Vinyl problems on 2005-era Barbie dolls?

I've heard about the vinyl stickiness and degradation on some of the vintage dolls, but I really did not expect it on some of my dolls that are only five or six years old.

I am noticing as I'm dusting off / rearranging my dolls that both the Spirit of Water Barbie and the Princess of India Barbie dolls have very sticky legs. I debox my dolls but otherwise just put them on display.

This is obviously a problem with the plastic or vinyl but I really don't know what to do about it.

If it was the entire doll affected, well, OK, my bad. But the arms and torsos are fine and this is a non-smoking house. Something is wrong with the dolls' legs and I'm not sure what to do about it.
