Sanding it might scratch the paint. Try using a flesh covered paint touchup
This. I have no idea how the actual printing process for these faces works, but it may be the case that there isn't a layer of flesh-coloured paint underneath that hair overspray. Colour-match the skin to a good acrylic paint and grab a 00 sable brush.
So, I just received my Obi-Wan and he's got the mis-masked hair paint that "bleeds" down onto his forehead a bit. It's worse on the angry head.
I'm thinking of gluing a tiny bit of fine grit sandpaper to a toothpick and trying to clean it up (very very carefully). Any thoughts on this? Has anyone else attempted something like this with an SH fig? I don't want to ruin the figure but that paint really bothers me.[/QUOTE
I wouldn't use sandpaper that will scratch the plastic just try a q-tip with some acetone (nail polish salon formula without the added oils check "Ingredients" on bottle) and lightly wipe it away don't make the mistake of forgetting to squeeze the q-tip to remove excess 1st I've lost eye paint on a figure due to that oversight. Then wash the area with some dish soap then dry it and it should be ok.
I think trying to rub it off by any method is tricky, go too far with acetone and you will go through all the layers of the paint.
My advice would be to just paint over it with as closely matched skin tone paint as you can.
If Tamashii Nations announced that they'd license a new figure line which one would you want to have?
I'd go for Lord of the Rings.
That looks amazing! Wasn't his tunic all black though?
