    It could one of 3 things
    water condensation
    fabric presevertive
    or residue mold release compound
    it does not look like chemical leeching from the plastics

    Is this a good reason for pulling the figures off the card? I just noticed it on my Green Arrow which was boxed and away in the closet. My kid's GA which was purchased at the same time and is loose has been fine.

    Also contact Mattel customer service at the 800 number on the back of
    the card or go to Mattel Consumer Relations - Products, Parts, Service, Instructions, and FAQs.

    If the factory did something wrong or carded the figures before they
    were properly dried, Mattel would want to know about it.

    I noticed this on Green Arrow--I thought it was plastic/vinyl residue from outgassing.

  • Condensation? Oil? Something inside plastic window of Retro-Heroes

    I found a discussion of this in only one other brief thread about the Green Arrows.

    http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=36149

    I just received a set of 4 Retro-Action Wave 1 figures, and each one has something running down the inside of the plastic.

    Anyone else seeing something similar on their packaged figures? Any news or scientific explanations?
