Hello anyone found any solution for the yellowing of this Starscream?

Dear Primus, the cheap hollow plastic syndrome is even worst now!

Yellowing, not just in white plastic but also in different colors is just an “improvement” in plastic low quality! And we also have to consider the short time, those line are practically new and they have yellowing plastic issues!

I think they became aware of the yellowing quickly. there was a burst of figures during ER/Netflix/Selects production that had it, but as far as I know, SG starscream was the most recent, and I haven't heard of any Kingdom or later run figures with it (though we get the auto breaking tabs like on Blackarachnia and SS Hot Rod now

Yep, I've had the same issue with the joint plastic on mine too. Hope someone finds a solution targeted to this specific type of plastic

My SG Starscream, G2 Ramjet and Sandstorm all have yellowing sections regardless of what room of the house or open box or not. Same with some Megatrons and specifically Netflix Soundwave, he hurts the most as there isn't a replacement for him and he's such a prominent character. Soundwave also has yellowing in some of his blue parts, like the arm connections. I don't think the peroxide trick that works on G1 era plastics would work since it seems to be the plastic itself that's bad and not just it's exposure to sun or air.

Also back of legs..and they face the back of the shelf and get zero sunlight..

Something is wrong with the mixture of white plastic in these areas

Well for starters, the type of plastic used for those parts is different from the plastic used for the rest of the figure, as those are all joints.

Anyone else having weird yellowing issues with Starscream?

Yes!!!!
Just picked mine up today from the shelf..
WTF…it's not even in sunlight.
Both sections that attached the shoulder to thethe forearm are yellow.
So are the center sections on top of the shoulders… both

Yes, but it's very similar to the Classics Starscream design, which is why the term "outdated" was used.

It may be a new mold, but lacks articulation among other issues depending on who you ask.

Agreed. ER Scream might be a newer figure but his design philosophy was absolutely “inspired” by the Classics mold, where Siege has the more modern articulation and imo he feels better in hand than ER.

Glad they used the siege seeker mold. The Earthrise is so outdated with its engineering and it would not look good with this color scheme. Plus, he has swords. The ER mold cannot pull off the same poses siege can, and giving that mold a sword would feel like a slap in the face since it would rarely look good in anything more dynamic than an A stance.

Outdated? But the ER mold came after the Siege one?

Love this SG Starscream.
I cannot wait to see who is in the next batch of SG.
