Thanks, that is important to know. So what does bleach on the black parts do ? Myself, I would only bleach the white areas anyway.

Black and other colors don´t get harmed! Guess they used a red pigment made out of plants or something. Pigments made out of stones (or oxides) does n´t fade out that way.

I cleaned nearly my entire Stormtrooper Army that way and not one tiny bit of black color has gone or be harmed! You only have to check the process each day, even with only 3% solution. When they are clean, take them out and give them a good wash. As I said to long (for weeks) or on high % like 30% the white will turn pink after a while. A good treatment needs it´s time, so better on low solution and some more days of sunlight or an UV lamp.

Hi Buddy!

Morning bill

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.

Not so bad! I have seen some where the white plastic body turned dark yellow and the rubber limbs was still PERFECT white! Crazy sometimes

No, dig them out, make a photo, post it here and I tell you what is to do or if you have to send them to me as a gift

I am absolutely sure your 1977 Leia and Luke with original cape, Blaster and light saber want a new home!!!

Just kidding! Most figures looking good, so don´t fear to check them!

Don't remember Luke with a cape. If I fail at making the white whiter, then I will melt them all into a ball and send them to you free, minus shipping, and say they were on Alderaan when it blew up.

folks,

A very talented young lady.

 

[Tom_Restorer]

How many of the 12" figures do you have ?

Just missing Luke and Leia. I don´t want to collect something with modern replacement Capes, Blasters or light sabers. Only originals. And all good condition figures on the market are graded and put in those sealed boxes which makes them way too expensive. I like them loose. Also I don´t trust this glue they use to fix the acrylic boxes! Absolutely no one knows how and if the thinner in the glue will harm the figures in any way. I mean they are SEALED and the thinner vapor stays inside for a long time!

Tom,
Good morning young man.

No, I was meaning as example Leia´s cape!

Now that´s the best Idea I´ve ever heard! OK! Let´s build an Aldebaran "Diorama"

Gosh... Buddy, post that Idea on a SW Fan Forum and you not only get banned! They will find out your address and burn down your house right before they hang you on the next tree LOL

 

[Simon1]

Ok, now I understand what you were saying.
I forgot to ask, is this "Consultation" free or am I going to see a bill in the mail
I do think I had some storm troopers that looked awfully pale.
Thanks for the tips Tom
