There's some sort of white, waxy paper or plastic wrapping underneath her shirt that comes up to roughly the bottom portion of her neck that's apparently a b*tch to remove. Some had to take off the vest entirely to get it out. I attempted to remove it with tweezers, but it wasn't coming out, so I wondered if it was perhaps meant to be there to prevent staining or something. Like you said, HT has never seemed to care about staining before because this is the first time I've seen this kind of wrapping on a HT figure. It's not visible on mine though at all, so I just left it there.
