I got Brainstorm back around Christmas and haven't messed with him much since. Didn't have any problems with paint or the head coming out. Then today I got him off the shelf and noticed the paint on Arcana's arm was coming off! He hasn't been touched in 2 months! Has anyone else had this problem any is there any way to prevent more from coming off?

I got my Generations Brainstorm in the mail yesterday, and had quite a few paint app issues. Arcana's turquoise coloured feet are already peeling sadly. Also on Brainstorm's right knee some of the turquoise paint is coming off. Not a huge drama for me either way as the knee issue is small and he's going to be in 'bot mode 99% of the time anyway, but it is a shame.

Also of note, I had one of the 'reissued' factory variants with the supposed head clearance fix; it's still a very snug fit and grey is showing on Arcana's helmet either side. Again, not a huge deal, but worth noting.

I don't have him, but what you're describing is standard fair for Hasbro paint, especially on parts that slide or scrape against others.

My Arcana not only has peeling paint, but every time I transform him, his legs pop out of his waist. Tightening the screw doesn't help either. I guess he will just stay in head mode.

Maybe some clear coat nail polish could help?
