The Sweating Jabba

Thank You! :)

first of all, i would like to thank everyone for helping this blog reach 20,000 Hits..
i know i haven't had a good update for a while..
but that's because it's hard to search for my target action figures within my country, plus the latest 3 & 3/4 releases of Hasbro are not fully articulated...

---o0o---

(you may not notice it due to the low quality photo, but those shiny things on his belly are the 'sweat')

and for the actual update..
i have some more bad news for myself, aside from the occasional molds.. :(
it was only this July 2017 that i was able to check on my Jabba action figure again, i believe 2016 was the last time that i did..
and i was surprised to see that its lower body was very wet, with water (sweat) droplet-like particles..
i'm not sure what it was, but it's only during this year that i experienced such thing..
what i noticed is that it's extremely hot now in our country during the Summer season..
probably the result of climate change and the continuous industrialization and commercialization in our city..
and for the past months, i unintentionally placed my storage cabinet near the window, and so it was exposed to sunlight..
the lower body of Jabba is made of rubber material, unlike its upper body and most of the Star Wars action figures..
in addition, the paint material also seems different..
so i'm assuming that the 'sweating' has something to do with the rubber or the paint, because it's the only part of Jabba that became wet..
i wiped it off my action figure, and the liquid substance kinda felt sticky, and it was also erasing some of the paint...

after that, i checked on all my other Star Wars action figures, and everything looked good (well, except for the occasional molds on some of them)..
as a temporary solution, i was forced to move my storage cabinet inside my room where it can no longer get caught by the sunlight..
i just hope that it will do the trick...
