You have done very well there Clint clapping

Nice one mate cheers

Thanks Steve & Andy.

What would you guys do with the Weequay re-seal? I'm assuming the weapon was put behind the figure to hid the fact it's from a modern line. The cardback & figure are in great shape.

Chris. Nicely done. cheers

Does the saber always come separate in bubble?

all trilogo card have loose weapons in the bubble.

kenobi, vader and luke can be found with either the saber in arm or loose. im guessing the the ones with them being loose in the bubble were done just before the line came to a end also interestingly luke farmboy trilogos can be found with a bespin saber loose inside instead of a in arm saber again i think was to the end of the run.

Oh my god, that's fantastic. The screw must go right thru and into the other leg, because there's nothing but air inside the torso. clapping

i stand corrected i was adamant it was one different colour limb however i came across your article on tig. very interesting

definetly discolouration. i still like it in anycase.

aquestion i have 3 han hoths all with one green leg . they have the exact same coo aswell also these particular figure have green faces they are clearly degradation over time

does your explanation of the chewbacca green limbs go similar with han hoth even though chewbacca had moulded brown legs and han hoth painted about a particular factory which used different pigment?

''- Example 1: Take the green limbs Chewie for instance. I am not an expert on this, but I think he was found only with certain Hong Kong COOs. So probably the green limbs Chewie can be traced back to a factory which used batches of brown plastic with a (slightly) different composition in which the red pigment was more prone to degradation, giving rise to green limbs after 30 years. Still this figure is a transformant not a true variant IMO. Why? Because he did not leave the factory with green limbs thirty years ago. ''

Hi Chris,
Thanks for reading that article on discolouration.
Different batches of plastic and/or paint might easily lead to the differences in the degree discolouration within one figure which you see nowadays.

Cheers

Fabrice, Chris (aka poncho) uses an old desk lamp for 10 mins. Probably has an old incandescent bulb that produces heat. The only thing that I don't know, is how far away from the bubble it has to be?? Maybe send him a PM.

clint has nailed it. i can give you a step by step guide if you wanna pm me. i should of recorded and made a article it it literally took less than 3 mins and it was gone. done be afraid the bubble will not melt ive done this 3 times now and it worked a treat everytime. heavy frosting will take a few applications of bursts of say 10 min intervals
