Funny you mentioned this. I went through my POTF Star Wars figures that had been boxed for over 10 years and for some reason, Lando Calrisson is the only one that I found so far with the yellowed bubble and the rest still looks normal. Here is an explanation for the yellowing bubbles. It' s not pretty.
Plastic bubbles may begin to yellow for a variety of reasons. In short, yellowing is an indication of the breakdown of the plastic used to make the bubble. The process of yellowing is irreversible though it may be slowed down in a number of ways. Probable causes for yellowing are excess exposure to heat, humidity and UV light. Severe exposure can lead to bubbles that are completely brown and opaque |
