I really should wear gloves but always forget. Lol. It’s not that bad. Just wash afterwards. Last time I used peroxide it took a whole week to get results that I can get in a few hours with salon 40. Here is the Hammer I just treated. Back to original color. 

 

 

I miss this vehicle.  I think it was the last or one of the last ones I bought as a kid.   Even after all this time I look at it and can instantly tell which parts are missing.  Luckily I still have a few seatbelt clips laying around somewhere in case I ever wanted to start putting one together.

I got a couple extra parts now if you need em. The Hammer is really cool. One of those vehicles I didn’t discover until I was a couple years in collecting vintage Joes again.

Baroness is an awesome figure. Well worth it if you can get her. I finally got to use my King Conan throne in a pic.

 Oh no ... I don't have one at all.  I was looking at the one you have and because I know the vehicle like the back of my hand I could tell the whip antenna was not present nor the ammo box.  One day I will pick one up again.   

I am appreciative of the offer though...

Some deyellowing results. I’m not sure why his eyes/eyebrows are green. I’ve never seen a Thunder that way.

Picked up some TFs. 

Deluxe Insecticon - Chop Shop. 

Doesn't look like this has been played with. 

Paint on the chest is notoriously bad.  Chest spreads out and nearly always rubs like crazy. 

IMO, the Deluxe Insecticons are undervalued.  For the year released, they are definitely less common.  Guess that happens with no exposure via the TV show.

Let's try this lightening thing today... 

I have two wampas.  One less yellowy one will get the peroxide treatment.  The really yellow one will get the salaon 40 treatment.  

Let's see what happens...

Let's see what happens... 

Anyone have a recommendation for how many hours?  I put them outside at 2:10 PM.

I used a toothbrush to really scrub the salon 40 into the contours of one of the wampas.  He is in the bag.  I had to use the lid to the jar with the peroxide.  The wampa is surprisingly buoyant despite me trying to let everything leak into it.  I flipped him since the legs retained their white color while it was the torso that had yellowed.

The wampas' faces  looks scared side by side with the different bottles!

Good luck! I'm interested to know which works better

Anyone make the trip to Target today to see if there were any Galaxy's edge toys on the shelves?

Deluxe Insecticon #2

Ransack

Pickup up my 1st one from the illustrious Flying Donutz.   Youre my boy, Blue.

This one often has super loose wings.  This one is real tight.

Same with antenna.  

Side note, sure do love seeing Tracks in red on the box.  Underappreciated Transformer.   He'd look cool in most colors.

Oh yeah  ... I lost interest as soon as Hondo Ohnaka became available on a card. 

After seeing the comparison of the two falcons on youtube and preordering my own Hondo Ohnaka, I am satisfied with my Legacy Falcon.  It was not worth $400 to get a deeper paint wash, an alternate radar dish, 6 porgs, and three crates.

Let's take a trip to Target to see all the Star Wars, GI Joe, and Transformers stuff they 'don't have'...

I agree! $399 is a crazy price! Especially considering it comes with Porgs!  They bring down the value! 

I rode Smuggler's run @ WDW last year, it was a lot of fun!

I don't think there is any chance of seeing GI Joes at Target!

I wouldn't mind picking up the DJ Rex figure...

That’s what I was hoping to find - found him stashed - I remember him from Star Tours.
