Hi everyone.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with the DCUC Blue colour Black Manta figure. It had a unique soft texture to it back when it was new. I was cleaning up the detolf it was in and noticed he had turn white and was now sticky to the touch. I tried rinsing with dish soap but it returns to the same tacky feel when dry.  Anyone else have this problem? Any tips?

 

Thanks!

I have had my DCUC wave 3 Nightwing and Sinestro both come down with the grey stickys. I can't recall, and I'm not a chemical engineer, but I believe there is some compound you can rub on it to clean it up a bit. I doesn't really reverse or freeze the process, but it can slow it down a bit and make it ok to look at. I'm afraid thats just the way it goes for figures pushing almost 15 years old.
