Avalanche Figure needed

Post by Graham_UK »

I just spent the morning looking though my collection and noticed my BF2000 Avalache figure is yellow! Don't know how I never noticed before, anyone got a spare minty figure? I actually only need the figure itself as the mic and gun are perfect. Check out my "Needs" list in my signature, plenty more ways to get my money down there :-)

Just disassemble, remove the metal bits and cure it in peroxide for about 3 days in full sun or under a UV light. It'll be good as new in no time.

Haha, yeah I've given up doing that now. I've had to throw away:

-Avalanche (Vehicle)
-Arctic Blast
-Vector Jet

all turned back but about 10 times worse! The only things which have lasted are my terrordrome (It only had patches of yellow) and my Hurricane.

Weird, I've got a series 1 snowmobile and a few figures, all in good shape after a year or two, or three.

I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth the risk, A year ago I was trying to peroxide everything but it just hasn't lasted! if you saw the mess of my Vector jet I promise you'd gasp at it! Thankfully my Flagg has re-yellowed in sections but nothing that de-values it

Mine's been in a dark wardrobe in my bedroom for over 2 years now! I can't remember it being this bad, annoyingly I sold a mint one 2 weeks ago :-(
