Just brought home Stonedar and Rokkon. Those look just great. I just hope that I wouldn't have to destroy that box when I get them out. I would like to save at least that one. I don't like keeping them inside cards/boxes. One of the reasons is that I fear that they might start deteriorate there. Isn't that what have happened to some figures?

Where did you hear that?
The vintage ones are only now starting to break down and at that it's only the odd one.
It's more to do with the environment they will be kept in rather than the packaging which has air holes...unlike the vintage.

I think it was here. Though it might have been those DC universe figures. People were showing pics of badly discolored figures etc. Aren't those made by mattel as well? Well, maybe motuc aren't that sensitive. That is a good thing.
BTW; this box doesn't have holes, but I would open it anyways since that's the way I like to display my collectibles.

The Rock warriors type boxes don't have holes but they would still let air in unlike the vintage figures.
I haven't seen these discoloured figures you speak of so I can't comment I am afraid.
Some of the lads here might know though.

Remember talk a while ago of a thin white layer on older figures like Faker by the joints. I think it was Teemu who said some of his figs suffered from it but the layer was easy enough to wipe off. If that isnt what you're referring to then

Yes,the earlier figures did seemed to get the white film on them that was easily wiped off (and it's not Dust)...once I carefully wiped it away,it has not come back
The white film has something to do with the molding/plastic process removing the moulds from the trays...it's actually somewhat common...Even my Sideshow GI Joe (Stalker and Firefly) had the same white film on their heads which easily wiped off and never came back
so no worries if your figures ever inherit the white film...
as far as deterioration....MOTU classics are not cheap plastic and should last a very long time....even 30 year old Vintage figures are perfectly fine to this day (the only thing that vintage figures will suffer are the rubber bands as rubber eventually rots and cracks,which is why MOTU Classics are SUPERIOR!!)

Well I should think MOTUC would be superior considering it's been 30 years!

Not necessarily,time doesn't really mean anything considering if a company chooses to use cheap plastic in their toy making...Vintage MOTU were built to last as Most 80's toys were
It's the rubber band that hurts the vintage because rubber doesn't last

I would agree with Eamon, on average most manufacturing improves over time as do materials (just look at steel over the last few decades and how much it's improved for knives). I think generally that is true of MOTUC vs vintage MOTU as well.
There's always a tendency for nostalgia to get the better of us and make us think the past was better and I don't think that is always of even often the case. I had plenty of toys in the 80s that broke and I've always been very careful even as a child. GI Joe stuff was the worst in that regard. Most of the vehicles where barely tougher than polystyrene model kits.
Which is another point, adult aimed collectables being somewhat delicate really shouldn't be much of an issue. As an adult you should not be… say… throwing your toys across the room like a child may do.

you're quite right. it's mold release that has been absorbed INTO the plastic during the molding/ manufacturing process, and slowly is leaching out.

Another sub question... Are the charges automatic or do I still need to buy them day of release?
