Whiten your Vintage Star Wars Stormtrooper but watch out for THIS!!!

There is a great way to whiten your vintage stromtroopers but there is such thing a too much of a good thing

[@Motorsportsgeek]

3% peroxide in a clear bin for a couple of days is safe and works great without worries.

[@toypolloi]

Why did you leave them in for so long? And the 20% is just too strong. Always go with less.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Yes I know now. I used the same solution for 7 or 8 batches and each one took more days to whiten and I honestly forgot they were out there. I checked daily for about 5 or 6 days and they were only about 50% better...well lesson learned.

@@tydiriumhanger1320 We all try and sometimes make mistakes. Its all good, we learn and move on. Thanks for sharing this.

[@arturomaldonado853]

Can you use 20%cream without sun? To avoid sunburn. Of course I'm reading this the day my 20% cream came in the mail.

[@bigjohn7688]

Use 6% its safer max 6 days on any strength.

I actually got the red marks from a collection my friend gave me that were kept in an attic for 30+ years. They were all in the Vader and 3po case.. I noticed it affected storm troopers, snow troopers, and biker scouts.. Their arms mostly started turning red. I just imagine they are in a red planet. I have not attempted to remove them but it's an interesting phenomena . I will say that my original storm troopers only have mild "beiging" along with my original childhood snow troopers . My bikerscouts retained their whiteness for the most part.

Well time to paint them red they can be the Emperors guard lol!

[@Obiter3]

Aww that blows, so that's why I've seen some pink ones out there

[@dansap4788]

I used 3%, soaked them for 3 days..90% got whiter...but 10% of them started to turn maroon. Definitely monitor them a couple times a days no matter how strong the solution is.

[@robertmahaffey3574]

I have the red on my 6inch commander wolffe

[@edminister]

Sithtrooper DIY!

[@10-103M]

distilled water in glass diluted with no cover works best for your method

[@RodChamp-u9k]

Can you do it to a yak face ?

[@noflex8451]

I have a question, my figures are kinda red because what you said “the sun” but if i play with them and my other figs do my other figures also `get red?

[@10-103M]

so shat happens if you use tap water the chemicals react to the impurity's in the water or yo get bleed out from the container they are in. best way I have found is to use salon care 40 peroxide gel applied with a clean brush tip and left in sun for one day. also never do your method with an red or yellow painted guy it will stain. hope this helps

[@noflex8451]

I have that some figures with that red on it, is there any way to save them? Clean)

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Not sure if they will ever go back to normal but seem less bad over time.

[@noflex8451]

Tydirium hanger oh man ;( i hope i can fix it somehow if not rip Commander thorn and shock trooper

[@escottamezcua6814]

Stupid question but I can’t find the answer nor question anywhere. Will this also work with the 1995 power of the force storm troopers or only for the vintage???

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Should work fine but I would check them 2 times a day and not leave them out longer than 3 days max.

[@escottamezcua6814]

Okay thank you!

[@shaolinwisdom]

It's best to use a container indoors with a UV and lower solution

[@pmiranda19]

Can you reuse the hydrogen peroxide?

[@stonewars3224]

Here's the reason why they're red. Sunburn.

[@rsalceda]

Did you exposed them to the sun? THE FIRST SET OF STORMTROOPER AND SNOWTROOPERS?

[@Javier23128]

Bro can i buy 1 figur from the ugly figures

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I am holding on to these to see if the restore on their own over time. Thanks
