Remember that smell?

Post by flyboy_fx » Mon Mar 08, 2010 12:41 pm

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

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