I'll have to see it in person, but I think yes, I probably will. Gotta have those G1-derful colors come thru! (That was terrible, sorry.)

The original colors look more realistic. I'll leave it as it is.

How would you clean it?

by **Bumblebee-otch** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 7:17 pm

i would like to find one first, before i decide to clean him :sad:

Considering that I can barely see any weathering on mine the way I have him displayed, It's staying as is.

i definately don't like the weathering but i'm just afraid i'd mess up the fig or something. that's if we around the philly area ever get the damn thing in our wal-marts.

Maybe it's just because I've got Return Of The Jedi on in the background, but it looks like you're trying the Jedi mind trick. :-?

Same, in bot mode, the weathering is barely noticeable.

The weathering on mine was very heavy, so I cleaned the whole thing and boy was it worth it. He looks a hundred times better without all of that weathering. And it's very easy to do to boot.

by **zemper** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 9:25 pm

just clean the weathering using ordinary rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl works wonders, and it's pretty common here in our country, just make sure you use pure 70% solution, not the ones with added fragrances, etc.) and cotton balls and buds (or q-tips, as it is prolly more commonly known there). it may take time, depending on the amount of weathering, but it works on the scorch marks.

:MAX:
