Are we sure it's mold and not just some weird crud?
Looks like mold to me.
That's definitely fungal. Can't tell what species but any mold is bad enough.
Huh. This is the first I've heard of this specific issue. I've had only one bad run-in with a screw on a TF and it was a secondhand figure whose screw head had already had its grooves worn down. Although the material did seem oddly easy to wear down further; I had to stop and get a bigger Philips head to properly remove it without making the problem worse.
Soak it in bleach. It will be fine.
Huh sure enough. Mine isn't nearly as bad as these pics, just a couple of small spots on only one wing, but it's there. I just sprayed it with bleach cleaner and scrubbed it with an old toothbrush.
Very curious though. Seems like there needs to be some sort of growth medium and I wouldn't think just the plastic is enough. I wonder if there's been a change to the plastic recipe or whatever they use for mold-release (the other kind of mold) agent?

Sporestorm.
Seriously? Not ONE Cosmic Rust joke? Did I miss it...?
But I am unsure as to bleach, due to it potentially destroying the plastic, and alcohol can strip paint. Light Lysol might be a better idea. I myself am just very confused as to this entire thing, I'd assumed the packaging when I first heard about it, I certainly never expected this.
Nacelle is now my Egon Spangler homage character, though I didn't order one and I doubt I will.

Yeah, I think I made the right choice by cancelling.
Here we go again.
There's got to be a better way to phrase this.
"When they released this toy they broke the mold."
"Those hate plague spores are a lot less problematic than I thought. I still hate them, though."
"FUZZY BUNNIES!
"Hair's to you."
"My-My-MY MYCOTA!"
"This hobby grows on you. And in your shower."
"Acid Storm! Your shrooms are here..."

Don't forget the rubber ducky.
Maybe a touch of vinger in the bath, I don't know to be honest, besides, I'm not getting that figure, however, this is not good, clearly there is a problem at the factory if an alien substance can get into the plastic mix!
Vinegar works great, but I don't know what effects it might have on plastic.
I wonder why it's started anyway. Plastic is organic, and there ARE microbes, including fungi, that will eat it, but its NOT common. Thing is, ID'ing a fungus is often very difficult, so I doubt we will get any answer as to a species or anything. What country of origin is this, China or Vietnam?
I doubt the 'trouble breathing' thing, people inhale more spores than this just going outside, but we'll see what happens.
