Still no indications of any deterioration on either of mine. My theory on the tiny (6 semi-verified) batch of damaged figures: The accelerated aging and premature cracking is caused by the Styrofoam packaging. Styrofoam can emit ozone and volatiles when exposed to heat. These substances when trapped in the packaging will start a chain reaction that will cause the plasticizer to migrate from plastics and rubber. Don't leave ED (or any other figure for that matter) in a box that will be exposed to heat for any period of time. Exposure to hot summer temperatures and storage conditions could result in irreversible damage in as little as a few days of exposure under the right circumstances.
Krytox (perfluoropolyether) is the answer if you're concerned and haven't already contaminated/damaged ED with Mod Podge, silicone grease or 303. Krytox GPL105 is expensive but it will not react in any negative way with plastics or natural and synthetic elastomers. A tiny amount is all ED will ever need in your lifetime. Look no further if you are serious about long term preservation. No other product comes close to the performance charachteristics that the Krytox range offers.
