And there was enough oil on the wings to be visible and feel-able, but nothing 'bio' that could be seen at 20-40x (dissecting scope). At that scale any actual mycelium would have been obvious.

I'm in the 'oil' camp for this one, a friend brought his to my place unopened, we took it out and put it under my dissecting scope. No mold or anything resembling it, but enough oil that the wings were actually slippery, and you could see under 20x that there was somewhat congealed liquid in...

That's an improvement, and fits with what we know of the manufacturing process (I and many others give figures and model kits a rinse in water before assembly simply to make the paint adhere better due to residual release oil sometimes messing it up), but in the interest of staying within...

A lot of other stuff going around now, definitely. Then again, some ARE allergic, badly so, so it can't be counted out entirely. It just seems unlikely to be the toy.

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...

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."...

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...

Bob Barker is dead, age 99. No word yet on how much the funeral will cost but I'm saying 44...no,no...$45,000.

If so I'd recommend deleting this entire thing and start from scratch. I attempted to help when this started, I quit when I came to the conclusion that it was just there to get attention at best, or was trolling at worst. Some things posted are flat out hazerdous or illegal, we don't need a...

The hunt continues... But now I know how he lost them!

"Muppet babies, they make your dreams come true... Muppet babies, if streamed they'd all get sued..."

I admit when it comes to any sort of Partsforming discussion, that my first Transformer ever was a G1 Thundercracker. I used a sandwich bag as a near-permanent accessory for him. Still eventually lost EVERY part except for the two wings. So I'm just about immune by this point. Or possibly just...

Next up, the sequel- Zathras: Across the Zathras-verse! "Multiverse has but one rule...'nobody listen to Zathras'..."

I still remember the toy department G2 'Box Wars'... "I AM OPTIMUS PRIME!" "MEGATRON ATTACK!" "I AM OPTIMUS PRIME!" "MEGATRON ATTACK!" "I AM OPTIMUS PRIME!" "MEGATRON ATTACK!" "I AM OPTIMUS PRIME!" "MEGATRON ATTACK!" ...far as I know, they're still there, somewhere in a shuttered KayBee on...

I got a G1 Prime when it was new (I don't think I have pictures) but I clearly remember the close-molded foam being such a paint to get the toy OUT of. After I saw Transformers the Movie (in theaters when it first came out...) I found some hair clip thing laying around in my house and it looked...

Don't worry, I know what to do. Launch the Blue Shell!!!

I love the new Leech, despite no 'pump' on the back, he's an improvement in every way over my original. And he's a better frog than Frog Monger.

One thing I would recommend, you may depending on how you travel, want to plan to mail things back to yourself. If you drive its probably no issue but flying with breakable collectibles or small parts is an absolute pain in the neck, especially if you get anything weird from my own favorite...

They have nothing to do with Transformers, but there are two 'can't miss' stores in Seattle, I think: Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, which is the strangest place I've ever been in, that has displays of everything from real mummies to two-headed animals and carries everything from tourist trinkets to...

Remember, two Rongs don't make a Ring. ...I have no idea what I'm arguing about. Am I winning...? On the other note, I do wonder seriously if the odd 'Tasmania Kid' thing is just due to Snarl (name) being used for the Dinobot, and maybe trying to avoid using it twice. But then I look at the...
