I say test your hypothesis. Leave the one you know changed in water for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Try to duplicate the process.

Do they stink? I left some legos in a bucket out in the rain when I was a kid, they stunk horribly.

I've had similar fading happen but it was due to the clear plastic and not the water. The fading was even and perfect based on the chemicals given off by the plastic.

don't use PLANO plastic containers to store joes...they are not archival plastic :-)

Whatever dude. You know you were just trying to create some legit backstory for this piece so you could sell it on ebay for big bucks to some sucker. :lol:

That's actually pretty strange. I've seen water fade out the paint on a figure before, similar to too much sunlight but I've never seen it come back to normal after drying out.

Really makes you wonder what kind of chemicals they were using in the plastics back then (or the water now).
