    Can I confirm if this issue is on all the metallic version? Mine has the exact same issues on both legs, I'm considering to purchase another one, but just want to make sure this isn't a common issue that's on all the metallic version.

    I think so, it seems all versions so far except the nemesis version.
    I can see it on my original, metallic and white versions. Not a big deal unless you are exceptionally anal and have super sight, since it's practically invisible !!

    Seems a few members here have confirmed it on the metallic version. Yeah its not super obvious, unless you are actively looking at it only will you notice it. Looks like a mould issue so im not surprise if the nemesis version has the same problem as well.

    Thanks. Yes, it's very minor on mine too, but I just can't un-see it after.

    Yeah it is pretty unfortunate, but MS-01X doesnt really have good paint qc to begin with so i try not to let it bother me too much. It's still an amazing figure tho and to me its the best MP Prime to date in terms of articulation and design.

    Good to know. I got a MS01X with ugly scratches on the legs and a blemished face plate, hopefully they'll compensate for it.

    Good job bud!

    The scratches on the legs are a mold issue.
    All versions of this have it.

    I just picked this guy up (metallic version) on eBay—looking forward to it! I have a WJ MP10, which is beautiful, but his scale is bothering me lately...

    I unfortunately got handed the X at tfcon instead of the regular version. My bad for not catching it at the time. Fortunately I have a prime shelf that I can work him into with his battle damage. I like him and he appears different enough to warrant a spot

    Hasbro Mp10 still holding onto his spot in the main display after I canceled my mp44 po 2 weeks ago and bought the wrong magic square prime.

    Reposting from the TE-01 thread, but here's some comparisons between MS-01B and TE-01B:

    nm sidebyside.jpg
    I think they're both fine looking figures, though as I've said before, I think MS-01 makes for a better Nemesis.

    Only for the hardcore. What else can you do with the faded red repaint?
