Fix It guide - Cheap De-yellowing of vintage MOTU figures 

What did you apply on them to take off the yellowing of the chest?????

@@lorddiosliving did you even watch the video?

@@fenton412 I'm not talking to you

@Corey This guy you're trying to help seems new to life, or something... 😒

@@bentonrp hey

Adam Moore Nice idea, I will try that next time.

Aluminum foil will work as well with the reflective side

A UV artificial light in a dark room might work well. I've seen it done with computer parts.

Just wrote about that mate!! Thought the same ;P

Thanks!

@@toypolloi You're welcome

I got 5 boxes full of 1981 he-man toys need start cleaning my battle cat lol

I've never tried it on glow in the dark plastic. Would be worth testing first before doing it on a rare figure.

@@toypolloi Definitely going to test first !! Will report back if/when I do this. Thanks for the response !

That's why it comes in the tinted glass bottles. I tend to pour it back into those and keep it in a dark cupboard when not in use.

I've not looked at it again since this video. Might be fun to have another go.

Yep, check out my video on removing ink from action figures.

No. It doesn't. The blisters are very delicate and liable just to crack and fall apart. Best to leave them.

It can do. I would do this differently now. Use peroxide cream. That way you can just put it on the surface. Cheers

@@toypolloi Awesome, appreciate the info, I will give that a try. Thanks!

I have a video from a long time ago on this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0nQ-kNZ9DYg.html

Yes, I wouldn't do it this way now. Use the salon 40 cream. You can' apply that to just the outside.

@toypolloi

It does come back over time. Depends how they are stored.

​@@toypolloi That's why it unfortunately doesn't make any sense to de-yellow a Skeletor or other figures. Because normally you would like to display your figures. To store them somewhere protected from oxygen and light kills every fun you can have with collecting figures. Concerning Prince Adam's often yellowed chest you can use white (solvent-based) lacquer instead of peroxide. Because this will last longer against yellowing.

It does come back, but not on all. Depends on the plastic and how they are stored. Cheers

This mostly only works on the harder plastic of the body. Cheers

Ohhhh, thank you.

Is the red all over, or just patches? This method is only for yellowing.

Red colour appear all over his arm and leg. small patches on his head.

+Michael weatherford No. Those just need a wash in hot soapy water. That is caused by the plastic degrading.

@@toypolloi Washing a figure wont remove plastic degradation stickiness it my experience, might make it less sticky but thats about it.

Skeleton? He literally has a fleshy, muscular body.

only his face is a skull because it got melted off with acid

Life on Eternia is hard. It is practically a proto-planet hence all the barbarian cultures there. Muscular physique is more of a matter of survival there rather than a lifestyle choice. Why, if it wasn't for the Overlord of the Eternal Dimension, they would have no technology there at all! But then, there would be nothing to stop this murderous demon and all of the primordial world's beasts from using their ceaseless ruthlessness to gain power. Even over the whole Universe, hence the name Masters of the Universe. You see, magic is strong there, and when coupled with evil such as Skeletor's, time and space are vulnerable to finding no mercy. The same thing happened on our Planet millennia ago when magic on Earth was strong, but The Overlords prevented the Universe from collapsing. That is why Dinosaurs, Titans and Mammoths are all but a distand memory rather than Masters. Hope this helps!

Brandy Cook should work really well. I have used it on some 3 3/4 inch mego buck rogers figures and they came out very white.

thank you

You can use Hydrogen peroxide cream instead. Then you can avoid the painted areas.

thank you very much for the answer, and thank you for your videos

You can use hydrogen peroxide cream and just apply to the areas you want to do. Or remove the stickers. I have videos on that.

Toy Polloi you so much Toy Polloi wondering is there a particular cream I should be looking out for or just any hydrogen peroxide cream? I want to thank you very much for all your videos you and retro blasting have really reignited my love for my old Kenner power of the force figures again and I’ve been now lately clean them up and washing them and trying to restore them a little . thank you for all you guys do!

STARFLEET2486 If it is a soft head figure you can just gently twist and pull and the head will come out. If it is a hard head version, you can't remove this without damaging the body. Hope that helps.

Thanks I didn't want to damage laser power he man with dolph lungren head I want to swap heads with an original body now I just need to find a laser power skeletor for his head to have to a movie skeletor

It would most likely damage the paint. You could try hydrogen peroxide cream.

you try maybe with hydrogen peroxide cream? I got Prince Adam who have yellow on his chest..not sure how to do this.
