remember that smell you would get while opening a old 21st figure!

Fresh out of wallmart like one of the old BOTB Us figures or the smell when you open up a brand new plane or tank?

I have never had the opportunity to get that experience. Sad, isn't it?

We still need more new 1/18 aircraft!

Yeah, those fumes,
outgassing, probably aren't too healthy for us (As I take a drink from a plastic water bottle).
I recently bought a truck load of vinyl statues/figures that were really new and outgassing a lot. It got me to wondering about longevity and caring for them. Any opinions or recommendations?

I´ve got that smell when I´ve opened the Army of Darkness Figures. HELL, these are extrem.
