    Robin has sweaty feet

    Anybody else have a pair of Robin booties that have turned oily and sweaty? I dug out my childhood figures over the weekend and I noticed a real distinct shine on Robin's footwear. It had the oily feel when I touched it and when I removed the boots from his feet there was some oily green residue left behind. I know that some heads have a similar symptom of feeling oily, but I don't remember any cases of accessories doing the same thing. Has anybody else seen anything like this before?

    I'm not a chemist but I've observed plastic, vinyl & rubber deteriorate like that. My old high school jacket turned sticky & oily on the sleeves which I believe were vinyl. I just had to toss it. It was decomposing....man, I must be getting old!!

          In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

            almost all plastics are derived from some type of petroleum. If not, then plant based.
            Plastic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

            As we get closer to the 50 year mark on a lot of toys, I have a feeling that some of the mass producing techniques used will catch up to them.
            It's all good!
