Yes, the paint around the black, costume neck piece is scraping off on mine too.
I've had mine about 2 weeks now and I've posed him a lot in that time.

Also, the gold on my utility belt has chipped off a little. Unfortunately it's right up front next to the buckle.

Thanks, mine didnt last 2 weeks only a couple of days , one more thing, are the heads supposed to come off easily? i just move mine a little and then it comes off , thats normal too?

Hi,

I just checked my figure, and the neck piece is made of black vinyl. I even went and rubbed some alcohol on it to verify. Are you sure something white colored didn't rub onto the neck piece? I suggest you take a Q-Tip and rub the inside of the neck piece to see if any paint comes off as a test of sorts.

If necessary you can spray paint the neck piece with Krylon's Fusion brand of paints....look for Flat Black. Fusion is formulated to stick onto plastics without chipping. Walmart sells Krylon Fusion spray paints. It's very durable stuff!

Ursus3978,

If you're willing to try, take a small amount of Rub and Buff (It's a colored wax paste) "European Gold color" on a Q-tip, to touch up the chipped paint on the belt. Rub and Buff can be found in art supply stores and craft stores such a Michael's.

This is Rub and Buff, the different colors are also sold individually:

Bobby,

Thanks for the info.
It's a tiny scuff, so I'll leave it be - for now.
It's not that noticable when you first look at it, but just KNOWING it's there bugs me.
If it gets worse, I'll consider trying to touch it up. Right now I don't want to take a chance making it look worse.
(I've done that before trying to fix figures).

Thanks again.

Thanks for all the info Bobby , all that movement made the neck rub off, it wasn't white it was kind of a lighter color black somewhat grayish ,but still thanks now im on my way to buy the spray paint

 

[MINIATURE-ART]

No problem guys!

Just make sure you let the paint dry for a few days to fully harden before attempting to replace the head.

[creecher]

I've got mine, so I haven't kept tabs on how available they are, but Big Bad Toy Store has him in stock for the same price. I don't see you get it any cheaper unless someone wants to off load there's.
