[QUOTE="Hod10, post: 493809, member: 6544"] I used to have some Episode 1 and Episode 2 figures stored away all together. Bought in 1999/2000 and 2002. 15 figures maybe and at some point I packed them all together and stored them in darkness. When I opened the box after 5-10 years or so all were as normal bar one, Boss Nass... dark yellow (caramel). Think the plastic the figure is made with and the amount of it in ratio to bubble size can also add to the speed of yellowing. Clash of trapped gasses and the grade of bubble plastics maybe. Something like that anyway. Lots of variables. The Palitoy Logray’s in the above are caramel that’s for sure. ie, vintage Hong Kong Kenner ROTJ Yoda, small figure and a small bubble, often yellow. Unless it’s made in China (exceptional grade of bubble plastic). [/QUOTE]
