Do Minifigures Fade Over Time?
Minifigures can fade if exposed to long-term direct sunlight, but kept out of UV light they hold their color for years.
Minifigures can fade, but only with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong UV light. The ultraviolet rays gradually break down the pigments in the plastic and printing, which is what causes yellowing or washed-out colors over months and years near a sunny window.
Kept out of direct sunlight — in a cabinet, a UV-protected case, or simply away from windows — figures hold their color for a very long time. An enclosed display case is the easiest safeguard. Browse display cases to protect your figures from fading.
