So I ordered this in January it?s a target exclusive and now sold out.
Only options I have are refund or get the sticker off. Not sure if anyone else had this problem and was able to remove but any help is appreciated

Heat, like from a hair dryer, plus slow removal maybe.

I'm pretty sure, no matter what, it will be hard to get off clean.

If worse comes to worse and you can't remove the sticker without damaging the packaging...but you're still open to buying a new figure to replace it (and perhaps just keep your existing figure as a loose one), it's readily available on the Toys R Us website.

Re: Help target placed stickers on my figure package

There is a way to remove it but there's no guarantee it won't damage the card. Buy goo gone. Spray it on the sticker until it is wet. Leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour. Slowly attempt to peel the sticker off. If only one layer of the sticker comes off, spray it again until wet. Leave on for another 30-60. The rest should come off easily after that. Any remaining glue residue you can rub off with a cloth with some goo gone on it. Don't rub hard as it may rub the colors off. Like I said it may of may not damage the card. Try to only buy goo gone and not any other brand of adhesive remover as they are too strong and absolutely will ruin your card.(Source: Me. I've made that mistake myself)

Although if he's going to buy one to keep carded from TRU, he should wait until they send out that R Club 20 or 25% off coupon. I don't think those GGs are selling out super-fast at their normal MSRP.

Thanks everyone,

I managed to score one at TRU Thanks to this group.
I’ll return the ones to target.

I spoke to target about this and they were useless. No problem dea why it shipped this way but be aware if you’re collecting

Very true. When I saw the figure in person at a TRU store in Toronto last weekend, they had quite a few of them on the pegs.
