Got a great Tony mei cape in today, really upgrades the figure, thanks mattinglymint23

I just got my figure some weeks ago and after opening I noticed some weird gold/brown under the blue mesh of the suit. Anyone encountered this before? Any idea what I can do to fix this of if I should try to get an exchange?

It's a pervasive design flaw issue with this figure that roughly 95% of them all suffer from in some capacity; some barely noticeable (but still present), some much worse than others. I believe it's residue from the glue that was used to glue the collar down to the suit.

Some pics that were posted a few months ago in the thread that were found on FB:

I uses tamiya acrylic paint to go over it

And After. I am going to use goldleaf on the belt later this week. Also here are the paints I used.

What paints did you use exactly?

I mixed them until got the right shade. It is quite dark. But the metallic blue looks great in natural light

Thank you!

Welcome. I hope it helps

Awesome fix! Does the mixing take away the metallic sheen from the blue?
