        The PVC used to make the Doc M bodies is different then the 70's mego plastic that gave wveryone trouble with the Cheron & with Fonzie's Waist. (If we were talking RIT DYED bodies, I'd be more inclined to worry, as Rit dye can always leach out of plastic)

        Have you ever tried to Dye a lot of this modern material?
        A lot of it is different from the Vintage stuff.
        There is some sort of Scotch Guard on a lot of it (especiallt CTVT), making it difficult to dye. Dunno about the cheron suit, but I can throw one in some dye and let you know later...

        If you are REALLY concerned, why not Drop a few $ on a WHITE DM BODY?
        Easy enough to slip the Cheron into that and do a warm hand swap with some hot water. I KNOW that Doc's White body won't give you any trouble at all.

        FYI: I have been thinking about swapping with half white body since well before the Cheron was reissued. It could make for some cool swimsuit photos...

          WHAT THE ? At First glance at the Title I was a little concerned .

          No I am sure it will be fine. Kike DaveMc said it takes years , and will you really care in 30 years ? Plus like Type1Kirk and everyone else pointed out . Very Different materials were used I am sure.

          So leave him be

              But let's not go into that now......
