    Thanks!

    What's that stinky smell?

    I ask because I finally got some Planet Terror merchandise and a percular problem that seems to happen with one brand of merchandise.. That brand is NECA...

    I finally got my Planet Terror figure of Cherry Darling and Dakota the blonde Doctor with a stash of coloured hypos she uses.

    Anyway opened the plastic packaging and this strange smell like a chemical / inky / plastic kind of smell...

    Do most of these things do that when you open them? it's kind of off putting at first but it seems only the NECA branded merchandise does this. I've got things from other movies too but they always have this funny kind of smell out of the packaging for the first few days..
