Quote referring to the subject:
Quote:
Gold Plastic Syndrome (commonly shorthanded to GPS) is fandom terminology used to describe the phenomenon of a toy's plastic decomposing and becoming brittle to the point of shattering or crumbling under minimal-stress conditions. In the most extreme cases, toys have been reported to spontaneously crumble to small bits without any applied force at all, even if they're fresh out of their unopened package.

Does that mean that is going to happen to my Fourze Elek States in about 20 years?

Gold Plastic Syndrome It's a pretty commonly known, and very rampant, problem with toys manufactured using gold plastic in the 80's and 90's, especially Transformers. But pretty much any toy manufactured in that time frame using that kind of dark swirly gold plastic is susceptible to it.
Certain shades of brown and magenta suffer from it as well. That plastic just more easily discolors and degrades over time. Some of the biggest examples of this are G1 Black Zarak and G1 Monstructor. Other minor examples being Beast Wars Fuzros Torca, Beast Wars Grimlock (a Dinobot repaint), Transmetals Megatron, and your unfortunate power ranger monster there. There are a ton of examples of this issue out there. See above. New figures don't really share the same kind of shoddy production of that time period. And for the most part Fourze is painted gold not molded in it. And the parts that are aren't nearly the same kind of or color of plastic.

So I still haven't gotten any email from Mandrake about my GokaiPink order. Maybe it did not even go through.

Sucks about your Snizzard, Kain. I've been wanting one of those myself for a while but now I'm thinking I should just leave it, get King Sphinx and then be content with the three monsters I have.
Knasty Knight looks great though. Mine isn't arriving quick enough
