Semi-stupid Yellowing Question...

Just wondering a little something about that action fiigure hating death light. I know that direct sunlight is a killer, i'm curious does light from the outdoors in general have the same effect? I mean... let's say its a completely cloudy day etc, no sun out but theres still daylight...same deal?

I think so.
Something about the UV which goes through clouds.

Re: Semi-stupid Yellowing Question...

Thanks a lot guys...while on the topic, does anyone know exactly how much exposure to the sun it takes exactly to really have an effect? Are flashes here and there that bad or will it add up over time?

i think it'll add up over time, but with flashes it will be as long time

Re: Semi-stupid Yellowing Question...

Sooner or later, your figures are either going to rust, discolour, or otherwise be ravaged by time. But in terms of how long its going to take, if you smoke in your house, it'll be sooner. If you leave them in direct sunlight, it'll be sooner. But if you're asking can you take them outside every once in a while to clean, transport, or play with, a few minutes or hours of sunlight won't make much of a difference if they're stored out of sunlight differently.

And a cloudy day won't be nearly as bad as a bright sunny day for them.
