Ok, so what % would be used on a storm trooper ?
or just use a cotton swab and do under the foot ?
Corn Flakes bowl huh ? Did that come from Germany or did you buy it off the internet ? As I said, I have never seen one before, but then Jabba the Hutt is a slob so that might be why :dontknow:

I use 3% + Sunlight. The plastic has to be complete covert with it!

It comes fvrom USA (DEKA Plastics, Elisabeth NJ) made 1983.

I bought it in a lot with unplayed (!) figures and advertisement stuff.

That looks like a good purchase. :notworthy:

Buddy, I try it right now and just for you on that Stormtrooper with yellowed arms and legs! Show you the result in a few days!

Sounds good. That one is really bad. Maybe I should dig mine back out and look, I have kept them all boxed up and stored in the basement out of the sunlight so I would think mine would be still very white, maybe not.

just 30 bucks :laughing7:

Got an extra original small blaster for the IG-88 (the Robot) in my collection so it´s now complete and like new out of the box. This alone is worth minimum double what I´ve paid. And this perfect Greedo was exchanged with the one in my "First 21" collection.

How many of the 12" figures do you have ?

The Box Tops recorded "The Letter" at Dan Penn's AMERICAN SOUND STUDIOS on 827 Thomas Street, Memphis. Don Penn also produced and engineered the session.
The 16 yo singer on that sing, Alex Chilton, later went on to form the band, BIG STAR, that recorded at ARDENT STUDIOS, also located in Memphis.

Thanks for the correction.

Has nothing to do with sunlight. I have seen figures that was well stored and in original blisters and they was yellow like the worst teeth you may have ever seen :laughing7:

Depends on the quality of the plastic and where they was made or region they was kept for decades. Canadian figures as example has very often dark brown to black spots IN the plastic which is not to remove. I have seen figures from Germany and their rubber arms and legs was covert completely with crystals, looking like shiny diamonds. After removing them everything was ok but this must be stuff that get extracted out of the rubber after years.

PS: I guess to collect this figures for the next 50 years could get a quite hard game for collectors! :laughing7:

May a real perfect one will be at some 100.000 in 2070 :laughing7:

Simon1 · Aug 10, 2019

Good morning Rook :hello:

Simon1 · Aug 10, 2019

Then maybe I should not dig mine back out as I might really be disappointed to see them deteriorated. :sadsmiley:

Tom_Restorer · Aug 10, 2019

Simon, forgotten to say.

Don´t try peroxide on figures with red paint! Like on X-wing Luke´s helmet. The color will fade out to a light orange before it is complete gone :laughing7:

All other colors will be ok!
