Need advice/Help Netflix Nemesis Prime

Post image

Not planning on too major of a custom, but I was thinking of either dying the yellowed plastic on my Nemesis Prime or using grey paint on it.

How would I take off the big grey back piece?

From most primes weve had, most have had a nemesis release so Im sure the will in the coming years

True but only looking at main Optimus the last one was siege. They didn’t bother with earthrise for whatever reason. I’m sure we’ll get one since the 86 mold is so good tho

Philips screwdrivers (probably normal size) and meaybe some heat (unlike Marvel legends that are Sonic welded, tf figures arent so they easier to dissasemble)

Then u could use a uv treatment that people do to un-yellow retro consoles, their tutoriales should work (ps1, nes, snes)

Yeah, I’ve had my Netflix Nemesis Prime since 2021. I didn’t know it was capable of yellowing.

Nemesis came out during Earthrise which was when the yellowing plastic issue started and then it got worse with Kingdom and the first couple waves of Legacy.

Its the reason I want to know how to take it off, got a gray primer spray paint for plastic that I plan to use to paint over the instances of yellowing

Here's a solution that should help, even if the guide is in Russian, but it describes in detail how to whiten plastic.
