    My Studio Series Scrapmetal suffers from severe paint chipping all around the figure.

    My Generations Warpath is missing a gold paint app on his left shoulder.

    My MP Frenzy has 2 left piledrivers + guns.

    My Masterpiece Bluestreak had a few flaws out of the box. The biggest issue involved scratched paint on the inside part of the leg just below the knee. It looked like someone took a Dremel disc to it. I lightly sanded (fine grit) the scratched up paint and buffed as much of it as I could. Thankfully, the plastic underneath is also blue. There's not much that remains of the blemish aside from some pitting in the plastic. There's also a white splotch on the front of the waist. Can't really do anything about that outside of painting over it since it's in the plastic itself.

    Titans Return Megatron and Galvatron have unpainted faces and the grey plastic drained the character and life from them.

    Oh wait, that's every release of those toys.

    My Generations Skrapnel has 2 left thighs, doesn't really affect transformation too much. Was gonna swap him out when he was rereleased in POTP but never got around to doing it.

    image.jpg Something else I just noticed... My Siege Optimus now has two small scratches in the white stripe in truck mode.

    No one will notice this but now it’s all I can see

    Masterpiece Wheeljack - Faction symbol is just a bit crooked. Had him for over a year before I noticed it. Now I can't unsee it.

    My Siege Soundblaster has a crack on the bottom of the cassette door that's only visible from the inside.

    Whenever there is a dot of paint on something such as a figure's head, it can easily be removed by using an exacto/hobby knife and very gently scrape at it, until it is gradually scraped off.

    Sixgun's head is red plastic, so you don't have to worry about accidentally scraping off any red. Just the white dot will come off. And I'm guessing that Mirage's head is blue plastic, so only the silver would come off.

    My MPM Barricade was missing one of the “to punish and enslave” tampons on one side of the car.

    I have an ultimate optimus. The one where the trailer turns into wings. Many years ago my boy yeeted that sucker across the room. Snapped off a panel that cant be glued. Displays fine. Eats me inside.


    Lucky to be alive, that boy.

    Swapped UW Defensors hip with POTP Infernos when upgrading him with the c+ customs kit. It’s the same colour but I’ll always know

    My potp punch has a paint mark on his face. And a scuff mark on the bottom of his mouthplate. Thankfully his counterpunch face is fine.
