Toy came with something not included...

[Krueger]

I got a ugly problem here. I had won an MIB Pop-up Display Raph figure on ebay. Unfortunately theses days, who knows what MIB ever means anymore. Upon receiving it today in the mail, I found that the box, bubble and the figure were in great condition! So what is the problem you ask? THERE IS AN INFESTATION IN THE BOX! There small but noticable dead bugs/bug remnants scattered through out the box. It is such a bummer.

So as you all know the pop up displays are pretty hard to come by and I got mine for a cheap price but I dunno if I could live with having Ralph surrounded by the tiny Baxter Stockmans. What do you guys think? Should I return it or stick it out? I really need some help here. Thanks in advanced.

I've seen this before oddly enough many of these wierd little bugs came shipped years ago in the box's with the figures.
Kind of creepy if you think about it. I've got a few figures in my collection like this as well.
and like you say they're hard to see but they're there...are they odd looking?
Cause the ones in my are unlike any bugs I've seen in this country.:|
like I said creepy stuff.

I wouldn't say they are odd looking but yes, they are hard to see. If there weren't a lot of them it would be no big deal but since there are so many it is obvious that they are bugs. They almost look like lice only they aren't white.

Oh wait...wow now I just found a huge on in the corner of the box. He is like half the size of one on Ralph's shurikens. This one is odd looking. This is not good.

Weird. How about some pictures?

Yeah, I have a Donnie (Fan Club) and there is this ling latched onto his thigh. Kinda nasty but I didn't know this was so common, whats the deal?

Here is the big one that was in there. I managed to knock him out and finally found use for the bottom of the box that is never fully sealed (but then again that is how they probably got in there in the first place).

Then in this image you can see the black spots that are stuck to the bubble. Those are some of the bugs.

Lovely, huh?

[Buslady]

you have mummified insects from the factory! didnt ya know they're an added bonus? :P just kiddin
the factory wasn't too clean? they were made in China or Taiwan or something, i cna see bugs being everywhere there since it's a humid location.

[Mike Bock]

Oh man that sucks!!

[Krueger]

Should I keep it?

[Drtooth]

I'd keep it, but I'd open it and spray lysol the hell all over it before I touched it.

Man, you make stuff in weird factories over seas and this is pretty much what happens.

Of course a lot of toys I have came with what I choose to believe as paint brush bristles stuck on them.

Does anybody else remember that episode of The Simpsons where Bart got the toy in his Krusty Meal that had a mosquito from China in it? And the mosquito flew out and gave everyone pandapox or something crazy like that? Better be careful,is all I'm saying...

[Patraw]

I've got a dead moth inside a MOC Spawn Series 7 Mangler bubble. Must be lots of bugs buzzing around the toy factories in China . . .

I'd keep it, just as a curiosity if nothing else.

Choose to believe? What else would they be?

This is why I don't collect in box :-P

Why do I highly doubt that is the reason? C'mon, it doesn't happen that often.
