I need to vent, and get some advice. My once perfect colored Spirit, and V1 Storm Shadow are starting to yellow bad. I keep these sealed in a bag, in a closed box out of sunlight and smoke. Why is it that they are starting to turn yellow now? This really bums me out quite a bit. Storm Shadow was a highlight of my collection because of how snow white he was. What can I do to prevent further damage to these?

What kind of bag? I think that might be the key here.

The bags are the typical Ziploc bag. Should I get the plastic cases for individual figures instead?

Comic bags are probably safer... They're usually acid-free at least.
