Hi i have some vintage Star Wars toys that were white when they were packed away but now have yellowed. Is there a way to make them white again?
If you want your toys to stick around, it's worth reversing the yellowing process. The plastic is actually breaking down and eventually will just crumble. Deyellowing actually helps to preserve the item. Here's a good video about restoring video game consoles, but the principles are the same

Aw, man. I remember when you could get Colt .45s at yard sales and people were all into making them factory new. Looking back at how they ruined these museum pieces and seeing it happen again in this hobby is hard.
Any method suggested for removing the yellow hue from the PVC.
Doomed. I had mint perfect POTF figures. The coins are silver and looked silver because they were behind a clear bubble. Now they are gold because the bubble has yellowed over time. These were kept in a box so I know sunlight has nothing to do with the yellowing process.
