Sun Damage?

I have a few statutes (Bowen/Koto) that I keep on my desk. For a few hours a day they get a decent amount of sun.

Should I move them out of the light? Is there really a chance of it doing sun damage?

Yes.

Also, plasic statues (Kotos) will warp/melt.

They most likely have some damage already but you just do not notice.

This too. By the time a person notices, it's already too late.

These three busts/statues were exposed to sunlight or displayed under hot lights.

As others have observed, I also suggest sticking with blackout curtains and LED lights. UV coating will still allow sunlight into the room, thus discoloring statues (albeit gradually).

Well, they've only been displayed for two weeks now but I've already moved them. Thanks for the help.
