zombie

[Guest]

could someone describe exactly what a head gone 'zombie' would look like i.e. human torch is a prime example i believe! some pics would be good, before and after(so to speak) thanks all

A zombie torch. Note the head has lost its red colour.



The flesh coloured heads turn grey.

I was thinking that too. I have a Torch that looks much worse, almost a sickly grey-pink. Yuck. The sad thing is that I've owned the figure for over 15 years and have literally watched it happen in front of me. I also have a Thing that I've owned even longer that has a very faded light orange head now. Damn Pin Pin FF figures.

If you want, I can take a "before and after" pic using a good Torch figure for comparison, so you can see the whole sad story for yourself. The colour difference is striking.

man there's no way of stopping that crap either,I bought a Ponch with a great head left in a case for 3 months,pulled it out last week and it's already turning on me,must me the type of weather in Miami D'OH!!!!!!!!!!

You can try to de-gray the figure if you need to.Look in the tutorial section of the museum

the torch head is an almost orange color instaed of a bright red. the others turn grey the invisiable girl head is a common one so is mr fantastic.

[collect em' all!]

well I've seen a lot worse that's for sure

I did the de-graying trick to a Mr. Fantastic and Luke Duke. I was moderately successful after repeat dips, but eventually they went back to gray. I personally don't think it's worth the effort. I guess it depends on the instability of each head, so results may vary, but I don't see myself wasting time on it again.
