Andre arrived with stains!!! WTF!!!

... and you're surprised by this?

I swear, some people feel they are owed everything perfect in life. It's a minor stain and hardly noticeable.

First post for me, but a long time reader.

This is the type of crap I was afraid was going to happen when the Legends went to Matty. The Rockers problem and the first Legend is going the way of MOTU. I was going to be done with the Legends line, but I thought I would give Matty one last chance. Havent recieved Rockers or Andre yet.

I dont know if any of you are MOTU collectors. But the first year was awful. Bent packages, two left or right feet, missing paint, paint smudges in package. I gave up on that line after the first 5-6 releases(which stinks, because there is some awesome toys out, but its not worth the headache). I kept up reading about it for over a year, and it seemed on going. Cant say for sure that it still happens, but I wouldnt doubt it. But I can say Digital River sucks.

The OP has a right to complain. Some may not care, some do. Im one of the ones that do. I get sick to my stomach reading on Hot Toy forums. Hot Toys range now from 150- to almost 300. And people still jump on others who get product that is messed up. I shouldnt have to fix my 260 dollar item myself.

This is the problem of online only, when you cant see what you are buying.

My Andre did show up with stains in the same exact spots. The ones on the arms and legs are hardly noticeable (as his pictures show) and the one on his chest a little larger, but when the singlet is up it covers it.

Really, this one isn't a big deal. The singlet isn't meant to be removed anyway.

Its barely noticeable and just a minor stains. I had a Legends 1 Ricky Steamboat with minor stains just like Adre too but i can live with that and move on.

Its just maybe different people with different taste.

But I hope it gets sorted out for you.

People don't understand that complaining is one of the best ways to make something better, and it helps EVERYone who stands to benefit in the end, not just the complainer.

Did the colonists roll over and pay the King's taxes? Did women resign themselves to the fact that only men should vote? Did blacks accept their standing as second class citizens? Did wrestling figure collectors concede that it was okay for a Jakks Scott Hall to be taller than a Kevin Nash? No, no, no and no. And what was the result of the complaining and the action? Positive results all around. Maybe the Jakks collectors didn't see the benefits, like the first generations that fought for freedom, but the ancestors did. If this guy bitches, and if enough people bitch, Mattel will take notice, like they did with Jakks scale issues.

Don't ever let someone tell you to just accept inferiority.

Its really nothing to get really upset about. Most mattel figures have stains on them Its because of bad paint jobs but If you need to just get a magic eraser and scrub at the stains they should go away very fast.

This is for all the people who say Hulk shouldnt complain.


If you all are fine with mattel sending you a damaged/stained product does that mean damages and stains are ok? Do you go buy food that comes in a damaged package? Do you buy clothing that is stained?

No you dont, so why should your standards be lowered on figures? Figures, which btw, you pay considerably more for.

dispute something like this is crazy. But, acetone can't remove this.
