I have seen many mailaway Hogans fading in color. I really never cared as mine was still perfect. However apparently mine started fading over the last months too and I was pretty disappointed today when I looked in my cabinet. Of course sunlight protection etc. so what happened?! Is this happening to all of them?

This sucks, does anyone know why this is happening or how to combat it? I have almost all of the loose action figures and I don't want this to happen to them.

Checked mine and its still bagged byt diesnt seem lighter than it before.... yet. So i agreed on any tips. Mine are in a large plastic tub out of sun light but I'd hate to see them fade out. 😭 |

Thats why I don't display my figures, Sun damage is lethal.
I do find curtain figures fade quicker than others. Ludvig Borga is a pain for me. He's like a chameleon.

it does look like my Hogan is the same as many other pics but not sure what he was like as new - it still seems pale in a few pics that ive seen when it was new.
Any pics of anyone else's with close to original colour for reference?

Any pics of anyone else's with close to original colour for reference? I have realized the same. However it wasnt really noticeable back than. Weird! This pic is from 2007. My figures havent been moved since that day.  Edit: That British Bulldog is driving me crazy! My collection is supposed to be unplayed. Dont know how he made it into the cabinet and survived 10 years. |

My Hulk Hogan mail-away is the same as the ones shown. He has a pale torso and a "tanned" arm. I bought mine several years ago on eBay, so he's been that way as long as I've had him.

Either way I still love this Hogan and was so pleased to get him.
Just wish I knew how much they'd be worth now back in 93 so I could have invested in them lol
