Hi everybody,
I'm not sure who remembers but I bought a yellowed mickey mouse cobra commander awhile back... I used peroxide to try and fix the yellowing.. it worked! but turned the logo and leg stripe pink... see thread here: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...key-mouse.html lesson learnt.. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER.. I HAVE A NEW ONE! Gi Joe Cobra Commander Mickey Mouse Version Mail Order | eBay Now my question is... this looks in VERY good condition.. so I want to protect it from yellowing, thinking a case from a grader of toys.. any suggestions where and how much it would cost? thank you! |

I bought a stack of blister cases from small joes. Pretty much all my figures are in them, to prevent yellowing all you can do is keep from sunlight and crazy temps. I keep my collection in my wardrobe, I would have them on display if I had the space but that factor plus the yellowing issue scares me away from it. If you are going to have them on display keep them out of direct sunlight, even a tiny amount over several months will take its toll!

I have been collecting Joes for quite some time and I never once heard anyone refer to it as "defunct logo". I wouldn't know what they were talking about if they did. Mickey Mouse has been the unofficial name for that version of Cobra Commander for as long as I can remember. Even the club made a convention exclusive version of that figure when the convention was at Disney World.
