Can Sunlight Damage Minifigures?

Yes — prolonged direct sunlight can yellow and fade minifigures over time, so keep them out of UV light or behind glass.


Yes — prolonged direct sunlight can damage minifigures. The UV rays gradually break down the plastic's pigments, causing colors to yellow and printed detail to fade over months and years. White and light-colored figures show this discoloration the most.

The fix is simple: keep figures out of direct sun by displaying them away from windows or inside an enclosed case. A closed display case also keeps off dust at the same time. Browse display cases to shield your figures from sunlight.
