    As long as he isn't the target master version ('87).

    But I was saying this because someone (it may have been Kup) said that a lot of the '87 toys didn't react well to H2O2 and would get weird white spots.

    Yeah I saw it work well on a scourge Kup did - was my inspiration

    i think what kup meant was that H2O2 didnt react well with the blue plastic on the little target masters buddies.

Oddly enough, the unyellowed surface area under the plastic is unspoiled.

    but it will still have a worn and damaged look on the surface of the plastic. Due to this, I would not classify the result as a fix.

    Unfortunately the surface defects don't come out in photos but are very visible in person.

    For some reason, 1987 toys react badly to the H2O2.
    ^^Found the posts I was talking about. Also Kup said i was specifically a problem with '87 figures - Scourge is either '86 (original version) or '87 (targetmaster version), which is why I was wondering what version this Scourge was.

    Oh, only just realised SC said this was TM Scourge.
    So maybe I will have a shot at restoring my TriggerHappy figure - which is also an '87 figure and has only light yellowing.

    I can't dismantle him though, so rather than dunking him in H2O2, I'm going to try to make the H2O2 in paste form. Not sure if anyone else on the boards has tried this yet. I'll let you know how it goes.

    I accidentally bought Hydrogen Peroxide in creme form one time (I use the bottle as a door stop now, lol), not sure if it works or not though.

    I've used that! On my toys, I mean. It seems to do the same job with whitening, the only issue I had was that I found part of the toy was slightly warped afterwards, but I'm not sure if that was the case beforehand and I just hadn't noticed or if it was a side-effect of one of the other ingredients in the creme.

    That's right. All 1987 'master figures I tested including the main character and Targetmaster have proven not to react well to H2O2. Although I have never tried restoring Headmasters, Eruntalon's Fort Max reacted badly to it so this may also include the '87 Headmasters range.

    I have personally tried to restore two 'greened' Targetmaster Scourges. They have certainly cleared up very well to an acceptable color but at the same time I noticed that some very lite 'spotting' developed around the edges and curves of the wing piece and some other lite 'stains' on the surface. However it is very lite and not very noticeable (camera wouldn't pick it up) and certainly overwhelmingly better than the 'green'.

    On the other hand the yellowed scourge which you have seen me restoring on this thread is actually a 1986 release and this has exhibited no ill reactions whatsoever. The color restored nicely and evenly throughout the surface.

    As strange as this may be, I have only encountered this bad reactions to H2O2 on 1987 figures. I have tried it on 1988 and 1989 figures with no bad effect. 1984-1986 figures also respond well to it.
