My guess would be sun damage. Perhaps indirect sun that reflected on only his left leg for a while, like he was partially coverd up or blocked by something else. The sun can be cruel.
"Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came."
Same question with the Robin sleeves and shorts. Were they shipped yellow? Did they fade? Why so evenly and easily on some and not all. Was it a change? Did some fade as this AM's leg did. Would green ones fade the same if you did it now? Why just the RM Robin? Sun affects Mego's but not always the same for each piece. It's just one of those unexplained Mego Mysteries.
Green color is a blend of two colors.and what happens is either by sunlight or time a chemical reaction takes place, where the one of the colors fades or bleaches itself out.
Yellow being a primary color is usually left.
some colors can fade over time even thought its not in sunlight at all this is because the dyes were of poor Quality or not readily bond to each other , and become unstable & seperate over time.
It was probably a production issue in China. Maybe a dye combination that was used on the first run before it was discovered that it was bad, and then changed.
I mean, how many costume variations exist simply because THAT was the material they had on hand and were using on that day in the factory?
i think that Ben covered some of this in WGT, or was that about Robin having yellow sleeves???
as for the auction, why start so high? i wonder if anyone will bid.....
