This could be nothing, but both figures that have had this similar odor for me use a dark-ish brown color.

Color doesn't really matter as I've run into it on items like the Tron Legacy ID discs; those were colored white for Kevin Flynn, orange for Rinzler, blue for Sam Flynn. I remember smelling it on various McFarlane figures from the '90's as well and they featured colors all over the spectrum.
