Wow, a very good warning! I never thought of toy figures carrying bacteria, but now that I think of it, they’re objects like anything else and quite capable of carrying who-knows-what kind of micro-organisms. Cleaning and disinfecting them shortly after you buy them from where ever you buy them is sound advice in this day and age. :shocked:
if they have no stickers or screws I put a test one in the dishwasher and if nothing happens I put more of the same line in. I have to do that with a few earth force figs I got recently.
