Shouldn't be a problem unless you live in Long Island NY.

Don't gamble!
If you must use this stuff! And depending on the humidity, you will have to swap out the bucket for new ones more frequently! They have various sizes! Moth balls maybe something to consider as well! But the heat and cold are still issues!

I had my Captain America premium format in storage for at least a couple of months, then the thought occured to me that it could get damaged. When I removed it from storage, sure enough it had yellowish mold all over it. After leaving it out on display for a few days, the mold somewhat disappeared, but you can still see some yellowing on the white areas. If I left my statue in storage any longer, then it would have been destroyed.
I know, because I had a suitcase of winter clothes in the same room and all of it was damaged beyond repair. All my nice shirts and leather jackets (some which I never had a chance to wear), had to be thrown away, because they were smelly and tore up from the mold.
That's why statue companies put desiccant in the boxes, because they know heat and humidity can damage the statue. To bad it didn't help my CAP statue.

As far as resin statues go, I haven't left any in storage too long to see if they get damaged, but I have noticed that moisture will build up on the statue, even when it's in the box.
I pulled some statues out of the box and they were moist with water droplets covering them. I wiped the statues down and they never got damaged, but I can imagine if I left them in storage for too long, then the moisture would start eating away at the paint, much like mold or any other type of corrosion.
Keep in mind though that I live in 90 degree weather with HIGH humidity for most of the summer. Our winters are in the upper 70's, so it's always warm around here.

That's cool, Cap still looks great, and as far as the clothes go, it's no big loss. I prefer running around naked anyway.
