    Haha.. Took me four attempts to whiten my Jetfire parts out in the sun in different times this week.
    Am pleased with the whitening results so far. I even dabbed on H2O2 on my old Star Wars Leia and Stormtrooper action figure while they baked in along with parts.
    The results was amazing.. From heavy stained yellow to sparkling white within hours.
    My partner told me that yellowing is common in white action figures because they were exposed from smoking chemical lingering inside the house and also sun damage as well although smoke exposure is more common too

    Congratulations! Jetfire is one of the more H2O2 friendly toys but just keep in mind that some plastics don't react well to it. We have identified most of the Headmaster/Targetmaster 1987 figures as vulnerable.

    Thanks Kup.. It would not been for you if I did not know what to do something about the stained Jetfire
    I want to know to confirm if all of the 1987 model toys are vulnerable to H2O2 especially Fortress Maxiums?

    Sweet. What about the different degrees of yellow. can it be whitened too much.. could it work on clear toys as well . e.g. jewel lord diamon/solitaire
