Based on the ammount of complaints I'm seeing on the .org I can see Mattel going back on this. I'm surprised I had not noticed this before. I was told it started with spike-or. The only fig I have that it is noticable on is one of the snake men. With there QC record IDK how they could allow this to happen. The all mighty dollar trumps what any collector/ brand murchadiser thinks and knows what is right.
