 Greasy Marmits-HELP! Skylar just got some marmits and they were greasy in the bags. I've read about other people having this problem, but not how to fix it. Soap & Water? Paper Towels? What is best to keep from messing up the paint? thanks!

I didn't think it was deliberate.

Dish soap and water. Just be sure to NOT soak the figures in water. unless you want to risk taking them apart and ruining the paint to get the water out. Because water sitting in an enclosed space with adequate ventilation like a kaiju piece is the perfect breeding ground for mold.
