This seems to be more of a problem with the newer Joes rather than those from the 80's. The newer Joes seem to be made of a softer compound which is more thermoplastic. Another problem for almost any plastic item is that prolonged exposure to the sun will eventually degrade the plastic which will fade and crack as it breaks down due to UV rays. So for Joes, Sun=bad.
