I have 6 Crusaders and 6 Black Falcons like this. Very irritating now. I
always assumed they faded because I used to make the guys "swim" in sinks,
paddling pools etc as a child, and never dried off the water, stupid kid as
I was. I usually use these torsos for soldiers who have old, poor quality
armour like peasant archers etc. Alternatively, I give the faded torso
Crusaders the blue lion crusader shields, as these don't really match the
lion Crusader torsos, which have gold lions. Or, you could use the faded
tosos for armour for zombie soldiers, razed from the dead, who have rusty
faded armour. If you have extra skeleton heads, you could put those on
instead of the standard minifig heads, for undead dudes.
cheers
