On ebay recently, I've seen a lot of green kenner ed 260 figures, yet ones new in the box are grey, any explanation for grey plastic turning a army green over time?

Here's the normal grey one: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Kenner-1988-ROBOCOP-ED-209-ED-260-Toy-Robo-Caps-H41-/00/s/MTEyMlgxMjU3/z/3TsAAMXQxzZRbpYG/$T2eC16h,!)cE9s4Pvm88BRbpYGmbFQ~~60_35.JPG

Then here's one that has randomly turned green: http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mJWTN5vMO3IxoP32Hv4F88Q.jpg

Any reasonable Explanation For Why He Has Turned Green Overtime?[/img]

They might have been a special army green varient of it.

OR

Same reason why SNESs and Dreamcasts can turn piss yellow - exposure to sunlight/real life.

Mine is a little green as well. The plastic was molded in color and over time they naturally discolor due to UV exposure. It tends to be yellowish in color and when you mix that with the already bluish plastic you get green. You can read more about that here:
