I thought that too - crying like she’s from the island of misfit toys and isn’t the pretty one

Is this something that could be solved by a pink or magic eraser? I've never tried it, but many people swear by them for these situations.

She clearly made it past QC bc I?m sure they just spot check?hoping the warehouse has another body to give me because this issue jusy doesnt ?rub off? with an eraser.

It?s killing me because I have loved this statue from the beginning and in hand it?s a stunner. Just as fantastic as I hoped it would be. But I unwrapped her and the first thing I saw were the drips on her face, I can?t lie that I was so damn sad. Like why NOW did I have to get the dud?! I had flawless Starfire and Catwoman, but my beloved Ivy comes with issues?! Ugh.
You could also try a wet cotton swab (water). Slight more aggressive would be rubbing alcohol cotton swab. I've used both successfully. You just have to go slowly and carefully (start with almost no pressure), so as not remove the surface finish of the paint, creating a "shiny" spot.

Very tempting to get a second one and find somebody to paint me up a variant.

Dang. It?s times like these that I wish I knew for certain that Tweeterhead was going to release a green skin variant as this deal is tempting.

I'm doubtful but it doesn't hurt to contact their support and try.
