I think it’s color rubbed off from the red fabric they shipped the statues in and what must have been paint that wasn’t quite cured or painted last as there is no red on anything else like her white hair buns.

That was my first thought, but I see it with many different pictures posted by other collectors.

Dyed fabrics can easily transfer color especially if the material hasn't been sufficiently rinsed.

All likely with camera phones.
I guess it's possible the silicone molds were warped.
I've almost convinced myself that the front part of Millena 1/3's hair has been re-sculpted from promotion to production.

I got in touch with one of the guys at PCS. I think the plan is to make some new Alpha top's to replace any that were poorly made.
Sourcing the same blue material is proving difficult.
I'd have thought they could have obtained the material from where they obtain the original material?

It would have been nice if Sideshow CShad gave me the heads up, rather than reply once they have an update.

For the moment, it looks like the problem should be fixed at some point.
Maybe they will send out a new top along with the replacement hand.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Honestly I think the "pink" on her boots is actually the flesh tone of her skin paint shining through. My base has plenty of areas where it looks like they only gave it a once-over with the grey, and my boots look the same. Even the Alpha version's shoes has weak blue paint that allows the yellow to comes through...

That is the webbing, between index and middle finger. Itd be nice if there was a company statement, but for now I'd send the photo to PCS and request replacement just so you're on that list now.

Great to hear you got a great production piece overall.

So....just opened up my AP battle dress and yes i can confirm the later batch of chunners that shipped out do not have webbed fingers. I paid mine off pretty much when this first went up on PO at PCS and was wondering why i only got mine today...now i am thinking SSC waited for the later batches to come out before sending more.
