quick question for the members,do any of you have robot heroes 2 packs,specifically the first few waves still "mosc"??if yes,take a closer look at them and tell me if i'm alone or not.
i finally decided to start cracking them all open(plastic prison's are never good
)and to my dismay,they were all covered in some kind of water resistant dust.the weird part is that they were completely factory sealed still,no holes or creases or anything/damage to the box to let in dust,yet somehow it's still in there with them,even being mosc.the dust itself is pretty thick,and just rinsing them with water won't do it as the water just beads off of it.i soaked shockwave in a cup of water for 10-15 min and when i pulled him out,it was like the dust never touched water.but then the minute i scrubbed them down with sunlight dishsoap and a toothbrush,it was gone......talk about "ick" factor.
this is r/h g1 roddy fresh from the blister pack
mirage and screamer still mosc.see the cosmic dust?(ewwww!)
opened,but still in blister
before cleaning
after cleaning
grim's n shocky,still mosc(again...."ick")
looks like shockwave got it worse.
this pic is after i cleaned and "brushed" only half of each bot with dishsoap.keep in mind they were both dipped in water,had half of each scrubbed,then completely rinsed,yet the unscrubbed part still looks dry and dusty.
after full cleaning
has anyone else experienced this?to get a few notes out of the way....
- i don't smoke in the house,let alone my collection room so that can't be the cause
- it's not too humid or dry in the basement.
- none of the robot heroes i opened today were ever opened before today.
- it only seems to be happening to the robot heroes "2pac" sets.i have the walmart and tru 5 pack exclusive sets,but none of them show this cosmic rust.
