The first version Aquaman's outfit always seemed slimmer and tighter fitting than the later ones to me. There's usually more of the chest showing above the collar.
That being said, I'm quite convinced the Original 4 (Superman, Aquaman, RM Robin and RC Batman) WGSH released ALL had dyes that faded.
Superman turns Purple
RC Batman turns Pink
RM Robin turns Yellow
Aquaman turns Yellow
Do we need DNA evidence or what?!?Last edited by highquality; Jun 26, '07, 12:23 PM.Comment

The theory is right, I just think "Fade" is the wrong term. The yellow fabric was dyed green and that dye is leaching away, breaking down, migrating, whatever. To me, faded green is a light, washed out green, not crazy bright yellow, which many examples have.This profile is no longer active.Comment

The same thing happens a great deal on the 12" Luthor's pants. Intended to be green, they are often found yellow. I've seen suits in mid transformation as well.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

So...the "fading" is really the result of...
UNSTABLE MOLECULES!!!
Someone call Reed Richards!
Oh wait, they've already gotten to his head.
But seriously, 12" Lex pants were supposed to be green? I've never seen one with green pants. Of course I know for comic accuracy, they should be green, and the drawing on the box they are, but I assumed Mego had extra yellow-green fabric lying around and went the cheap route.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if there is something about the dye, such as color, that makes it more susceptible compared to others.

Chris to answer your question, yeah it was definitely green at the beginning.
1979 Catalog features Lexy wearing that deep green.
This is mine about 10 years ago, all kinda washed out. I checked the other day and they're much more prominantly yellow. I need to update this section with new photography.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions
