Hey fellow Freaks! I just wanted to share this discovery. THANKS to Toy Anxiety, I managed to get some of the newer, more accurate fabric ribbed bodysuits SS has been using of late for my earlier release clones to replace the vinyl body suits they came with. All of my clones were fine but when I performed the process of stripping my Ep 2 Phase 1 Clone Trooper, I noticed right away that his suit seemed to be marbling. The colour of the suit has turned red in spots, as you can see here. Note his left leg and body:
And upon inspecting my Clone armour, I do notice some reddish staining. Thankfully none of the stains can be seen on the outside of the armour, but you can see the staining inside:
I do notice some blackish staining showing through on the backs of the knees though:
I hope this staining doesn't show through in the years to come. If it does I guess I can just paint up the Clone to cover it. Just wanted my fellow SS Freaks to know. Keep an eye on your clones and switch out the vinyl bodysuit when you can!
But like I said, out of four clones, this was the first to show any signs of discolouration like this. Maybe I bought an 'off' figure? Or maybe all of the bodysuits will do this at some point and I got to them just in time?
