    I just got mine from TCP and it did have the gray guns as well!

    but, did anyone else have these paint marks on the skirt or forearms? anyone know of a paint that matches so I could just touch it up?

    Have you tried removing them with something non aggressive like a cotton bud dipped in hot water? Sometimes it works.

    yea, i tried with 25% isopropanol as well but no luck. i don't want to try and use any stronger as it might strip the paint under the odd marks

    It may be a little more aggressive than you want to try but maybe use lighter fluid? If it's scuffs and not paint chips lighter fluid works wonders. I've even used this method on 80s figures so it shouldn't bother this figure since it's better plastic. Just use a little fluid on a q-tip and scrub as hard as you can.

    ah i can try that, will get some from a friend as i dont have lighter fluid on hand. issue is that on the skirt, it's actually scratched in a bit, so thinking I might need to strip all the paint, sand it, and repaint

    The plastic yes, the surface coating no as it was the bosses decision to have it coated and I don't know what paint the factory used.
