Hot Toys Iron Man fading issue?

[C0L0SSUS]

I have a couple HT Iron Man figures I am considering selling. A potential buyer says the soft plastic abdomen and pelvic pieces on the battle damaged mk. III, and the pelvic piece of the mk. IV are lightly faded. I am the original buyer and these figures have always been this way. Is there truth in this or is this a ruse to devalue these figures? Thanks for your time.

You have a lot of reading to do: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99646

But the short answer is yes, they fade over time.

Thanks! I tried using the forum search function but it doesn't work on my phone.

No problem. You should post some pictures, show us how bad the damage is. I've been watching my Avengers Mark VI for fading, nothing yet.

Mods should lock this thread. We don't need a duplicate fading issue thread since the original one has lots of experiences shared and some useful info already.
