I've always liked this figure, but there's an oddity with him which I think has always been there.

The head, left hands and boots are slightly tacky to the touch. Did Sideshow use a different kind of plastic, or different paint? Jason released around the same time though there's no tackiness at all.

Hello, my Freddy is also tacky to the touch.
Head, hands, boots and gloves. I decided to remove the paint to see if the plastic is the problem, once I removed the paint it no longer felt tacky.
These days I hope to repaint to see how they feel, and confirm if it's the paint they used that is causing the problem.

Mine started exactly like this. I removed the paint so it wouldn't affect the logo on the base, but after a year the rest of the boots, hands and head started to get tacky. It should be noted that I live in a dry climate most of the year, I don't know if it's the same with you.

Has anyone else have a Freddy that's turning green? I've only noticed it on mine the other day. And yes the paint (what's left of it) is sticky to the touch and is peeling off All three of the bare hands are also sticky. Strangely the gloved hands and boots are ok.

I've had this figure for past six years, so it's kind of odd the paint has become tacky and discoloured in the past few months.

Just for the record, this is the exclusive version from the first run.

I washed the sculpt. It's still sticky and shiny.

Those custom heads look so much better. I reached out to them awhile back but never received a reply. Oh well. I'll enjoy it vicariously at least.

That makes me feel better, as I ordered mine around the same time but he never updated with Tracking. I have pinged him twice, will keep trying but hopefully he shipped and just didn't share.
