Has anyone gotten this figure without any stains? I've purchased 2 now and they've both had marks all over the figure.
What the hell I thought Mattel fixed this issue.

What material is his jacket made of? If it's a leathery material it shouldn't do that should it?

Someone on ig @mattelelite4life got 2 aswell and he posted on ig that they are stained. I bet 90% of Rusev's are going to be stained, it should of been in the box without the coat

I returned it to amazon. Really like this fig but not worth it. Just gonna grab the Walmart one again since I sold it & intended on keeping the e46.

Would a magic eraser not help? I know Ive tried it on old figures like Dusty and Streamboat, but I wonder if its fresh enough to take some off.

Acetone, problem solved lol These aren't just marks that can be removed with acetone. The dye actually seeps into the plastic and it can't be removed. It goes deep into the plastic on the figures arms. In suprised to see staining again. I thought they'd swapped material or something to stop this. Haven't seen any for awhile on the newer figs. This is why I never display any of my figures with soft goods on them. |

This is why I never display any of my figures with soft goods on them. acetone fixed mine. Then either it wasn't staining from cloth more like a scuff mark or it was in the very early stages and got lucky, trust me nothing removes that crap. I had a stained Yokozuna and I tried everything from acetone to nail varnish remover and nothing shifted it, then I read on here from others that it's pretty much ruined. It's a big reason why Mattel started packing the cloth shirts separate and not actually on the figure in the packaging. I actually did a little experiment on a stained figure part once and I kept cutting away a slither of a layer at a time to see how far it had seeped into the plastic and it went very deep. Try finding a Legends Martel or Steamboat without any staining, near impossible. |
