ok, cool..thats good to know. did you look and see if the armpits or spine is doing the same on yours? mine was just the feet yellowing, but I can tell that the other metal parts are KINDA doing the same..I just dont know how the hell I would "treat" all those parts...NIGHTMARE. Mabye I will just clean them 1st and let that ride and see
Ok, Heres what I did, Used some Gel toothpaste (old model builders trick) to polish the metal back to a high chrome sheen. Covered every part of the chrome that I could see with 2 light coats of Future. That was a couple hours ago, The future has since dried, and the gloss and luster is brilliant. I would almost say better than when I got it. Hope that lasts
I bought MP-05 about 2 years ago and never opened it, for fear of breaking tabs or something. I wonder if I opened it, if the cosmic rust would be there... Thanks for this info, Snake eyes, Trailbreaker, and igniz! I am afraid to look, but if there is rust, it sounds like there are a few good options.
If I were you, I would at least open it and look. If its NOT corroded, then toss in a tiny bag of dissicant that come in most products..at least that would stop it from ever starting. You NEVER opened MP-05?!!??!? That thing is sick kick ass dude...
I know- seems stupid to me too! I started reading about people having a hard time transforming it, breaking tabs, getting frustrated and never wanting to try to transform it again, and then I started reading about the cosmic rust, and then I guess I just got too scared to even touch the thing! The desiccant is a good idea! Maybe it's finally time to crack that bad boy open.
I opened mine when 1st purchase to transform him, then put him back in the box for about 2 -3 years. Mine was covered in rust pretty badly. Glad I sold him, he's good with the add on kit to have in gun mode but bot mode is a joke imo. Replaced him with Hegemon haven't regretted it at all.
