HEY JC YOU MISSED A CLONE ITS THE SHADOW TROOPER I WATCHED THE ENTIRE VID BUT HE DIDNT SHOW UP....oh wait he was just hidden never mind were good ITS THE SAME THING BUT BLACK
In my opinion the antenna mold clone troopers were the golden age of clone trooper action figures. The clean normal clone was my first ever Star Wars action figure ever, great memories.
I know yellowing is a big issue but the best way to prevent yellowing is to keep them away from heat. UV free bulbs are a must. UV lights allow the bromine in plastic to discolor so you want to prevent UV rays from hitting the figures
The 91st Trooper was a Target exclusive RotS figure which saw a very short production run. He's kinda like the corrected Commander Bly figure. As far as I remember, he may not have had an exclusive package for the figure and shared the same box ad the basic P2 RotS figure.
The sun is not quite reliable for deyellowing. I suggest a plastic tub and UV LED strip. It's a lot better and more even. I hope to go on to fix up some of my more yellowed stuff soon.
The people that say they've seen the 91st recon corps trooper on the revenge of the sith card are talking about the target exclusive release that was a different mold without the antenna. No idea where the antenna mold version came from
I bought a few of these guys sealed over two years ago, the 212th Attack, 442nd Siege, and 5th Fleet, and opened them. They weren’t yellowed on card, and they still aren’t yellowed. I’m primarily a Lego Star Wars collector, so take my input lightly, but I can tell ya mine have been loose and on/off display without yellowing a bit in over two years. My only guess is because they aren’t in direct sunlight, nor are they in a humid/warm environment. I don’t buy in to the finger oil thing, but am I just lucky?
If you Have a air brush which are about 20-30 bucks. You can mask off all parts or just remove the torso or other part. And then add a small layer of white paint to not block off and detail. And then cover it with a small spray of top coat and then it should stay white until the paint eventually chips but that has worked for me.
The "Mystery Trooper" is a Saleucami Trooper , I think it's from the 2009 Star Wars Legacy Collection. Great Video! Btw I am hoping to see the Death Trooper & the Sith Trooper in the next vid!
Just got the Order 66 Kashyyyk Trooper and I love it! All hail the Antenna Mold. Is it the most detailed? No. Is it the most articulated? Nope. Is it the best? Absolutely.
Ill never forget the feeling of buying the revenge of the sith antenna trooper at meijers for the first time. My heart was filled with excitement walking out of the store
Use what us sneaker heads call.... 40 volume cream! It works for yellow midsoles... just put it under a ultraviolet light with aluminum foil and let the magic happen.
6:04 The Covert Ops clone troopers were elite clone troopers serving with the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. These troopers were mainly assigned to perform "dirty work" that most clones would find questionable and unethical, mainly finding and eliminating clone troopers who've deserted the army.
@@Jcc2224 yeah those magic eraser sponges do wonders then I just cover the figure lightly in dish soap and let it rest for an hour then soak it in cold/warm water for 5 minutes use the sponge again it won’t be perfect but it helps to keep it from staining worse
How long ago did you do the treatment? Cuz they stayed white for a couple months but then started to discolor again. I put them in a glass jar with hydrogen peroxide.
@@Jcc2224 well I think it's a property of that plastic to become yellow but I do it every like 6 months. The secret is to put it under the sun, the liquid has to evaporate and the oxygen is what whitens the plastic. For that you should put the sealed ziploc bag fill with the clones and just like a puddle of peroxide, just that cover all the clones over an aluminum paper under the sun. Should be enough with 1 hour
I also found one of the 91st recon mystery figures, it came in a lot off eBay with two clean white phase II clones and a phase I lieutenant that was badly beat up.
I like to think that the grey 41st troopers are their "dress uniforms", perhaps actually their standard armor. The ones we see on Kashyyyk have special camo gear for the environment they're in.
