Since most boxes people use to store their toys in are pretty cramped, the plasticizers don't have anywhere to go, so they go back onto the plastic.
The more space you give them, the leaking plasticizers, which also come out as a gas, the more space it has to dissipate.
So Mint in box fags and people who keep their trash to store their toys in, they get doubly fucked, especially since the plastic inserts in the packaging is cheaply made and age poorly.
Of course, a draw back to having them out is that plastic oxigenizes shit like EVERYTHING and chemical reactions happen to discolor plastics.
Of course, this is so subtle you usually won't notice until like a decade later. Unless it's shitty plastic, much like that Revoltech.
Of course, there's no way to really know how shit will behave, so it's not something you can prepare for.
In short, enjoy your toys, because they're not meant to last forever.
