Yokozuna from the Flashback series does. I bought two for parts and they both had stains when I opened them.

I can't say for everyone else, but my Rikishi did not stain.

Rikishi shouldn't stain. Yokozuna FB series will stain but not nearly as bad as elite 15 for some reason? Oxy maximum strength spot remover and sunlight will lift the stains. There is another process to remove stains as well. Type staining on chase rude in the search engine and read that thread. It will talk you thru removal using both processes.

My Rikishi is perfectly fine. Only have had issues with the chase Rude at this point. It's awful too. I mean the figure is covered in stains.

Legends Martel is the ultimate skin stainer

I’ve always heard of taking all the cloth stuff off and putting it in a sock and washing it in the washer. That’s what I’ve done. All figures will stain over time with cloth goods on, I think it will stain faster if it’s in a hot room. All mine are in my room at nice cool air and I’ve rarely had stains besides the legends series I had , they’ve had some stains and small stains on others throughout the years

The robe of my Legends Iron Sheik never stained come to think about it.
Tito Santana's shirt was known to cause staining

Seems like Rikishi is the only one I haven't heard complaints about. I think it varies from figure to figure - I've owned both the E15 & FB1 Yokozuna, and neither of those had stains. It's definitely annoying though - Mattel should just pack the robes/jackets etc. off to the side on every release. |

The only WWE figure I've ever had stain was a Jakks GAB Torrie Wilson.
It's so dang frustrating when it happens though. You'd think by now they'd get the hang of that ish, after all, Mattel's been at this for 10 years for WWE alone. One would think they'd know how to make clothes that don't destroy a figure before you even open it. I don't recall ever having this problem with Barbie dolls back in the day. Then again, I was about four years old the last time I played with a Barbie doll, so I could be wrong. (Speaking of childhood toys, I remember SEVERAL of my TMNT figures being stained to hell and back straight out of the box. I have an April O'Neil who has splotches all over her jumpsuit.)

I bought my Legends Nikolai a while ago loose, and he was stained by his jacket. Bundy's T-shirt also stains. Aiden English was also mildly stained, and I've heard bad things about Elite 46 Rusev's jacket.
Retrofest Honky's jumpsuit can also stain a bit.

The frustrating thing is, packaging the robes to the side doesn’t really help anyone does it.
For loose collectors, ok you don’t have a figure stained from day one but you then don’t want to put the robe on the figure so what’s the point in having it?
Likewise for MOC collectors, packaging to the side doesn’t look as nice as the figure having the robe on.
So many great figures and robes but as a few have said in here, SURELY over 10 years they could find a way to avoid the staining? At least stop it happening so fast?
Seen someone say they wash theirs first, which I have considered doing but I’ve no idea if this really works or helps? Or whether it ruins the robe.

I do it by hand, and then use cold water to get rid of excess detergent - if the water starts running clear, then that's a good sign that the dye has been washed out. |
