Clear but with a twist: This Hedoranchak is a clear one that Naritada stuffed full of flashing that he cut off from GID vinyls he made! Sorry I don't have a great shot of the glow as it's pretty light out at the moment, but he does have a unique and eery glow to him since it's happening under the skin...

Slowly growing a clear w/paper guts collection. Super 7 hood zombie was my first, still have the alternate robot guts that came with it.

 

Just got it today:

I had @topher add some color to this clear fff and I couldn't be happier with the way it came out.

 

Does anyone know of a sure way of fixing clear vinyl thats yellowing? its 2017 and theres gotta be a better way, ive read through some of the older posts on fixing the issue but none seem to work. picked up a figure thats yellowed to death.

 

^^
Wait..there are old threads on fixing the issue?
I don't recall reading many older posts about fixing the issue (if the threads are out there please attach them for reference..sorry I'm old) because it seems like it has to with the quality and chemical composition. Clear vinyl sculpts have gotten better and less cloudy in the last 3 years but I didn't know they were fixable.

 

I wish I knew as well; I bought a milk white King Smog recently and it's yellowing

 

My clear Skull Kun looks like someone pissed on it, and it bums me out. I'd love to be able to reverse that.

 

@parker I don't think it can be reversed.
Keep sunlight off them, and use LED lighting.
Possibly storing in bags for long periods of time contributes to it too..
It seems like there could be a ton of factors involved.
I do my best to prevent it but have accepted that it will probably happen to all of them atleast alittle.

 

Ok, I did find an article that describes cleaning plastic through oxidation and UV exposure. Not sure if this would apply to clear vinyl toys, and I have NOT TESTED this method. Might be worth a try on a cheap clear toy though. I posted the article in the "cleaning thread"

The only actual clears I have

 

It's sad because I like having my Clear toys on my shelf where they DO receive direct sunlight...because it looks like candy when the light filters through. But then I run the risk of all of them becoming yellow. Is there a Clear UV film for windows?
