Uh oh Lance, better let that one air out awhile. You know, so many toys are made out of toxic (or at least toxic until fully cured) plastics and other chemical ingredients – the government really ought to require mandatory disclosure of any and all materials used to make them.
i just picked up a ben 10 rubber toy .it smells like toxic paint stripper or something.He should change his name to toxic boy!
Ben 10 action figures are highly sold but not much like batman Joker and start wars. But Don’t know this list don’t have batman joker figures name.but as far as my exp joker figures are doing great now.
