Fix It Guide - Cheap and easy De-yellowing Star wars figures - Toy Polloi

[@PoutingTrevor]

For anybody watching in 2023, this is a common practice in the video games collectors space and it's referred to as Retr0Brighting. It's normally used for console shells, controller shells, plastic cartridges, etc. There are various recipes to create a fast acting gel which negates the need to submerge them completely, usually using a 12-15% HP solution, but an interesting revelation is that you may no longer need to submerge or apply gel directly to the plastics. It's been found that pouring a small amount of HP into a container, then placing items on a platform within the container (keeping them out of the liquid), sealing it and then placing it in direct sunlight can work very effectively. The sunlight evaporates the HP and the gas trapped in the container does the work. It might help with issues like streaking or patching where the effect is inconsistent on the same piece. Just thought people might like to know.

[@sebastiandelsolar1]

hello, will it be any negative effects on action figures that have colored parts?

[@treetheodore6906]

Superior composition shot: before/after. Efficient use of viewer's time. Awesome video!

Thanks so much! Appreciated.

[@dasheight]

Brilliant. As a budget vintage collector, this is new to me, so thank you.

[@twomfilmsllc1654]

This is amazing!!!! I had a few Playmobil elements that had turned yellowish and made them sparkling white again by doing your technique! It literally only took one day. I do have to say that I'm in Southern California and that it's the beginning of June, so plenty of strong sunlight. Thank you so much for this!!!

[@DragonRoyZ]

Is the figure still white?

[@philk5576]

@@DragonRoyZ yes still white even now

[@ryanparis6539]

a UV light will give you better results and more controll. The sunshine method is ok too, Just a lot of variables.Also, when the red colour washes out on the insignias, you can wipe it off completelywith nail varnish remover or acetone. Then just bob down to your local print shop and (using WATER SLIDE PAPER found on ebay) have decals made to replace them. Just like models, soak and slide and the tiny symbols are even better than factory! (there are videos here MAKING WATER SLIDE DECALS and APPLYING WATER SLIDE DECALS).....just make sure the print shop has a LASER printer and use HI-DEF images for the printer to go off of.

[@toypolloi]

R.Layne Paris The UV light is a good idea. But I try and do all my fixes the cheapest way possible and those lights are expensive. Check out my other videos on how to make replacement decals.

[@simonworleycreative6636]

Many thanks for this advice. It's taken me just over 24 hours to de-yellow an old stinking vintage Stormtrooper with 6% Hydrogen Peroxide. His torso has become ice white but due to the different composite plastic his arms and legs look a greyish stone white in comparison. Great stuff and keep up the excellent videos!

[@toypolloi]

Simon Worley You get varying results with stormtroopers. Every one I have is made from slightly different plastic and they each seem to react slightly differently.

[@steverino6954]

Simon Worley ...In the movie, Snowtrooper sleeves and pants were a more grayish white than the armor and helmet anyway. So it's all good!

[@KZ-uo2nk]

Yep

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

Awesome buddy I'm a GI JOE guy and in the 80s they released a lot of snow white guys so this is a great help...for you Storm Shadow fans apparently you put blu tak on the Cobra symbol then soak them in peroxide

[@marklatchford9557]

Thanks for posting this - I've just restored a Mego Sir Lancelot figures armour using with this technique. It worked brilliantly, it's gone from a nasty nicotine yellow to lovely & white. Thanks very much!

[@stevegrisby]

Big big thanks! been working through my figures since watching this. Amazed at the results so far. Although the lady in boots did give me a funny look when I asked for five bottles

[@kjamison5951]

bingobongo33 How did you know she was in boots, did she step out from behind the counter? Ba-dum-tish!

[@Thrashgu]

For the de-yellowing I use hydrogen peroxide in cream 40 vol, just put the cream in the figures and then wrap them in plastic food wrap film, put it under a UV lamp for 3 or more hours, the de-yellowing is amazing.

[@DruMatthias]

I do the same and it works amazingly well and Much quicker. Gotta be careful with paint tho

[@abandonedcinema]

Thank you very much!! Very informative and no ads!

[@electricwheels411]

Thank you so much for this tip as I have just got back into collecting my childhood figures and quite a lot are yellow so I will give this tip a go

I love your videos. The go to channel for all things toys.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks 👍

[@rogertaylor9435]

I leave some of my stormtroopers with yellowing for Tatooine dioramas, they lend themselves perfectly .I'm not saying keep them all dirty, just a few.Ive been collecting loose star wars toys since 1978.Only recently got a computer and am already addicted to Toy Polloi and retro-Blasting.Cant wait to try this cleaning method.

[@toypolloi]

Hi Roger, I have to say I don't de yellow all my troopers anymore. I have so many and I quite like the variety of them. But it's useful to know you can. Glad you are enjoying my videos. You've got lots to catch up on!

