All my figures are loose and I handle them and transform them quite regularly, so I'm obviously not obsessive about keeping things mint. That being said, I'm quite skeptical about the quality of the movie figures (as much as I like them) being even reasonably sustainable. I've already joined in on posts about other problems with movie figure automorph features and plastic stress marks; for example, the automorph features on the feet of my Leader-class Optimus Prime are so weak now that they won't keep the toes extended.
Recently, I've been seeing some worrying signs of paint rub-off. My Real Gear Spyshot is starting to flake in places, and the "Police" decal on my Barricade is starting to rub off (see picture).
Anyone else noticing the paint starting to degrade from handling either in odd places for from places where there is sustained contact with your hands? Do you think this is normal or are you worried?
