Stalkers head is disintegrating

[Vonhahn]

Any one else notice very fine white resedue all over stalkers head? Mine does...or at least did untill i wiped it away. The plastic is breaking down already? Anyone else?

Silly you, should have waited for the dust-free version

I had something similar happen to my black firefly head. It had been in the box since I got him. When I took it out a few days ago I noticed it. I just erupted it off.

Maybe it is some secret Chinese weapon....

I have this also. It seemed to come off when I wiped it with a towel though. I does seem to be some sort of breakdown. I'm not sure what is going on here. The figure was in a detolf and none of the other figures next to it have anything like that.

Dust?

No it wasnt dust as i also had him in a display case and the figures next to him had no such resedue.

 

[Keenan]

Could be a mold also- if it was stored in a garage.

I dunno. Wrong company as far as product breaking down. That's Matty and HotToys.

That headsculpt is completely wrong for the character. This is for the best.

I don't know what you're talking about. Back in the day, Uncle Ruckus would have made a mean Stalker.

 

[BuddyGus]

Apply cocoa butter, problem solved.







Sorry, I just couldn't help it.

Could it be some sort of powder that they used to get the head out of the cast and there might be some residues? I have _____loads of miniature figures and sometimes they have more or less kind of a white powder or "grease" on them.

But if it comes of by wiping and there are no visible damages, then I suppose it isn't that bad....maybe

Because they come out of the casts magically painted.

yes,my stalker had the white residue,but it wipes off easily

its a corn oil used in plastics to remove from the injection molds

Some of my MOTU Classics had the same white film,but it wipes right off

no worries about the plastic breaking down,its normal

Well I didn't claim to be an expert about these modern casting techniques or how they actually do it. I though about the paint thing, but like I said; don't really know for sure how these are made nowadays. For example it seems that the head of cobra sniper is mostly one lump of black rubbery plastic straight out of the mold. You can hardly call those painted. The most certain fact is, that they do use some kind of a powders and oils. But hey, whatever.

Not it isn't because captain a-hole says it can't be and he is always right, right.
