    Took me almost a full second to realize that's the MP and you weren't referencing an original G1 Wheeljack toy

    Yellowing would actually look really appropriate on Exhaust, since whites yellow that much faster in a smoker's house.

    Actually looks kinda of cool and vintage. Sorry it yellowed like that but just my observation.

    Not my figure, just a pic I found so I've no idea how they stored their figure.

    Amazon had this for 1 day delivery. So I ordered him on Saturday afternoon and got him Sunday morning.... such a sweet feeling

    Almost as sweet as the all over white paint job. You don’t feel it in pictures but in hand it just screams high end collectible.

    75 plus free prime 1 day ship... what’s not to love
    Transformers Masterpiece Edition MP-20+ Wheeljack - Cartoon Version https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TT933P8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_EC7MDb8ECX77E


    I’ve been resisting the full toon look. But after a day with him i took out te01, prowl, downbeat, and put with mp 20. I ended up ordering prowl because my prowl is all reprolabled up. Then I started pulling decals off my Jazz

    Toon in the alt mode display. Detailed figures go in the alt mode case

    Wheeljack was the first + release I purchased, and he won me over. That paint job completely elevated the mold, doesn’t it?

    It’s because of how incredible Wheeljack+ is in person that I ordered Bluestreak+ and Smokescreen+, and I’m considering getting Prowl+ too. The only carbots I’m not considering getting + versions of are Sideswipe and Red Alert, as I'm pretty certain they’ll be getting a v2 release in the next few years.

    Probably incorrectly, but I just assumed prowl was fully painted white and bought him on reflex

    Wow, was he in direct sunlight? Somewhere really humid?

    So far my white MPs look fine (going right back to Prowl) but my Binaltech Meister has seen better days. It's crap to think that these toys really do have a shelf date and won't last perfectly until I have to pack them all up to move into a retirement home.

    Looks more like a bit of a mishap since it’s strongest on the left foot. Probably was stored mostly well but didn’t realise that part was getting hit.

    Just got one of these guys used from ebay and he's perfect, only thing he has is a nasty stress mark on one of his tail lights hand plates, the black parts. The piece doesn't seem to be bent but it has a pretty glaring white flash, is there a way to make it less noticeable or to make it disappear completely?

    Two known ways to remove white stress marks; heat or pressure ( depending on location of stress and size). Some have used fire (not recommended) or a hair dryer on it. Others just push on it hard with their finger nails, it will slowly fade. If it’s near a corner, try buffing it out with a fabric like your t-shirt.

    Here's a pic of it, I'll try the shirt thing but it seems pretty deep

    I've used water that has just gone off the boil and that totally removed the stress mark

    Does It works with clear plastic too? How much time the piece needs to stay in the water?
