Just as well, I literally just checked back in to say "NVM, just pulled mine off the shelf, and his back is discolored!"
Just goes to show, this stuff doesn't last forever. AFA comic packs, I skipped many of them unless it was a substantial departure from the OG, or a V1, like Kwinn. The only one I've personally had issues with brittle plastic on is SI (so far), but discoloration seems to blanket the entire line from 2000-2006. Lastly, that medics pack is also pretty great. Again, discoloration, but even so, no regrets. |

My experiences have been pretty similar to everyone else - mostly prone to just discoloring. I haven't had any figures from that era shatter or break- no elbow cracks, broken thumbs or broken crotches at all.

So far other than Zartan's upper arms, I haven't had any discoloration issues with the other 2001 two packs and drivers. But the ones from 2002 have been horrible for it. Tomax and Xamot's arms, and all of Lifeline and the arms and torso of Sideswipe. And all of Shipwreck except his face lol.
The legs on my both Alley Viper versions from 2002 have eventually yellowed. I was careful about how I stored them, but it seems like it happens no matter what. Same with the Green and Grey Vipers and some of the Joe vs Cobra figures that came with O-Ring figures seem to have discoloration issues as well. But I haven't had any breakage issues. The comic three pack O-Ring figures are a different story. I swear some of them are more fragile than 82 straight arm Joes. |
