Has there been any findings that point to anything other than sun damage for this figure?

Just sun damage, I laugh when I see people selling "yellow boots" dusty on ebay. Next time I see that, I should try offering them a RARE yellow shirt IRS.

You want to actually look after your "pure" white boots Dusty, as eventually nearly everyone's loose Dusty will have a hint of yellow to them.
The big craze on Ebay years ago was to buy a Yellow boots dusty loose.
Well people need to spend more money investing in a White boots dusty that have zero yellow tint.

Yeah, I remember turning down several offers to buy a 'Yellow Boots', loose, Dusty figure. They were a massive deal to some collectors a few years back. |

The Yellow Boots Dusty craze worked out great for me. About ten years ago, when I first sold my hasbros I couldn't understand why my lot of 30 beat up figures was well over $400. During the auction, people kept requesting closeup photos of the Dusty Rhodes figure. At the time, I wasn't involved on these forums and had no idea about Yellow Boots Dusty. It's funny to think how little info there was on hasbros just 10 years ago. Now we're spoiled.

Not sure when the yellow thing started, but we weren't talking about it in the late 90s/early 00s.
When did everyone finally realize it wasn't "real"? Seems even a few years ago many around here still believed. Crazy to think anyone this much into toy collecting to be on a web forum had never seen other white plastics turn out similar before.

It's not sun damage, it's oxidation. The same thing that turns old Nintendo consoles yellow, but you never hear of that "variant."

I bought a Dusty yb years back. It's condition was noway mint, but it was at least expensive enough to give me the feeling of buying something extremely rare and special. When I received the package I was really looking forward to opening it in the evening. When it was unpacked, I realized that Dusty yb was nothing more than a sun/nicotine or whatever color fading. I was extremely disappointed and frustrated. At the same time I kicked myself for being so stupid. The figure didn't make it for years in my collection. Today I still own it and proudly display it. Not because it is rare or special, but because it is kind of a reminder for me to nit believe in everything that people say, just because it is on Ebay or the internet in general. People will tell you everything (Jake Roberts yellow snake variant for example) to get your money. In fact Dusty yb must have saved me alot of money over the last years. 😄

For me...yellow boots dusty is a fantasy.
BUT...I'm convinced there's a white hair and a grey hair dusty...can anyone confirm?
