I've been looking for this figure at retail for almost 6 months now, finally found one last night and marked out!
However after opening him i noticed that his arms from the shoulders down were all black! Literally there was more dye than there was skin color. His tights and ankles were also stained pretty bad.
How can stuff like this happen at the $18 price point and come from the biggest toy company in the world.
Especially considering that this is nothing new. Mattel refuses to fix anything! E3 Christian, DM Bret, LE Andre, all of them suffered from not having the loose dye washed out of the gear.
But again, Mattel refuses to do right by us and correct this problem or just remove cloth items altogether, which i would love.
I've lost my patience with Mattel, i'm literally having to return/exchange 50 percent of what i buy from their WWE line.
I got an E16 Punk last week and the deco on the trunks was terrible, smudged to hell.
Anyone else have the Yoko problems or any other quality control issues?

I agree tho, mattel product control has been terrible. A lot of the figs I bought in the past have had stains, marks, sloppy paint jobs and OMG THOSE DAMN LOOSE ANKLE JOINTS!!!!!!

I hate returning a figure i've wanted for months because the #1 toy company in the world can't give us clean smooth paint ups on their $18 price point toys.

My Yokos stains are hardly even visible. I hate hearing all these stories about how some of your figures arms are completely black. And KidCollector, you've got to post a pic of that Yoko when you finally open it. The body will probably look more fitting for a Viscera figure haha!

I'm not sure why people are annoyed by this topic. It needs to be fixed by Mattel asap. Why are Mattel's paint apps and quality control so bad? The molds are fantastic but as soon as it goes overseas, they ing ruin it! I wish things could be done in the states with time and effort.

LoL. This thread made me open the Yoko for inspection. His arms are badly stained but everything else is stainless. That's not the problem though. His left arm is so loose, it doesn't stay in place. WTF? That's horrible. It's a birthday gift for my son, which is why it hasn't been opened.

I don't have any issues with paint aps on Mattel figure. I find them to be one of the better mass produced toy companies. But like I said in another thread anyone who got/gets Yoko at mass retail will have a stained figure. I'd say only the people who got theirs from RSC first shipment and opened and removed the robe right away have stainless Yoko's. Anyone else the robes would have had too much time to stain.

I feel your pain, mine had deep thick black stains all over his arms and a few on the legs. After alot of rubbing with nail polish then letting it sit with turtle car wax to get rid of the ghosting from the nail polich it looks ok but you can still see a very faint black.
Anyone know what figure has a matching skin tone to Yoko? maybe I can just switch arms
