[Mr. EcKo]

:O, omg, i can't believe I just discovered this thread now.... ahh, I need to get in on this! Where are people ordering these figures from?!

Welcome to the party Jack.
Amazon
eBay.

The prices are already skyrocketing on these you can still pre-order them at bbts right now

 

[Mr. EcKo]

But in reality Donnie had chin spots. Just look at the sewer scene when him and Mikey are waiting for the pizza.

You know the more I look at that photo ,the chin spots are not chin spots.

they are the reflection shadow of the sewer grate or the grate from the street above him , cuz you can see the Shadow on his nose area .
follow that shadow down and that's what you see , the so-called " black spots "

I think Neca has screwed up on that unless somebody else has a photo that shows it other than that one above

Whatever the case I'm glad my figure doesn't have them on his chin, they look silly.

You got lucky buddy.
I'm betting we can use rubbing alcohol to remove the spots like on the Terminator figures with the orange Goo episode

I tried this. No luck. Rubbed more green off than black.

I think it was more about how NECA did those chin spots than "if" they were there or not on the costume.

I had the original and sold it, mine had five big black blotches running in a line from the left side of his
chin area to the right. Did not even notice at first, but the more you look at the face paint, the more they stand out.

Since Raph has none of that going on, I am guessing NECA noticed it and did not like it, so the later batch
of Donnie figures have it removed.

the easy fix is to pick up a few shades of green acrylic from michaels... make a little mix that closely matches the base color and dry brush them out. it'll only cost you a couple bucks for the paint and super easy to do.

Too even and they look silly. Uneven and they still look silly. It was best just to leave them off.

I guess I lucked out and only have three chin spots not as bad as I have seen other peoples.... If they would of painted it for mass production like the proto that would of been perfect like they did with Raph.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I also have the spots, but they only show up in bright lights.
