    Do you know if this is a problem with Walmart MP Skywarp?

    My Walmart Skywarp was displayed (out of the box) on the top shelf of a closet that had the opening to the attic about 10 inches right above him, and the A/C unit right below. I imagine it got the worst of both worlds in terms of humidity and temperature. However, nothing like this ever happened to mine.

    Only difference I can think of is that the closet was opened at least twice a day. Weird.

    I turn and dust all my displayed TFs with a big soft paint brush once every two months or so. My wife laughs at this but I've heard too many yellowing and dust-cake horror stories.

    I'm pretty sure that the Hasbro MP-Skywarp doesn't have a clear coat.

    To the original poster, you may try using a very mild abrasive on an affected spot that doesn't show in display. Something soft like a toothpaste or plastic polish to lightly remove the oxidation from the clear coat. Just be careful rub lightly. Don't sand away too much.
