The tiny spots are part of the design, I believe, to give the skin more depth. Some of yours are a tad more pronounced, but I doubt you'll be able to do anything to remove them. The scuff on the knee would be my only real complaint. Mine had a tiny scuff on her left arm/shoulder, but it wasn't enough for me to try to get a replacement, since the rest of her body was perfect.

Alcohol can take the paint clean off. Would not attempt. I speak from experience.

You are going to get a there is not a replacement that is different from what you have email for the spots because that’s intentional. That knee scratch is hard to see. My guess they will offer a credit or return for refund on that.

the scratch is more an issue than the dark spots here and there....just return it for an exchange because of the scratch....but there will always be the chance of gettinf a replacement that has more or different problems...

#truth

Even if it doesn't expose primer/resin below, it will change the topcoat/finish, resulting in a shiny or dull spot compared to the rest of the paint.

Don't ask me how I know
