Hi. I just purchased a vintage Spirit figure on eBay and didn't look at the pictures as carefully as I should have. As is the case w/ a number of old Spirit and Shipwreck figures, the blue on his torso, back, and one arm has started to turn a sort of yellowish blue.
I know about the peroxide "cure" for white plastic but will this work on blue or other colors? Thanks!

From what I have read on here is that when you do that trick the yellowing comes back even worse weeks later.

The peroxide trick won't work on Spirit, or any other colored plastic. The torso on mine had turned a nice bluish tan color and peroxide didn't tell it anything after sitting in it all day out in the sun.
And yes, for white plastic, the yellowing will come back even worse. I have a Storm Shadow I bathed for a full day and he bleached out perfect white. Now he is the perfect color to be a desert ninja.

Thanks, guys! I'll just have to be more observant toward my eBay purchases. Thanks again.
