    An hour after being out in the dark each day? Or one hour period? Just for clarification lol

    Just to know the value of the glow, and God forbid you didn't build it at night or something. I suppose a choice on how you build means they weren't interchangeable after builds? 

    They look cool, would just stink if the glow did somehow feed off uv and regain, which I always had assumed it did. Pardon my ignorance to need it spelled out. :shy:

     

    The plastic pieces have a phosphor based additive.  Phosphor absorbs light energy from any bright source, such as sunlight or a lamp.  It then re-radiates the light, but the intensity fades out over time as it depletes the stored energy.  I think that fade out time was around an hour.

    These models were assembled with glue, so once assembled, the parts were not easily interchangeable.  So you had a choice.  Assemble them to glow, or assemble them to be painted to look more realistic.

    Fits perfectly! I'd argue conan 1 from 1970 is bronze  :)

    Did the ones you built glow in the dark as advertised?  Or very well? Sounds like that would have been cool back then :)

     

    The model kits came with glow in the dark head and hands.  Also included were the standard head and hands (non glowing), so you had a choice on how to build them.  They did glow well, but faded out over time, probably after an hour or so.
