Hey, I found Elite 32 in the UK for the first time today, I planned to pick up at two or three from the series (Bryan and Henry at least)
Like I'm sure most of you do, I examine each figure in detail before I buy after being shafted by Mattel's quality control (or lack of) many times
This series looks to have suffered quite badly from this, I saw several Rey's with paint spots on his torso, and I had to sift through many Bryan's before I found a decent one. I didn't look that closely at Sin Cara or Cody so I'm not sure if they had the same issue, although I remember even the prototype of Sin Cara had an appalling paint job on his mask
ANYWAY...
As soon a I saw Mark Henry I knew I wanted the figure, it looked fantastic, however, I noticed a bit of a paint scuff on the inside of his thighs. Never mind, I looked for another one...
After finding about ten of this figure, I realised every single one had the same issue. I realise a photo would have been great at this point, but alas. The only way I can describe it is a strange red paint scuff on both of his thighs, pretty much in the same place on both legs, on every figure
So the question is, has anyone else noticed this? Has anyone found one without this problem?
Normally I wouldn't dedicate a thread to it but the fact that ten of them all had the same problem I just thought it was a bit strange

believe its a machine that does every figure the same method one after the other so they probably missed the spot a little.. just use acetone and rub it off. a lot of times i unpack figures and see paint marks like some kid bashed it with another figure, its bad but can be fixed with acetone and cotton stick

That's exactly it! So many figures look like they've already been played with
I've tried the acetone thing on a few heads, I'd just be wary of trying it on this because it was more on his singlet than skin

just use tape to cover the part of the singlet so you wouldnt touch it underneath
