So a couple months ago, I purchased a Classic Clash 2 pack from my local TrU. The very first time that I put Storm Shadow's swords in his backpack, the paint peeled away from both of them. The fit was very tight and I was careful. Also Spirit's lower left leg had alot of paint scratched off of it just getting him out of the package. I ordered another set from TrU online and got it today. Again, there is paint scratching on Spirit's lower left leg and I was able to easily rub paint off of one of Storm Shadow's swords with my finger. I have seen pics and reviews on this set with no issues. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it an issue with this particular set, or just mine? That would be my luck.

Might just be your set. Haven't had any problems like that with mine.

Yeah, maybe. Like I said, I've seen pics and seen reviews where this was not an issue. I have seen a couple used SS on ebay with paint missing from swords. Also, I got two different sets bought in different times from different stores having the exact same problems in the exact same spots. There has to be more to it than that I would think. I'm almost afraid to buy another set for fear that I will have the same problem; however, I need a figure that I can put his swords in his holders (where they are supposed to go) without ruining them.

I just pulled out my Storm Shadow and Spirit from the Classic Clash set. No issues here. I did have issues with the Storm Shadow, and the wrist joints all painted closed. I had to open up his articulation by carefully cutting the paint with a blade.

I don't have the Classic Clash Storm-Shadow myself but I do know someone who has one and he has had the exact same problem with the swords that you described. IIRC, he bought his figure online. So it's not just you.

My Classic clash is fine BUT. I picked up the Zartan pack and the paint on his shoulders flaked off the first time I had him put his arms over his head. I ended up repainting them matte black like the vintage figure which ended up being an improvement but it shouldn't have happened. So I picked up another set this last weekend and BPOTH Wrists snapped off from being stuck when I tried to move them, the plastic on the arms ( and legs for that matter) were unbelievably flimsy and just attempting to unstick them sheered both off at the peg. So I traded that set back to TRU and haven't risked even playing with the 3rd one yet. So the paint issues are not uncommon and in addition there are structural issues.. Its a shame because I really like this 50th stuff.

Here are pics incase anyone wanted to see what's going on. This is the 2nd one that did this. I exchanged it for a 3rd one that thankfully is ok so far. This is what happened the very first time that I put his swords in the backpack. Spirits leg paint would rub off at the slightest touch and was a bit tacky.

I was intending to army-build this Storm Shadow, but the paint apps on all of them are so terrible that I have only bought one two-pack. The eyes are always out of whack. Also, every single 50th Zartan I have seen has had issues with the eye black area. I have yet to find a perfect one, but a few have been acceptable. I don't really understand this shit. You rarely see these issues with Star Wars figures (except for the WM 3 3/4" Black Series FO Storm Trooper and Poe).
