Nice Mantles and Brooklyn figures, guys! I have found that when I pick these up, sometimes they will be a bit yellower than some of the others. I too have generally chalked it up to either sunlight or a past life in the house of a smoker. Assuming they were standing up, I would guess that the bottom of the base would be a little whiter, but looking at a few of the off-white ones I have around, they are still a little yellow on the bottom as well. Could be a different mix of the plastic that yellows a bit as they age. Fred is the man when it comes to Hartlands, and I know they seem to follow a similar pattern, and have heard that attributed to sunlight/ambient light, smoke, or the plastic used, but maybe Fred can shed some light (no pun intended) on the subject.

That being said, the off-white Mantle looks pretty nice, and the facial features seem to stand out a bit better in that shade.
