I know that sunlight and smoke can stain a toys white parts yellow, how bout light from a regular 40 or 60 watt bulb? If so how do you protect toys?

Light just makes the paint dull. Boring. Not shiny.

Catch my drift?

To be honest,ive been collecting since the day im born,theirs really only one way to save em.

put each figure after play in a zip lock bag. And put it in a tupperware bin by rubbermaid.

toys from the 80's were only desighned to last 10 years MAX before the plastic breaks down. 90's toys PR were desighned to last maximum 15 years. But depending on the elements you maybe fucked.

store in a dark cool dry spot at 65-70 degrees.

and remeber,for vacume sealed paint,NEVER use plastic like baggies for em......tissue paper is your friend.

Flourescent lights will cause damage aswell but it will take up to four times longer than standard lighting.

Everything suffers from light damage, it's the nature of the world.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I always keep the shades down in my room so they are safe from sunlight. Ill keep the lightbulb light as far away as i can i guess.

Just keep them away from sunlight, it ruins ur items. I used to have my collection of PR on the window cil(sp) and the sunlight faded the colors on the side of the Tsunami Cycles and it faded the back of my pink space ranger and Red WF ranger. The both look like they got tanned but it isn't a pretty site. Lightbulbs I dont know but I have a pretty strong lamp that will melt any thing if it's near that item for more that half an hour.
