This is good news. Did you use water/steam or just ironed it dry?

Yes, also ironed from the back side or front with a light towel between or something ?
I mean if it is material crush, then this all makes sense getting the material fibres in the right orientation again. Whether you use a bit of water, heat/steam or light rubbing.

I'd still be interested to know exactly how Brabus ironed his though. Details can help in these delicate cases.

Anyone who bought from a European based seller have an arrival date on these guys?
I don't want to pester my seller with questions anymore.

Is it the light, or the robes slightly different shades of red?

Cool. Then a bit of steaming could help as well. Even if mine will arrive spotless, will definitely steam their cape a bit. Same with Vader. I first did it with Iron Studios Vader, my girl's steamer did a wonderful job on the capes of this statue.
I'm also waiting for EU distributors to get them in stock, as well as Vader. I let know my distributor about the spot issues and they said will look into it carefully - and I already paid Vader and one of the Guards just to take my mind off of them.

Hey, can't say how Brabus exactly did it..but I just took a shot, and my three spots are now completely gone. Here's a step-by-step on how I did it:
1). I put my iron on medium/low cotton heat
2). Put some distilled water in it (filled
almost to the top line)
3). Set the steam setting right in
the middle
4). Placed a soft cotton t-shirt on the
backside of the robe where the spots
were
5). Pressed the iron down and gently moved
it around for a couple of seconds (no
actual steam button pressing)
6). Inspected..and spots are instantly gone
Further info:
I've had the iron for years. It's on the small side, inexpensive and got it from Walmart. Rival is the brand name.

Hi hoody,
Pretty much same as above.
Ironed it on the reverse side with a white cotton shirt over the top ( make sure this COMPLETELY covers the robe ) so two layers of shirt are over robe then gave it a quick steam iron all over except where the folds are under the neck and on the shoulder. The marks have completely gone and it hangs so much better. Gave my jedi luke cloak a quick blast at the same time and that now also looks much better.
Hope that helps

Actally, it has nothing to do with lighting.I took this shot while one was still wet.

Huge thanks to you guys for the ironing tips. It’s definitely alleviated my concerns for this figure. I have 2 on pre-order from different sellers, so I’ll see what the spot/crease situation is like.[emoji869]

According to two of my regular stops based in Belgium, it looks like the early release in Asia and the US will have no effect on EU availability. As i type, they are still expecting their stock early 2019 at best. Another one based in France doesn't expect anything on that front before spring. Hope that helps.
That old medi version is still a nice piece..

I would still guess they will be in stock earlier than expected. Early arrival impact Worldwide.
When Tarkin / Leia / Anakin came out i was given dates 2 - 3 months later than when they arrived in stock.
Tarkin - August (arrived May)
Leia - June (arrived April)
Anakin - Late September ( Arrived start of August)
I think the Guard will be in stock by December based on a 3 / 4 month turnaround from first reveal.
