Vintage Star Wars Wampa

I have had this Star Wars Wampa for years and since I have had it, it has been yellowed. While looking on Youtube I found a page called Toy Polloi. I recommend checking it out.  He demonstrated how he he use Preoxide to unyellow figures. I figured I would try my hand at it and I would use the Wampa as my guinea pig. I made a trip to the locale Walmart to get 3 bottles of Peroxide. I put the Wampa in a clear Rubbermade container and pour the Peroxide in enough to cover the Wampa and then put it in a gallon Zip Loco bag and sat it out in the sun. I left it in the sun for 2 days. and I was impressed with the results. 

Before picture. The Wampa was really yellowed and even dirty. It has been washed many times and the it was stained. 



After picture. Its white. Well close enough for me. May do a few paint touch ups but i'm impressed.
