Cleaning Help on Jakks Classic Series Hollywood Hogan

Does anybody smoke in your house?

My dad smokes and I noticed an orange haze on some of my bubbles I had in the living room where he did
I never had it happen once I moved out.

The other thought would be sun damage, I’ve never seen the boa itself change that drastically just the package tint has gone orange before in this said above cases

As for fixing it, I tried bleach water and cotton balls and it helps but it was never perfect again

plastic oxidizes over time, fades, discolors. nothing you can do with a natural/chemical reaction

I take that back, you have options such as selling this one and finding a better one, but so many factors such as light and climate And storage will ultimately still do the same thing to a new one

I have a Moc CS Midnight Express set & it’s done the exact same thing....there’s really nothing you can do for it outside of maybe selling that one & buying another in better condition....also anytime you open the package it lessens value, even if you reseal it

I had this happen with a couple of my old Jakk'd bobble heads. I wanna say it was Angle & Jericho. Odd thing is they were displayed with all the others with no altered lighting conditions, in a room with blacked out windows, climate controlled (room never exceeded 75 degrees), in a non-smoking household.

I know when the plastic packaging is manufactured, the plastic is petroleum based and has a very very fine film of oil to prevent sticking when cooling. My guess is on a rare occasion a sheet or two may be made with a slightly off composition or slightly more or less oil, making them more vulnerable to discoloring.

You have to think, no packaging manufacturer produces packaging with aging in mind. Packaging is made to look good until it's ripped apart and discarded.
