Sticky-saurs...

[Seijun]

So at some point I noticed that the arms of my trex now have a sticky feeling to them. I have noticed this before with the more rubbery parts of very old toys. One of my old tsukudas is also very sticky. Has anyone else experienced this with their figures? Anyone tried to clean it off?

Degradation of cheaper plastics unfortunately. It doesn't help if they've been in mild-extreme heat.

My Spinosaurus on top of my souvenir cup is sticky as...well... you know the issue. I live in the desert.

Not only cheaper plastics. There is also a general thread ( well several ) for this issue in the Dinosaur Toys General section. Not sure why that has not been made a sticky thread yet.

Quite properly.

Do keep in mind Dino-Riders was a toy release from 1987 to 1990  and since they used many hardened rubber parts this may also be why they get sticky over time.
Sun exposure can also worsen such cases and moisture levels in your living room etc.

I also have my DR collection displayed in my hallway where no sunlight can breach them.

Other than that dunno why this thread was posted here in the Dino Riders section hah, must of been an accident hehe

If someone bumps it (them) I can merge and sticky it.

Likely. The horns of my Torosaurus also feel slightly sticky.
