Not "mold" as in plastic injection, but "mold" as in fungus.
Anyone here who has a copy or will receive one soon should check theirs as soon as possible.
Update: Four separate reports of this case have also been found on Twitter, too.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Sabrblade wrote:As a word of warning, it's being widely reported across Reddit, TFW, and the TFWiki Discord of there being several copies of the new Legacy Nacelle figure having mold on them.

Welp, time to bust out that white vinegar and baking soda.

Some on Discord have reported coughing and difficulty breathing after handling their Nacelles before they found the mold on their figures.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:bluecatcinema wrote:How did they get fungus on them?
My guess is poor ventilation and air filtering. A bigger question is what mold it actually is, especially considering it's a possible exotic pathogen. Hopefully Hasbro is on the ball with this one.

Not sure how this makes me feel about falling behind on a lot of online exclusives lately. If this is from improper storage somehow related to Amazon's ------ TF exclusive distribution, maybe this will be the straw that breaks the Carbombian camel's back and gets Hasbro to stop giving them so many.
Here's hoping Nacelle isn't just patient zero in what does turn out to be a toy-demic.
