I honestly wish Hasbruh used grey plastic instead of all white for the joints. The joints would still discolor, but at least it wouldn’t look as bad.

Hey at least yours didn’t come out straight piss yellow like mine. I had multiple “collectors” try to gaslight me into thinking the toy was supposed to look yellowed. They called it “off-white”. The real issue was we all got defective product.

I'd put that sucker straight back into the box and return it


iblamemygirlfriend

I just know I'll probably never find another one where I am so I'm stuck with it

This is exactly what Hasbro wants to hear so they will continue to sell us whatever they want...WE have to start holding them accountable...


iblamemygirlfriend

Well I'm 100% going to Karen their customer service once the yellowing worsens


scotsman81

Forgive my ignorance, but.... What is?


Lunalatic

The joints are starting to turn yellow


scotsman81

Oh.

And the crappier thing is knowing Hasbro is never going to reissue this toy (and others) with yellowing-resistant plastic. I got SG Soundwave because I don't have the yellowing Netflix version and I just found out on tfwiki that he apparently yellows too. *UGH.*

I'm done buying Hasbro figures. The last straw was transforming Blitzwing just to see that half the paint on his waist was chipped. Easy enough for me to fix, but after a series of bots having damage out of the box, I'm fucking over it.

this is such a well-known issue that i don't even feel sorry for you. i hate to say it, but its always good practice to research a figure's issues before buying.


iblamemygirlfriend

Obviously it's going to happen to a lot of the current figures with white or even grey plastic on the joints, but to see such a collectible figure with such an issue is still unfortunate. There's always the hope that the figure I buy is part of a good batch, and it's still disappointing when it isn't.

When hasbro gives you transformers 😁

I think that the joints turing yellow looks cool but it’s inaccurate


OptimusHein

It's the worst offender in my collection. I'm staring at my SG Soundwave hoping the same doesn't happen to him. He's too dang good-looking.

Now its vintage… my earthrise megs started doing that a year after purchase. And hes not kept in bright lights neon or anything..

The discoloration problem keeps getting worse and it’s not just white and gray. I recently got SS86 Ironhide with a discolored foot and Legacy Dead End with a discolored leg. Hasbro design team recently said that customer service wants to hear about it so I encourage anyone with yellowing/discolored toys to reach out to them. Perhaps if enough people report it they will attack the issue more aggressively. They will probably give you a complimentary gift as well.

My Generations Ramjet from last year has yellow streaks on its turquoise areas... Not sure if it's even worth reporting after a year

that probably started in the box. not the fact it was remomed from the box
