>>11322252I have Kirby, can't really remember when I got him, it was before coivd if I remember, and he's been sitting on my shelf for years and hasn't really had any problems. Also just checked all my swappable parts that were in the box for a number of years before sorting them into drawers with other accessories and they too are fine. Nothing sticky and the rubber coating seems to be fine on mine. He's held up just fine for me.
