If you have vinyl stickers inside the bag with your sealed toys, you might want to remove the stickers... just a word of warning. It makes sense: vinyl sticker with vinyl ink + vinyl toy = bonding can occur. You can see the missing paint on the head... and where it transfered to the vinyl sticker. Ouchy!

That sucks but that small spot can easily be repared to look like nothing happened. |

I suspect you are right... It looks to be straight-up silver, not a weirdo mix. Should be able to figure a cover-up. Advice? Also, I think it MAY have had other circumstances involved. Possibilities: 1.) it's an older figure. More time in the bag may have lead to this. 2.) it may have been in the bottom of a box with other toys on top. That slight pressure over time could have done this: constant contact + pressue = bonding. 3.) this occured before it left Japan, a couple years back, right off the line. Shite occurs. Am I still smiling that I scored a Red wing? Yes. Yes I am. The quest narrows! |

Advise... Silver V-color and an airbrush. Then all will be good with the world |

I have an airbrush somewhere... now i guess I need to order some V-color... unless someone here has a spare to sell. Or a partially used bottle even. Doesn't look like I'll need too much paint. |

Doesn't look like I'll need too much paint. Well if you decide to do it yourself make sure you thin the paint 50% with v-color thinner and practice on something else first. Good luck. |
