Buy Mattel! The mattel figures have been the worst offenders lol To be fair though, I live in Los Angeles, where the air is 90% acid, so there's that. About that yellowing white plastic, based on experiences with LEGO, it turns yellow because of the fire retardant they add to the ABS. It reacts with light and oxygen or whatever, but yeah there are ways to restore it. This happens with all old sets, but not sure if they maybe changed the formula for the plastic in recent years.

Mainly keep them out of direct sunlight. Sunlight will ruin a lot of things if exposed for too long. Remember blockbuster and other rental places how the movie covers by the windows were yellowed and super faded.

I try to watch what I eat and exercise. For my figure. As for my wrestling figures, they are in a smoke free environment(no clue why people would want to smoke in their house), out of sunlight and I just try to be careful with my figures on display. 100% right. Smoke destroys figures. You can't get the smell out. It's disgusting.
