Just put some elbow grease into it and turn it til it lines up. I did that with my P/CP and one of my retail figures. No harm will come of it.  

I assume no responsibility if you break your ish though.

Just got a shipping notice from USPS.

 

10 minutes, a screwdriver, and you can fix it the proper non-risky way..... a detailed how too is on the TFCC boards....

 

Got mine today without any shipping notice whatsoever! : )

 

okay, above i posted picture with my pcp with a faded bumper. fellow fans over in the ilinois sightings, at least 3 plus me have the same damage. anyone else?

 

I suppose I'll ask again, did the second run of figures have the same paint masking issues on Punch's face?

 

my P/CP also has the same faded bumper as yours. Its peculiar to note that my Botcon Breakdown & Universe Sideswipe have the same problem in almost the same spot.

 

Pic of the issue? Mine seems fine...

I don't think it is faded, I think it is where the piece was attached to the sprue which was obviously removed during assembly. I just think it is more noticeable due to the darker blue color.

Mine has the same thing. As does my Botcon Breakdown, Universe Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker.

 

Got mine today. Yay.

It had the issue with the back/chest not going all the way, but that's a pretty easy fix. Just undid the 5 screws on the bottom, adjusted the head as necessary and screwed it back into place.

Of course, mine also has the front bumper damage as well. Considering so many people have it, I'm going to assume it's an assembly thing, as fisch said. I'll just color it in myself, I guess. I've no plans to resell it anyway.

 

Comparison pics of the bumper fading. It's definitely an assembly thing.



Oh, yeah: mine just came a little while ago.

 

Got mine yesterday. It has that same thing on the bumper.
