That sounds a lot like the plastic (styrene) has reacted with the paint.
The polystone itself should be fine, but the paint could be a variety of compounds - even on the same statue.
Warm water is worth a try first (if not even a duster), then move on to soap, washing up liquid etc as patch tests somewhere discrete on the models.
Honestly though, I'd suggest getting as much info' as you can about each statue's construction and paint and them jumping on a reddit modelling forum or similar and ask.

@RogerRoger 1997 was a long time ago! It was a pretty big year too
You can try turp's, it should clear off the styrene without harming the paint- but again, without knowing what the paint is exactly, it could be risky.
Perhaps an adhesive remover could work too - but there's still the risk to the paint.

Is it Mr. Freeze in his smoking jacket? because I'd probably pay for that!
Also, "...two versions of the Bathammer from Batman & Robin (my favourite bat-vehicle ever)" - I am fairly confident that not even the internet has ever witnessed a statement of such magnitude!

@RogerRoger ha.
I'm not against the idea. I actually quite like the idea truth be told. I've only ever really considered it when the Falcon one started, but I was still having the Star Trek Starships at that point and really didn't want another subscription 'thing'.
I almost started the BTTF DeLorean, and am also tempted by the new X-Wing one too, but am yet to actually bite!

@RogerRoger Out of curiosity I decided to check how much it would cost to ship something like that to my country and it was around $180 (USD)!... And that's even not including custom tax, yet.
Oh, yeah forgotten to post this earlier.
Another impressive looking statue! Also, her face kinda looks like Monica Bellucci, no?
@RogerRoger Oh cool, that's nice looking one. I also like that Animated Series Batmobile. It's nice that you got it cheaper compared to SideShow at that time cause I was browsing their Hot Toys prices earlier and noticed that SideShow was cheaper.
Oh yeah, Hot Toys's Justice League Wonder Woman's not bad either if you haven't gotten that already.
@RogerRoger I see... I've never bought a Hot Toys figurine before but I've watch YouTube videos about collectibles every once in a while. I get what you mean about the "everybody just ends up looking like a child wearing their father's jacket at a wedding" part.haha
The recent Spider-man Hot Toys do look great but they're much harder to take care especially if you want to display them in a dynamic pose. If you're not careful, you could damage the fabric/material.
@RogerRoger I bought mine from a local retailer but it was quite expensive, around $82. They were a few other local retailers selling it cheaper but they were already sold out. Oh yeah, I saw both Solid Snake and Raiden figurines at another local shop. They were quite nice. Might get Solid Snake someday if it's still in stock.
