Yeah, me too. I had to put it back in the freezer to get it to change back from the ‘hot’ colour .
i bought it because it was a transporter, (Ihave a full-size vanagony),not because it was a colour changer. The hot grey is horrible. Perhaps it can live In the butter compartment in the fridge.
Nice livery! Matches the Best of World van from a couple years back. Kinda fun messing with the temperature, and seeing what it does to the color. I had an HW that I used to do all that stuff with--eventually, after a few years being left in a window, it got stuck in a yellowish color and never changed again.
My problem with Color Changers is the price. Honestly, the addition of thermochromic plastic/paint on a plastic body doesn't make it worth 4X the cost of its diecast bodied equivalent. In fact, the first issue of this casting I found was a Color Changers--I put it back, and would eventually find both variants of the mainline casting with and without the tools in the bed.
Interesting - never thought about putting one of those in the freezer or the fridge - like Cody though I tend not to buy them as I don't care for the higher price on them.
I have bought a few first think in the morning, and had them sit in the car in the summer heat, to find the changed colors during the day. So the freezer makes since.
I'll buy them if they're 'emergency vehicles'. Price is no object (to a degree) if the item is a fire truck, ambulance or police car and it's a Matchbox...
