Hi All,
A fair few of my hasbros are starting to change color - some arms are starting to turn an orange color - LOD, Duggan 2, and a few of the heads are starting to fade - 123, Nailz, Scott Steiner, Purple Razor, Yoko white, HBK black. I keep all my figures in glass cabinets in a room with double block out curtains but they seem to be changing more and more. Anyone else have this issue? Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

Were they ever exposed to direct sunlight?
What I've noticed over time is that they aren't built all that well. Even the ones I own which are MOC have stratches, paint missing or with paint running slightly etc...

I noticed the same thing with some of my ufc and ttl figures, the arms are a funny colour compared to the bodies.

I even put black plastic over the windows in 1 room I had them in for a while!! |

I too experienced this. I have a Bret Hart 1 MOC that this has happened too.

I've kept my moc hasbros that I got new at retail in a walk-in closet with no sunlight, then in a storage bin, and within the last couple of years some are displayed in zoloworld cases in a glass cabinet out of direct sunlight, and others that I don't have cases for are still in the bin. None have any discoloration. Could temperature effect them as well I wonder?

It's strange that it happens to some figures and not to others. The head of my Yokozuna (Red) has such a stark contrast to it's body now. There is little discolouration to the other figures in my collection though...
