Is it an oily exudate from the vinyl head, or did the factory apply a little mineral oil to enable the head to pop into the torso?WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Tyson may have been doing some sparring before you picked him up and worked up a light sweat.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

The reason I mentioned mineral oil as a lubricant was because I'd had several Hasbro Marvel figures that had had the joints seemingly lubricated.
Didn't the Mattel RetroAction figures have an oily exudate problem?WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I got the astronaut one and didn't have that problem.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Mine is one of the first ones and it seems fine. Mine has been standing open on a shelf for a year or so.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

FYI Mine is the Cowboy guy.
I tried wiping the "goo" off his body and head and all I did was get residue from the paper towel stuck to his body.
I'm going to have to take him completely apart and wash him clean.Check out ALL my customs at https://www.facebook.com/megowgshcustomsComment

It is most likely a chemical reaction between the head plastic and the torso plastic.LOOK

Hello,
I recently purchased a Mike Tyson Cowboy action figure on eBay. Here is the auction:
Upon opening and examining the figure I noticed a sticky substance on his head. Upon removal of his clothing I discovered this sticky substance all over his chest, neck hole, every joint, and staining his shirt.
You can see pictures here: http://megomuseum.com/community/show...figure-melting
I first tried to wipe this substance up with a paper towel and failed. I then decided to take apart the figure and wash each individual piece with soap and water. The body pieces and head are still tacky as I was unable to remove all of the substance.
I am writing to ask for a replacement Mike Tyson figure. I purchased the Cowboy version only because it was a good value, but in all honesty it does not matter which version of Mike Tyson I have (Cowboy, Astronaut, or Original), I just want one that does not have this "slime" on it.
I would appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
AustinCheck out ALL my customs at https://www.facebook.com/megowgshcustomsComment
