De-yellowing Vintage Star Wars Hoth Wampa & Taun Taun experiment

- In this video I try an experiment using the 6% Hydrogen Peroxide solution to de yellow some vintage Kenner Star Wars ESB toys.
After watching one of Toy Polloi's de yellowing star wars figures videos I thought I would find the worst yellow toys I could to perform the experiment on! I had previously tried the technique with vintage consoles but hadn't tried it with figures / toys. I used a large mayonnaise jar and a zip lock bag with an elastic band to keep it in place. I left the jar in my greenhouse for a day at a time turning the figures once or twice a day. The Wampa took 3/4 days and the Taun Taun took 4/5 days. In just over a week the toys were done! These are the results - Enjoy ! :)

Looks like it worked great!
such great results with the 6% I was lucky with the weather here in Yorkshire so I made sure I made the most out of it!
Awesome results!!!
Get the cream and you won't need to pull anything apart. I did a Wampa and the whole Falcon in one piece and they look great, like new again.
Is the peroxide the same one used to mix hair dye??
Great work on the Wampa and Taun Taun 👍 The purists have a problem with this technique but I think their the ones with the problem. Brought new life to old toys and made them display worthy top job.👍
Thanks for the comments and subscribing Paul :)
Cool results
Wow and Dave's here too 👌
You can also use IN lights in place of leaving it out in the sun. From what I've seen, you get the results in hours instead of days.
What kind of lights can you use? What are IN lights?
Using lights can cause streaking on larger pieces. The Sun is best results.
It was supposed to say "UV lights". ... Stupid autocorrect change that I didn't notices for a YEAR.
I know this is an older video, but i wonder if this could work for an AT AT legs that have discolored?? Its kinda yellowish grey... i heard years..maybe decades that it was the actual first versions of the harder plastic for the line of star wars toys?? Especially the AT ATs...The first????
Awesome! Did this get rid of yellowing glue on the wampa as well? I wasn’t sure how common the yellow swaths of glue on the seams are, as mine has some that I’d like to get rid of. Wasn’t sure how it would react with the glue. Seems yours did great!
Yes it removed the glue marks also i also did an x wing with the same result (see my other vids). Thanks for watching / commenting :)
After awhile this becomes an experiment of what can I deyellow next. And sadly a year two they start yellowing again
I just wanted to go through the whole process so I could learn how / why it works. I have done more since this and it turns out they don't need to be fully submerged in the solution. By having a small amount in the bottom of a large container the chemical reaction inside works the same. I cling film the top up and turn the pieces once a day for 3 days or until white. Thanks for watching :)
@@retrorevival617 it's fun. I found out by accident trying to clean my wampa, cleaned the ovenware with stains too!

I left my EMPIRE Lando out and he Rose to the surface. His torso is now light blue. Almost white.
The rest of him is really nice though
I've heard from some people that they start to yellow again after as little as 2 months. Nobody has been able to tell me what environmental conditions are ideal to prevent this from happening in the first place.
@@TheSickNeeds There is nothing you can do to stop the yellowing process.
I hate to be the jerk that thumbs down a video but there’s too much movement and the text is had to make out.
Ok.
