Title: Anybody else's Catrine's legs change color?
Post by: Aaryana on May 01, 2013, 06:11:18 PM: Catrine has just been hanging out on my shelf (not in direct sunlight) since I got her, but I noticed tonight that her lower legs are yellow-ish whereas her upper legs are still white. Her arms are similar, lower yellow and upper white.

My Sig Spectra looks really yellow compared to my PD one and my Cupid's head starts yellowing as well. I also keep them out of the sun. They're in constant shade.

Her torso and upper limbs fluoresce a bright green, while her tail, hands, and forearms are a soft purple, and her lower legs seem to be a marbled mixture of both. I'm thinking the plastic used on her lower legs wasn't mixed properly, so this may end up happening to more of them unfortunately.

Just one more thing to fret about! Add it to the list of "Plastic Problemz!"
