    According to TFWiki, the 2008 reissues had this problem.

    Unfortunately, looking at my MP-01, the only way to fix it would be swapping out that entire panel. Best bet would be finding a parts figure from that mold (example) and painting the part if it doesn't match.

    Thanks, but that sounds like too much work. I had NO clue that the Re-release has that issue. FUCK this. Wish I could've done more research. ;(

    I'm thinking you might be able to gently pry them off and re-glue them in place. It's been a while since I had the MP-01 mold, though. It might leave a small pry mark, but you could possibly buff most of that out before reassembly.
