I posted it while back, when i stripped mine i found out there is no primer for any psylocke. No primer means nothing is bonding to the resin, meaning the paint is not bonded to the primer. So the paint directly to resin is not going to hold and will just flake off. if its not doing it now its not going to last in the long run.
Resin is a plastic, most paints wont stick to it and primer is needed for bonding. Of all the statues i stripped from all the companies, all of them have had a primer on them, wether its thick primer like bowen or thin primer coats like DC or SS. Moore tends to use a primer based paint thats super thick.
For psylocke, its a super thin skin paint onto resin, even the whole statue is not painted. they stopped at the boots and then painted blue paint directly to resin.
Even the base had no primer, just a think layer of gloss black paint onto resin.
Hope that helps understand why they are cracking.
