That looks like it's been outside in the sun and rain for years

Do you have any idea edd about why the plastic color has not changed on the legs and arms like they did on the torso ?

The torso, arms and limbs are often made of different plastic, certainly for LXW the body is quite tough but the limbs are very soft. So I imagine that's why they have aged differently.

So sad to see this, I have noticed the same with a unique coo of the kenobi figures. Could be interesting to see if it is a unique coo also for leia with bad plastic on the legs.
