That's not paint on those figures. That's a wide variety of different colored plastics. The darker blue on Arms Micron Optimus is simply a darker blue plastic rather than a dark blue paint.

Because they DON'T have paint, except in areas that are too small to reasonably put a sticker in, and the heads.

If I wanted this I'd get the micron alone and even then I wouldn't display it in it's weapon form.

I beg to differ. I have Skywarp, and he has TONS of paint. Everything in this picture that looks like paint IS paint except for the Decepticon insignia and the details on the tops of his wings that look gray:



He has tons of silver paint on his chest and crotch and that really nice metallic orange Takara used for the cockpit.

Not everything on the AM figures are stickers, and it isn't just small details that they painted either. I know, because I own most of them (and the Hasbro versions as well).
