Yellowing Plastic

Postby tech348 » Mon Aug 06, 2007 12:57 pm

I just took my alternators Meistor out uf box to transform him and I noticed his rear bumper and the triangular shaped plastic on his hood where his head would pop out in robot mode are yellowing. Anyone else having this issue?

Unfortunately, it's the natural course for all plastic to turn yellow and become brittle. Sunlight, UV light, exposure to chemicals and smoking will speed this process up. It seems odd to happen to such a new figure, but unfortunately, there is no stopping it, only slowing it down.

Mine had the same problem when I bought alternator Jazz by December of last year at Walmart. It had some yellowing inside the hood ,and it was dirty too a bit in the center. It also had some yelowing in the rear. When I move one of the arms to pose him the arm came off easily every time. I end up returning him ,and got a refund. It was a nice figure but felt dissapointed with the quality. I don't know if all of them are like that.

Now that you mention his arm falls off the right arm falls off easily as well.
