nice, but why not peroxide? sandpaper and a file would damage it would it not?

I heard those that used the peroxide have found the TFs they used it on have re-yellowed and are even worse now. Just a warning for those considering this option.

Sandpaper and a file???
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's a terrible solution: the yellowing is caused by exposure of plastic to UV-light: filing off the outer layer is just exposing a new layer of plastic to turn yellow! At least with peroxide, the same layer of plastic will turn yellow, without actual surface damage.

I've tried the peroxide on a G1 scourge, and it worked, but the places with stichers also got lighter too.

Ah yes... this old forum topic gives a bit more info (and proves I'm not making this up!)

I can't help but laugh at that. Maybe that's part of the reason he's so expensive. He's a very simple toy by the looks of things, I just need him to go with Darkwing, who's always been one of my favorites.

That looks immaculate, the Horrorcons were simply marvellous. I had both as a child and they are still in good working condition today, I was completely enamored by those as a kid.

Congratulations on an excellent purchase.

All the best
