Just checked mine when I got back after I saw the post/pics this morning. I checked thoroughly (under the cowl, the shoulders, the abs, under the belt).
First one I got back in January/February from the first Sideshow shipment, nothing. That's been 9 months.
Second and third I got from Cornerstorecomics. I think that was like March or something, those check out fine too (I did almost drop one of these on the floor head first when I was handling them. That would have pissed me off. )
I "only" got three full MISB figures but I did get two extra bodies really cheap from Toy Anxiety and off of Ebay (one for Batmobile purposes, another for a back up). The Toy Anxiety one is fine. The one I got off ebay feels different compared to the other 4 bodies, the legs/thighs kind of feel, I dunno, wet. I mean they're not oozing, there's no residue but they feel like there's a hint of vaseline on them or something. It doesn't come off on your hands though and there's nothing visible. I thought that was a bit strange.
Other than that, they're all fine. I looked all over the place, even undid the belt on the three of them and found nothing.
Still waiting for the day where I see some secretion. Until then, these are literally the same figures I bought months and months ago. They even have the same "box fresh" smell. One is in a detolf with Joker, the other is in a acrylic case (sort of worried about air not circulating with it), one is waiting to stand along side the Batmobile and the extra bodies are in the box.
My collection room doesn't have any sunlight coming in and the temp is any where between 60 to 85ish. Not sure if that means anything though. I did check both my DX 02 Batman (DCD versions) that I bought from BBTS and they don't have any signs of leaking in the abs, waist, or biceps. I've been lucky there. How long has it been? 4 years, 3 years? Hopefully that day never comes.
