Has anyone else had an issue with the paint on their Cody?
For some reason, the paint on the left knee joint has basically smeared off with ease, almost like when you apply acetone.
Has anyone else had this issue, or have I been unlucky with a defected figure?

Great so besides the poor distribution and wrong skin tones now there’s a paint quality issue. That’s a big one if the paint is just going to wipe off the figures.

Had some paint wear on the crotch piece too, doesn't help that that piece is moulded in gold plastic and it's affecting the blue side

I just went and put a clear varnish on all the painted parts (Faces, hair, tattoos, tights designs, Knee pads designs, Jericho’s jacket, Cody’s belt and their boot logos) on all my AEW figures as an extra safety measure seeing I looked at mine and one of my Cody’s did have paint wipe away and all he was doing was standing on a shelf. Here’s my two duplicates after putting the varnish on them.  I guess that’ll be the first thing I do when I get my two Hangman figures and an MJF. |

My Cody's knees are bare. When I adjust his leg I will have to find a new place to put my thumb..

Wow. Just tested mine out and yep. Paint faded a little bit. This whole line is a joke.

I haven't noticed any issues with the figures, but did notice paint loss on Kenny and Jericho's entrance gear where I was handling them.
Great looking figures, but let's really hope this is fixed moving forward. I've never seen anything like it with a figure.

My Cody knees are fine so far. Bravely risked test-rubbing the knees. Nothing came off.

Two thing have stood out for my extras that my kids play with:
1. Matt Jackson’s ponytail is extremely delicate.
And 2. My kids find the skin toned leg pegs entirely too hilarious.

I just took a look at mine and WOW! There’s barely anything left at all on his knees! They’re solid blue/gold and the pattern just look like a scuff mark or two on each knee. I had to look at a reference photo because I thought his knees were a solid color since I hadn’t noticed it faded off..
That’s crazy. Really sucks too as I love that attire.