[@rogertaylor9435]

Hi mate , Its fantastic to see people restoring old toys,you wouldn't believe the rows I've had with collectors about cleaning and repairing star wars and other vintage pieces.I will always be obsessed with star wars and action force,at the end of the day its not worth suffering over . Action force was one of my favourite things in my youth and like star wars i have thousands of them ,too many really .The idea was to create massive dioramas but with room limitations it never really happened. My family believe my collecting habits have gone a bit to far, but its farely easy to store ..Im not afraid to use a bit of paint touching up old figures myself ,the criticism i received from some of my old star wars friends was unbelievable. Its the noses i find the problem. Keep the videos coming i absolutely brill .

[@toypolloi]

There is no right or wrong way to collect no matter what people say. As long as you enjoy it, then that's all that matters. I get a fair amount of flak, mainly from SW collectors, about what I do and what I show people. Not everyone wants perfect toys, and i'm just pleased I can help give people on ideas of how to repair their childhood collections. Keep on enjoying them.

[@rogertaylor9435]

Absolutely.

[@paulsenior33]

Thanks for this TP. I've tried it on snow troopers and ATAT drivers to much success. I've also managed to turn a rebel commander from creamy brown back to his original colour and also on the top glass of a millennium falcon which I was well surprised at.

[@toypolloi]

Good work.

[@ToyDenNerds]

I guess I am glad I live in Vegas... I should be able to clean mine up in no time

[@skeletorment]

If it's nicotine stains, I found that a little bleach spray will usually take the yellow off instantly. If it's yellowed due to the bromide in the plastics, then the peroxide treatment works best in my experience. Regardless of which method you use, there's always the associated risk of damaging the figure.

[@austinbrown2432]

Mmmm, pickled Imperials. Great picnic item.

[@alexhughesuk]

Excellent video, can you please do a video or advise on how to resolve discoloration of vintage AT AT's. Thanks

[@blackmedick9989]

I have found this technique also works beautifully on POTF2 and other figures. Best use for this technique is yellowed stormtroopers. Paint usually fades or changes color if left in peroxide for more than a day, especially shades of red and brown. It has no effect on black, white, or gray paint. Also, 3% hydrogen peroxide works just as well as the 5% solution.

[@NightmareZerogbs]

Thanks! I really needed this, I'll be back in a week to say if it helped!

[@theempirescrapbook]

Still waiting.

[@LMUstacker]

as this is a relatively recent method of de-yellowing figures, not many people commented on the effects after years from the treatment. I can say that it works great, but after about 2 years my figures went back to the original yellow. Two years is still a lot of time and this is great for display purposes, but I know that many collectors think about long-term storage and their (our) brains think in the order of decades, so they might want to know: this is not a permanent solution.

[@adysmith5783]

Great video.

[@jackieestacado6144]

This looks great, however... I'm a modern action figure collector, like Clone wars, Vintage collection, etc... Would this work on that kind of figures? And wouldn't paint details be ruined?

Excellent video. I wonder if you could de-yellow bubbles on MOC figures the same way? Not leaving it in the sun, maybe, but wiping it with hydrogen peroxide. And what percentage?

[@CollectionTHX1138]

Nice ot know 6% can work. I'm lucky my originals stayed pretty white. I've kept them in the Star wArs action figure cases. My friend's are very yellow though.

[@javiercetina]

Excellent video, I'm gonna try it. Does a HOT sunny day affect the hydrogen peroxide? I live in Southern California where it's always sunny but HOT!!!

[@JinzoCrash]

It's not about heat, but light. You can get similar results inside the house with a strong, fluorescent, ultraviolet lamp.

[@Matt-bh3gb]

I found that you can also use OxiClean (Sodium Percarbonate detergent) mixed with water. The rest of the process is the same: put your toys in a sealed container under bright sunlight.

[@Tavis1910]

Hello! I'm using your method (we only have 3% H2o2) - letting them sit at least 48hrs (up to a week without sun) then scrubbing with toothbrush, warm, soapy water and then letting them dry. After dry, I'm using armor all protectant to make them nice and shiny, also protecting the plastic from getting sticky over time...finally, storing in proper storage bags for collectables. I do have a few related questions, however; first, how do you clean the removable cloth clothes? How do you clean figures that you cannot remove the cloth clothes from? Finally, how do you clean droids with stickers like R2D2? Thanks for your inspiring video! I've been putting this off for years!

[@toypolloi]

Wash the clothes with hot soapy water, rinse well and dry. Toothbrush and hot soapy water for r2, but avoid the sticker. Same with the clothed figures.

[@pacobel100]

Your videos are so incredibly helpful. I have a 2002 1st edition Master replica lightsaber , with a fixed blade. But it’s going yellow. Do you think this would work?

