Quality of plastic finish in older vs. newer torsos?
Legogal posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion
During the past week while inspecting all of my Collectible Minifigure Series figures built once and stored in containers, it appears that the quality of the plain torso finish compares poorly with that of earlier (pre-CMS) torsos. The newer figure finish is more of a matte surface, not as smooth and shiny as earlier torsos. And the newer ones seem to have more annoying spots on them several years after they were built. Has anyone compared plain, unprinted CMS torsos with earlier ones and noticed this? I have tried buffing the spots out of the CMS torsos, but the finish is not as uniform and shiny as many of the pre-CMS torsos, which seem to retain their shiny, unspotted finish even twenty or more years later. It is disappointing to say the least if this is a common problem with CMS torsos because we expect them retain their new, shiny look if they are not played with and put away right after they are built. (It is difficult to get decent photos to compare the finish of pre-CMS with CMS torsos.) Your experience with this issue?
