No big deal. It happens.


On another note, anyone know how I could fix this? My stealth suit iron man came out of box with some glaring QC issues. I was thinking about returning and ordering a new one but I heard this figure is known for QC issues and I'd hate to get stuck in a return loop where I gotta keep ordering until I get one with no problems. Not to mention I'd end up being down money due to shipping fee's.

I recall mine having the plasticizer issue where the pvc parts develop a powdery cover. Wipes away easily, but it may return.

Just buy a crap tonne of em at once and then return for free (Amazon incompatible/not useful)

Yeah I don't know if it is the paint or plastic but that version of the mold had a number of issues reported when released.


Mine is no great shakes, but I don't look at it too much since it is at the rear of the Iron Men display.

Yes mine had it too but I wiped most of it off before taking the picture. I think this mold is just old and worn out now. This is my 3rd time buying this mold and I can noticeably feel the difference in hand between the 80th, ai and stealth.

The mold doesn't really have an impact on plasticizers leaking. For instance, Hasbro's most overused mold Bucky-Cap, hasn't had a figure where plasticizers leak out (at least not yet).

The issue would be the type of plastic that Hasbro used. Stealth Iron Man feels noticeably gummier than 80th anniversary (I haven't bought A.I.)

AI Iron Man feels the best out of the 3 for sure followed by 80th. You're right about stealth suit. All the joints on mine are VERY gummy. It's the most gummy Hasbro figure I own.

I'm guessing they used cheaper plastic for Stealth to save costs as he had a ton of metallic paint and was apart of a wave that had quite a lot of new sculpts. Where as 80th was at a higher price point and before pre pandemic and AI Iron Man is mostly molded plastic so they didn't mind using better plastic for them.
