I recently started putting together a loose collection of LJN Bendies. I had a few as a kid but didn't keep them, so I am piecing the collection together one by one and am down to the last few to complete the set.
Last week I bought a loose Jesse Ventura in excellent shape, no paint loss, looks near perfect. But the figure smells terrible, like someone kept it in moth balls for the last 30 years. This has never happened with any LJN figure I've owned before, and I tried cleaning it with a disinfecting wipe but it didn't help. I thought the smell might fade but after a week the whole room still stinks from it. You can smell it even before you walk in the room. It is so bad I am thinking of selling the figure and buying a different Ventura (this reminds me of the smelly car episode of Seinfeld...)
Has anyone else ever experienced this, and does anyone have tips for getting the smell to go away?
