Maskman 5 DX white parts --- off white or sun damaged?

[shogunkid]

Hi, I have a pretty used Maskman 5 DX and wondered if the shield and white plastic on the back torso (connects to the wheels) is really an off-white or if mine is sun damaged.

Some parts like the white "shoulder pads" and white pieces in the middle of the arms are really white and not off-white. Maybe its different plastic composition and didn't get sun damaged or were the off white parts originally off-white?

Thanks!

Sometimes white plastic can discolor for no reason. Check the gallery on the main RJ website and also look on eBay for deadstock examples to compare.

Thanks, its difficult to say... on RJ website the parts look more white than off-white but there isn't a good photo of the parts I'm looking at. The few loose ones on ebay also seem to have this cream/tan/off-white plastic color on the shield and back. Its such an ugly color I can't imagine it was supposed to be that way originally...
