    He's mine and while looking pretty decent, he has a hint of brown coming through. I've taken steps and wrapped the body is plasticwrap.

      I have one with no sign of "rot" but am always paranoid about it and wonder if I should swap bodies or try the plasticwrap trick. Everytime I see him sitting on the shelf, I'm almost waiting to see that first sign of brown.

          Wrap him or switch bodies NOW! Mine was superclean at one point, and one day I just looked up and noticed a hint of brown. At first I thought it was just the light playing tricks. Drop everything and do it now! For tomorrow you may wish you had!

            That's the one thing I don't like about this figure, the "total" black and white motiff...

              I modified mine into one of the CARD GUARDS from ALICE IN WONDERLAND it came out looking pretty cool. (just so everyone knows it was the EMCE VERSION)

                Crap, I think you just scared me straight. But yeah, I probably have been pushing my luck, so I'll take care of this asap. Thanks for the push, Dave.

                    I love my Cheron, it took me ages to find a really crisp one. Such a cute face. Going to check on him and do the body wrap thing right now. .
                    Thanks for the prompting Dave.

                        Mine's not brown, just dingy as is often the case with aged white clothing. I did switch bodies in mine as soon as I got it, though.

                        Has anyone tried bleaching the suit, or will that trash the black side?

                          I gotta say I rather like this version of Cheron, I'm almost disappointed Gene Roddenberry didn't dress Frank Gorshin this way

                            Haven't done this myself yet, I'd better go check on my Cheron and wrap him... if it's not too late yet
