How to restore a 1977 vintage STAR WARS stormtrooper figure | Easy to follow

In this video I show you how to easily restore your vintage Star Wars figures to their former glory. Over time the plastic on the old Kenner figures starts to yellow, especially on figures such as the stormtrooper. Using cheap and easily found chemicals and just a spot of sunshine you can make them look brand new again. Join me as I show you how.

Have you tried a luke skywalker stormtrooper helmet?

[@geeklunchmeet]

I have not but I can't see why it wouldn't have the same effect. Thanks for watching 😀👍

I really appreciate you showing this process. Here in Texas we get plenty of sun so my Wampa is in the backyard now taking his peroxide bath! Might try the cream too if that doesn’t do the trick after several tries.

Good stuff😀 I hope it works. Thanks for watching 👍

Impossible to find hydrogen peroxide in Scotland. Everywhere I asked they said it is out of stock and not to be restocked anymore...I'm wondering if it is one of the government's rules to keep people "safe" ...Honestly, unbelievable....

Yeah it's not as easy to get here as it used to be. You can get the cream stuff easier presumably because it's used for hair treatments

Please wear protective gloves guys when using this stuff.

Thanks for this! Going to give it a try :)

[@geeklunchmeet]

Glad you found it useful. Good luck 😀

Hello. Thanks for the videos. Does the whitening last long term? Or does the yellowing return?

[@geeklunchmeet]

Thanks for watching. All of the figures I've restored are still fine. Over time and depending on how you display them there's always the possibility they could yellow

[@rustyblades2566]

Brilliant results. So the black paint doesn't get effected?.

[@geeklunchmeet]

No not at all. 🙂

[@rustyblades2566]

Phew...that was a concern of mine. I know the red Imperial logos on the AT-AT helmets fade.

[@geeklunchmeet]

@@rustyblades2566 yeah I suspect any lighter colours might be affected but the black appears all good.

[@rustyblades2566]

Great to hear. Incidentally, where are you from?. You're accent is pretty cool.

[@geeklunchmeet]

@@rustyblades2566 Ah thanks. I'm from the south of England. 😁
