the cards plastic casing is even showing signs of yellowing, where the ebay listing one is almost perfect (yes, there is a VERY slight coloring difference on the chest here too, but its almost negligable and could possibly just be due to the different plastic being used *always* being a hair off)
this means theres an outside factor speeding up the process for some figures. Most toys I've ever seen deal with this issue are improperly stored, being exposed to UV, heat, and/or harsh air environments.
