1/6 HT Terminator Salvation JOHN CONNOR review?

Uncle Sam said:

Hi There,
Did anyone collect the HT Terminator Salvation JOHN CONNOR (not the final battle ver.)?

My friend had one, have not taken out from the Box. Last week, after he had move in into his new home he decided to take it out for display in his BIG display cabinet together with the rest of his collection.

I was there, to our surprise when we open the box the "Leather Jacket" had crack and started to peal off...

Is there anyone out there had the same problem?
Is it the climate of different region? Or something else? And is there any prevention or solution?

It seems like keeping these figures mint in box is actually really unhealthy for the figure itself. There are just too many paints, plastics, fabrics, batteries all reacting to each other in such a confined space. Thats why they put those desiccant packets in the box, but those are only meant to work for a little while.

Especially the Ironman figures. I've heard stories of people who bought 2 of them, one to open one to keep mint and the figure in the box had color faded more severely than the opened one.
