I am SO THRILLED! I followed a YouTube video on whitening yellowed white skin toned resin and even just two hours into it I can see a marked difference in my 2009/10 Luts MNF body. I can't wait to see how it looks when the 12 hours is up!
Sounds very promising! Would you share the link with us?
I suppose it goes without saying that this would require a new face-up and blushing. Man! I want to whiten Ivan up a bit, he's starting to get creamy, but I don't want to do anything to damage his body blushing and face-up. It's superb, done by Arrowchild, even down to painted veins. I think I'll just deal with him being a bit creamy. It's ok, it rhymes with dreamy. hahahaha
Yeah, I would hesitate with such specific body blushing. I am only whitening the body. This is the body that originally came with my 2007 ShuShu elf and I am most certainly not whitening her head - her perfect faceup is from Rumplestiltskin and I wouldn't even know how to locate the artist.
Here's the video I followed. Pretty straight forward. All totalled I probably soaked the MNF body for 17-18 hrs. It came out so clean that people in my local doll meet group were amazed when they saw it today - I even sold it to a friend so she could turn her Karsh into a girl.
If I dig them out again any time soon (not likely, lack of shelf space to display), I may have to try this on some of my old G1 Transformers. Quite a lot of those are badly yellowed. *Remembers once giving Scourge a bath in denture cleaner, but that didn't work*
I'm not sure how this process would work with non-resin plastic so take that into consideration. I'm not even sure how it would work with any skin tone other than white.

*nods* With me, that's all the more reason to find out! XD
I have a whole bin of stained, knockoff, mcdonalds, burned, etc assorted toys for experiment fodder. XD Literally. The non-doll ones (mostly mcdonalds or old action figures that belonged to my cousins once and are thus nearly destroyed - one of them was a highly destructive child) take up a box that I would estimate is 14 cubic feet of space.
Finding something in there that's suitably yellowed shouldn't be too hard.
