http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2013/06/20/dealing-with-stickiness-on-figures/
>- Cause of Stickiness -
>The reason the figures become sticky is because of the plasticizer used when making them. This plasticizer is added to the PVC (the main material used in figures) in order to make it softer – the more mixed in with the PVC, the softer and more flexible it becomes.

>However, over a long period of time this plasticizer vaporizes, and when this happens while a figure is sealed up in it’s box the vaporized plasticizer has nowhere to go, and thus sticks onto the surface of the figure creating a sticky layer.

It's about quality, fool. And you're supporting secondhand-goods businesses. It's a good thing for the fan community and people who want older, especially vintage stuff. They essentially keep it alive by keeping it relevant.

Pump your money into bootlegs and all you get is flavor-of-the-month shit and incentivizing them to make more shit.

You are literally retarded. The figure making industry is not the bootleg figure making industry. They are 100% distinct, though correlated. Supporting one is not supporting the other. Do you understand?

>Notice I didn't say the quality of bootlegs are objectively better, or even equal. I said if it was good enough for its price to justify, which is certainly the case.
Lol. As if quality was the aim of bootleg producers rather than swindling ignorant retards. To be willfully ignorant however is what's really embarrassing.

>You are literally retarded. The figure making industry is not the bootleg figure making industry. They are 100% distinct, though correlated. Supporting one is not supporting the other. Do you understand?
Yeah, because bootlegs exist without an original. Bootlegging industries only exist by leeching off of legitimate ones.

Irrelevant, you bumbling banana. Their focus as a company has utterly nothing to do with me, or this conversation. That you accuse me of ignorance while putting forth this pathetic level of argument is rather cute.

>Yeah, because bootlegs exist without an original.
I said they correlate. This is specifically what I was referring to. This is the one precise angle at which the two industries intersect. Aside from this, there is nothing.

>Right, you were just pretending to be stupid.
That was your job, which you have aptly proven to every single person here. Using "Lol" tells everyone all they need to know about your integrity and character.

When you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself.
