remove leo's accessories without damage him, the answer is YES !
See what I've done with mine. I think he looks way better like that.
You can easily remove the shoulder pads, the armbands and the bamboo chest armor without any danger of breaking the figures because they aren't glued on (great job Threezero !).
Now my Leo is a kind of mix between his designs from both 2014 and 2016 movies.
See by yourself :

Last time I heard was April. So I'm getting my fingers crossed we will hear about them soon. Can't wait to find out if I can fit all 4 in my glass cabinet.

I wonder when these are shipping out. It seems like forever since I preordered these.

Edit---I see it will probably be June now.

It's the common name for generic base bodies in Action Figure Terminology. For example, ThreeZero's Leo and Mikey share the same base body (buck).
