Ok so, this is a minor issue but I figured I'd give you guys a heads up about it...
I left the mask on my taker over night and throughout the day while I was at work. When I got in, I took the hat and mask off and noticed an impression of the number 2 on his forehead.
Weird, right? Well on the inside of the mask, there's a 2 printed. I guess this is code for the factory or something, idk but either way, it seems that leaving the mask on for an extended period of time will do this. This could have been bc the hat was also on, causing more pressure on the mask, but I'm not sure.
I don't think it's permanent, and it looks like it has faded a great deal already but in order to avoid it in the future, I recommend carefully slicing it off with an exacto knife. Since its a raised number 2, it was really easy to get the edge of the knife right in there and skin it off. just be careful you don't damage the mask or poke through it!
Hope this helps!

I actually don't have any, I'm sorry man. I soon as I noticed it I fixed it. I can certainly snap a pic of the fix though

It might of been a one off with yours, unless some one has another loose one where they can clarify this? Don't own one yet, but when I do I'll be keeping it MOC anyway.

Dang that sucks. Hopefully it does fade away. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't plan on having him wear the mask though

Honestly I'm getting a little tired of Mattel including all this awesome gear with the Elites that you don't dare ever use for fear of snapping, breaking, staining, or otherwise. The exacto knife fix isn't hard or terribly time consuming, but right along with washing t-shirts to get the dye out, it's just something you'd hope to not have to do for $20 already spent.
