I was able to get a replacement.

However, the issue that still pisses me off is the staining. For some reason, either his shirt or his jacket causes blue/purple stains on the figure's body. Even if you replace his upper body with one from another retro cloth figure (which I did try), the clothes stained that one too. This was a widespread issue and NECA barely addressed it. Snake should have been a regular 7" figure, and because the retro sold so poorly we'll probably never see him made right.

After all that I gave up on the retro cloth figures, I've not purchased one since.

Well damn. That’s troubling to hear. I never opened my retro Snake. I need to inspect him more closely. Agree that he should have been a regular figure. I really have a hard time believing he wouldn’t sell. He such an iconic character.
