This could be useful for those with yellow stormtroopers!

Will have a try.....Wonder if it will work on 12 inch troopers.
I like how they have expanded on the treatment process!
Ingredients:-
1 pint Hydrogen Peroxide, at least 20% strength
1 teaspoonful xanthan gum (health food shops or Ebay)
1/2 teaspoonful 'Vanish Oxy Action Plus' (any 'Oxy' laundry booster will do)
1 teaspoonful glycerine
Equipment:-
Gloves and Goggles (Safety First!)
1 UV lamp
Liquidiser or hand blender
Chuck all ingredients except the Oxy into a container and mix until a smooth thick gel is formed. Just before you use it, add the Oxy in by stirring and then brush the mix onto the item to be treated. Stick it under the UV lamp and check regularly until the yellowing has gone.
The results in the thread you posted Ed are amazing. I am wondering if you could use the gel mixture on yellowing bubbles with a positive result.

OK, I'll admit I could only get about half-way through the link on this, my mind started to wander as I was reading it, due to all the technical talk.
My first question is do you think this process could do any harm to the figure later on down the road?
Secondly, what would this do to the value of figures out there now that are already naturally minty white, without the treatment? Seems like if all the yellow figures could be made white again the value of these figures would bottom out, making them nearly worthless.
Sounded really good, but just wondering what the long-term effects would be. Just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on this.

Interesting question! You're right, prices are all based on supply and demand, so if minty white figures were more readily available then prices would no doubt drop. I don't think that's a bad thing personally!
I'd like to see someone give it a go, the results in some of those photos are amazing.
