Anomalous Greens

Anomalous Greens

Here we take a look at greens and the 'anomalous effect' that only seems to be present in this colour variant.

A quote from Cheaptoyman:

During my intense global searches for "Novo Bonbon issued" Cheap Toys I've discovered Canadian collectors, dealers (and everyday people) who oftentimes "ask questions" and show great interest in the 2nd Series figures. The most common question I get asked by Canadian Cheap Toy owners is "Why does the Green color fade or gradate on my Green figures?" I've never given a firm response to this question...only hypothetical guesses. My theory is that the "green dye" used in the 2nd Series greens is susceptible to changes. I've noticed that the gradation is quite subtle in some 2nd Greens...with many 2nd Series Greens also appearing as the solid green (like the Green Dot I received from Dr. Soups).

Could this be a case of the figures fading quicker than other colours ? Or when the figures were produced at various times the Green Dye used was at different levels at different times ?

Here is a Green Mouth Phil example owned by a collector from Ontario...Check out the differences in his front and back hues...the collector also informed me that this is how the figure appeared when it was pulled from the pack...

Yet taking a look at this example of a Distorted Dot she seems to be what i would call a perfect Green

So there we have it, an anomalous effect ? A fading effect ? or just a production error ? You can deciede