Just sand the yellowing off, I know that's a real pain in the ass, I've done it with a few clones I bought on ebay, but it is worth it. It's excruciating to try and avoid the paint aps, while sanding, but man, there probably is no other permanent way of deyellowing clones.
@@Jcc2224 buffing is one way to do it. Personally I used a very light coat of gloss acrylic finish, it blends pretty well with the original shine, though it is ever so slightly noticeable. Though I'm also going to try another method on a custom figure (I'm thinking about rubbing a tiniest coat of wax, it will be shiny but not glossy because of it, similar to figures, which aren't a "HARD PLASTIC" mold. Man, that meme still gets me xD )
Do you know where we can see a list of all the concept designs for RotS? My dad has told me that he once saw a list with all these design that the community could vote on to be used in the film. He told me that pretty much every design was used but id like to see which ones weren't.
This is one of the prominent concept art works that I can recall, shows most of the ones I called out in this video. img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/LetoQuorme/CloneTrooperconcepts.jpg
i have a few of these guys but the thigh joints don't swivel up as far as yours in 1:18 . i mean in theory you can force it that way but im a bit scared to do so
Most of those yellowing will be individual. The plastics they used had varying degrees of concentrates and chemicals in each batch. You could have 5 figures in perfect display condition and well cared for, and a few will yellow at random, because they were made with a lesser quality plastic batch. I’d say try a few replacements for the yellowing figures, until you find one that was made with a better plastic batch and hadn’t yellowed.
i have a couple of those 91st recon guys. i believe it was revenge of the sith days and it may have been a target exclusive or toysrus exclusive. cause if im not mistaken it was the dirty phase 2 super articulated after the first day 1 phase 2 trooper with the aiming squeeze legs, then the 212thj super posable, then the various red commander clone, and the tank driver and 501st clone then that 91st and then later tyhe green commander and the shock trooper and atrt guy and gree are somewhere in there. with recollor magna guards
Figures that are in storage away from sunlight and are in the box can even yellow... my theory is that the plastic will degrade regardless depending on the purity of the batch, and sunlight and oils certainly don't help.
I have a vintage collection gree. But I had to track down that original gree. I love gree. Camo and a mirror visor what's not to love so I got the original even if it's not accurate
Man I don't even know what to tell you. Some stay in light and look good as new, others stay in storage and turn super yellow. I'd say certainly avoid direct sunlight, but beyond that just hope that they don't.
I ordered a 5th fleet security clone a few days ago so that will be my first clone action figure. I was hoping to pick up a 442nd but the prices and shipping were expensive as fuck.
Would you be excited if Disney released a new line of 3.75 inch clone figures since they are making a new season of the Clone wars? I hope they do make a line similar to the 2008 hasbro line, there are still many figures we have never gotten.
I wouldn't just want a clone trooper line. To be honest, Hasbro needs to realize how big of a thing army building is. They just need a Build Your Army line with various clone, storm, droid, and rebel trooper releases.
Jcc2224 I hope they do release more than just clones, like various resistance soldiers more droids, a Captain Gregory, Disney has a chance to really go all out and I wish they would.
It sucks because I collect a lot of black series clones and they pretty much only do mainstream clones, not really concept art or obscure looks. Only reason I still collect these older ones.
I think that 91st recon corps trooper is a knockoff, the bottom of the helmet flares a bit, something I've noticed with knockoff antenna mold clone troopers
They're from various series. If you're new to 3.75" I suggest browsing the Rebelscum photo archives. They're not super up to date with the latest stuff, but they have a nearly complete archive of everything released before the modern TVC line. It was a major help for me when I got started. rebelscum.com/hasbro.asp
That's crazy because I just got done watching a video check out this one ( the imperial communique there is a better approach to doing it unless you found out already
also I'm a real collector's so I do collect GI Joe Star Wars and Transformers and I always buy price guide book so I can hunt down every single figure an accessory so if you're not sure about your Star Wars characters get the ultimate toy guide they have one it's only about for 40 something dollars
