 ”Milky" Blob/Dokugan DXes?
I'm really amped because I just scored the first Dokugan DX today and it RULES. But putting it side by side with my OG Blob DX I notice that the clear vinyl on the Blob is considerably more cloudy than the crystal-clear Doku. My NYCC DXes are both cloudy, while my Emerald blood DXes are really clear. It's not a yellowing like you see in some older clear vinyl, either. Just a bit more opaque and white-ish than the crystal clear ones.
None of them are displayed anywhere near a window (and there's no direct sunlight in this room anyway). I don't smoke, either. There doesn't seem to be any change over time; I distinctly remember the NYCC Doku being cloudy when I received it.
Any of you other Blob maniacs ever notice this?

Here's a picture:  Take a look at the NYCC Doku and the OG Doku... its pretty easy to see the difference in the vinyl.

 Re: ”Milky" Blob/Dokugan DXes?
I'm actually just reeling at you having an Emerald blood one already. I preordered mine through S7...how'd you get yours already?
I'd definitely love to get my hands on an original Doku DX...you can just see the guts so much better when they're not tonal. Also really wishing that this year's SDCC dx blob colorway will show up on a Dokugan soon...

 Re: ”Milky" Blob/Dokugan DXes?
That would certainly explain it.  Dokugan clouds my judgment.

 Re: ”Milky" Blob/Dokugan DXes?
Thanks a lot for the info guys! Definitely good to know.
Now for the hard question: I wonder if there's any way to get that milky stuff BACK to crystal clear...

 Re: ”Milky" Blob/Dokugan DXes?
The Amber and the other Lucky Bag Blob (clear with spray). I'm salivating over the one in Brooks sale thread, but right now the timing isn't the best. That Dokugan had been in the store for about 3 weeks, though, and when my tax return came through, I had to exercise a little discretionary spending...
