Just because we don't know how to fix burn right now, doesn't mean someone won't figure it out in the future - every technique is the fruit of research, trial and error, or happy accident.
Maybe the tanning is due to chemical reactions rather than the sun? The sun could make it worse, yet not be the cause. I had a Quackers who tanned over the years despite not being put in sunlight. Very frustrating. She was a creamy white, like Gingerbread . . . Don't know if there's any connection.

Don't know if there's any connection.I imagine you weren't Cracker's first owner?Does anyone know what smoke damage might do? Say this little girl's parents or someone smoked in the house and years later it started affecting the plastic? Because chemicals that came in contact with Gingie would have eaten at her eye iridescence.
I think with some of these white ponies, though, it's just something about the plastic. Like once I won an eBay auction for a Starshine who IMO had most likely been opened from being MOC by a collector. She came with her card + bubble (still attached, except the side that was eased up to let her out and her hair just had that "unbrushed" look, if you know what I'm talking about. Not a speck of dirt or a mark anywhere on that pony . . . but, sadly, she had parts that were changing from cream to tan. (Especially around her symbols.)I mean, I can't guarantee she was a previous MOC, but I REALLY strongly feel that she was.
My daughter's Chief came to us reeking of cigarette smoke. He has this big, ugly brown patch on his body, that my boyfriend said was from nicotine staining. Otherwise he would have been minty white. It has faded some and we got rid of the smoke smell, thankfully before Christmas.

Now that I've been searching, I only have seen a few white Gingerbreads.Quote from: Leave a WhisperMy daughter's Chief came to us reeking of cigarette smoke.

I'm thinking Gingerbread isn't worth getting after all. What a shame, I really love her.