[@toypolloi]

I can't say I know. Not sure what those are made of. And de-yellowing can often make clear plastic go cloudy.

[@KickapooNinja]

That's crazy isn't it the sunlight and the type of plastic that makes them go yellow? Kool chemical reactions to make them white again using the same source that made them yellow!

[@TheCommander35]

Great video. But...do you know if this same technique would also work on modern figures?

[@toypolloi]

TheCommander35 Should work just as well on modern figures. Give it a go.

[@barth8258]

@@toypolloi Hello, I was watching this video of yours on de-yellowing figures and I have a question about that. Sometimes a toy card bubble will become yellow and look a bit ugly when you are showing off the toy. If I remove a yellowed bubble, flipped it upside down and poured hydrogen peroxide up to the brim, could I remove the yellowing without damaging the bubble? I'm asking because it is thin plastic compared with toy figures.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

They came out very well!

[@captainobvious9233]

How long does the Hydrogen peroxide last? Can you for example put something in it, remove it when it's de-yellowed, then put something else in it? Or do you need to use fresh Hydrogen peroxide every time you plan to de-yellow something?

[@toypolloi]

You can use it multiple times. Just store it in a sealed container away from the light.

[@Eccles_Hall]

Hi Dave. Glad you’ve brought this approach to my attention. I’ve used a 12% HP gel on figures following your video here, to great effect (keeps the bleaching focused to the effected areas). Just wondering if you think the use of HP (gel format) could be used to de-yellow the bubble of carded figures (I’d cover the card to protect it from the sun) and not affect the figure or damage the bubble further. Thanks in advance and keep up the great videos 👍🏻 cheers

[@johnrobertcunningham5017]

hi great tips thanx, does it work for yellowing packages?

Does this remove the paint deco/tampo too? I have some yellowing on my transformers, but some some parts have like painted tampos/deco on it.

I love you work. Not a criticism at all, but can I ask why you choose “de-yellowing” rather than repainting? Wouldn’t repainting white figures like Stormtroopers give a much better result?

[@toypolloi]

These figures were not painted in the first place, just bare plastic. Putting paint all over the figure just looks wrong and makes them much more liable to chip. Do what suits you best. I prefer them this way.

[@Warrior8bit]

Toy Polloi I see. Good point. I like your bleaching methods. But as you point out it rarely results in getting them perfect. Whereas paint would? There are pros and cons to both methods I guess. Keep up the good work :)

[@jakfuki]

How would this work an original release Tatooine Luke? Mine has a telescoping saber. The arms and lower waist have yellowed. I’m afraid that the paint will come off his hands and legs. Do you think that might happen?

But I have question...do you think this procedure will work on a Taun taun?? thank you.

Thanks so much for your videos! Glad to find your channel! I have a set of GI Joes from the 80's in which, as a kid, I painted with cheap model paint to differentiate from my friends' figures.

[@toypolloi]

David Osborne Hey there. If you are wanting to de-yellow, then use Hydrogen Peroxide. To remove the old paint, it depends on what the paint was you used. Acetone can work, but can also damange the plastic. Do tests on a figure you don't care about first. And see what works.

This totally worked for me. But a few months of the figures being back in the Vader case and they've yellowed again. Is this common? I'm doing the peroxide again. Is it better to not store them in the storage case?

[@toypolloi]

It does come back over time. The plastic will keep on degrading. But it doesn't come back as bad as it was to start with. And it depends how you store them and how much UV light they are getting.

[@johnblack9885]

Sadly this method is only temporary. The yellowing can and often does come back. I’ve several figures that were minty white after restoring with hydrogen peroxide re-yellow after 2 years. They have been kept in a cool dry basement on a shelf without contact with other plastics or contaminants. The temperature is a contant 70 degrees farenheit with less than 20 percent humidity. I’ve tried re-doing this process multiple times but unfortunately does not work on the plastic any longer. It seems to have a permanent yellow tint that peroxide and UV cannot reverse. I’ve tried scrubbing with a magic eraser and 3000 grit sandpaper and there is no change as the plastic is compketely yellowed under the surface layer. So enjoy the white minty look at first brcause it is only temporary and a few years later it returns only this time you won’t be able to undo it.

[@toypolloi]

I have, and it's hit and miss. It worked well on a snowspeeder canopy. But made a falcon one go a bit cloudy. So go careful.

[@bousou_shing0]

But is it necessary to fill up the whole jar with Hydrogen Peroxide when you only want to remove specific yellowing from specific parts though since Hydrogen Peroxide does bleach figures if they were overused?

[@impossiblepie]

Can you just cost the areas that need it with a brush then leave in a jar instead of using an entire bottle of hydrogen peroxide? Or it only works if you drown the figures?

[@johnmiic]

Would this process work on vehicle toys like the Action Fleet Millenium Falcon?

[@toypolloi]

It's worth a try. Do some tests.
