bought a dcuc superboy from the los box set and boy was he in a mess when he arrived

so i fixed his hip and set to trying to restore his color ,i
ve used this successfully with super powers figure that have discoloured due to age so thought it worth a shot ,

so into the hydrogen peroxide bath he went ,in sunlight for 5 days
fist dip

better but thought it worth another bash ,so back in he went
he was looking like a lost cause when i removed him initially most of the figure had faded ,cape and boots went pink so was resigned to painting him ,but as he dried out over a couple of hours his colors came back ,i was shocked to say the least
straight out of the bath

and after a couple of hours he now at least presentable

worth the attempt i feel as i achieved what i set out to do which was to remove the staining and that worked out for me
