So I didn't notice this while buying my Iceberg at the con, but there's some horizontal purple lines across the GI Joe logo near the top.
Anyone else get something like this? You can just make out the pink/purply lines. I can't really notice them from about 3 feet away... Then on the back there seems to be weird wear spots on the filecard: So, anyone else get something similar? I was hoping to sell it (since I'll be getting a bagged one in a couple of weeks) but not sure how this might affect the value... |

Just looks like a bad print job. It shouldn't streak like that, though. But the card is the least of that figure's problems.
The Club's cards are slightly-less-quality-to-considerably-less-quality, depending on which figure, than non-Club figures produced in larger numbers by Hasbro. Usually it's the card stock, but a few have had issues that I noticed. I work with the print industry, btw, which is why I notice stuff like that. I'm not just some yahoo spouting about quality control. |

Glad to know it is for sure a printing issue. I was worried it rubbed on something in the bag I carried it in or something.
So, am I the only lucky soul with this variant? ;) |

Poor color correction going on there but odd since the back doesn't seem to suffer from the same problem. Sorry you got a bunk card...! |

What i don't get is why the club doesn't give the card to subscribers. I guess it costs to much have them mailed out carded than loose.

Just a printing error on the card. Nothing to get bent out of shape about. It happens.
I'll throw my designer hat into the ring as well. I've designed packaging for major international brands and have seen plenty of print issues on final product on store shelves. It happens (especially out of China.) For the record, mine does not have the print issue.
