San Diego Comic Con 2023 reveals

[JJJ]

Some people don't like having or keeping multiples of characters (others won't do multiples of any given mould, which might cause issues with things like the Seekers). Whatever floats their boats, I guess.

Me, I've been quietly pondering CW UM as an IDW Magnus. Wasn't really considering it because when was Hasbro going to make IDW versions of characters.

Now though...

I saw this going around Transformers Twitter. There might be a bit of a situation with mould growing on Nacelle's wing.

Yes, I saw that today on Seibertron (for those who don't use or like the new twitter - https://www.seibertron.com/transform...-figure/47875/ ).

The images are really disgusting. The plastic itself can't spontaneously grow mould, so there had to be something questionable about how the factory stored the toy parts before they hit the assembly line... or storage of the completed toys if the mould is on the entire toy (as it might just be more visible on the blue parts).
And then the mould grew over the next few months while the toys were in storage in packaging and shipped around the world.

I think people should clean their Nacelle toy when they get it, even if they don't see any mould, as it could still show up later, and could spread if you keep your toys in an enclosed, dark space (especially if you keep toys in storage containers).

It now sounds like it is mould grease, as if the mould's moving parts were over lubricated... so it is still best to wipe the toy down when you get it.

Let's hope it is just mould grease. Mould is a health hazard and could result in a recall.

You’ll get my Nacelle when you pry it from my cold death hands!
