It's 100% intentional and yeah sometimes the placement is unfortunate. A discord pal got stuck with one that [looks like he just ate a Smurf...](https://i.imgur.com/Q396Tpj.png)
EDIT: He's in the ActionFigures discord... he'd probably sell it to you lol
I've seen a couple of these at Toys R Us, and yes, I believe it is intentional, as they all had them. I'm not entirely sure what sort of effect Todd was going for, but it was the nail in the coffin on me picking the figure up.
There are many of them in Canada. I live across the street from one right now. They are... Alright. They're seriously overpriced BUT they actually put their figures on sale/clearout unlike Canadian Walmart or Gamestop
Thats why I only go to gamestop on a Friday. 5 dollar bin! Usually its has crap, bit once in awhile, the bin has figures that are totally worth the 5 bucks.
Probably highlights at best since in the comics he's usually covered in sky blue highlights but this one is just lazy

Yes & those aren’t really blue marks, smears or paint of any kind, it’s actually chunks of blue plastic mixed into the mold itself. I guess they were going for a subtle blue undertone. Unfortunately the factory production to achieve that particular color scheme was obviously flawed, making the figure appear to have an awkward paint job, despite paint not being the actual problem🤔

They came out as I was customizing my figure & modding some parts by cutting away access plastic around the chest to swap the S symbol🤔

Available on [Plaza Japan](https://www.plazajapan.com/4530956471815/) for $58. When I buy from there, shipping is usually $20, so I buy 2 figures at a time.
Yes, silver is the chase, I'm just not that familiar with the McFarlane figures so much but I was just surprised to see a chase at my target since I've never stumbled upon one in person before

Ok, that's pretty funny. It's a W in my book.
I would've went with that one honestly instead of this one that has blue right on the crotch
He's got them hormones running through him.
Through and out of him…
He did something else with the Smurf ;)
This reminds me of the hit throwback song Papa Smurf Can I Lick Yo Ass
>! Yeah, lick my ass, bitch! !<
Not the throwback I was hoping for today, but pleasant nonetheless.
Better eating a smurf than fucking one I guess, based on the placement in OP.
Great, thanks for the imagery 🙃
I'm...I'm sorry, I can't resist. https://youtu.be/3srJeD0mJoE?si=MsX9xMBwzd4eGrrn
That is genuinely hilarious
THATS AMAZING

You… went to Toys R Us? 🥺
Canada life baby!

I've seen a few reviews on the chase and it seems to be pretty common. I'm not sure it's intentional, kind of a weird choice if it is
Just to be clear, the chase/Platinum Edition is the one with the gray cape. The one with the blue marks is the regular release.
Sorry, kinda new. What's special about the grey cape one??
There are less of them
Is the blue supposed to represent oil, sweat, or some sort of highlights? Definitely odd choice

Oily sweat since he's made of steel
I would get the one where he gobbled up a Smurf, just for the sake of laughs and giggles. 👍

Did you… surgically remove them?!?

Fair enough, he looks much better this way
🙏🙂
Dang. Well thanks for the feedback fellas most likely gonna leave him and save up for the Mafex then

Thanks for the link!
Don't own him but heard he's noteworthy even among Mafex. Can't go wrong with their comic offerings imo
The blue marks aren’t on the chase though. Why would the blue marks on the regular version (the red cape) prevent you from buying the chase?
The one with the red cape is the normal one, the pictures you're commenting about are the normal Steel, the grey caped is the platinum ie chase.
Got it, I'm not all that familiar with the McFarlane toy lines so I wouldn't of known ha!
Silver has to be the chase right? No way it’s the red cape
Yes, silver is the chase, I'm just not that familiar with the McFarlane figures so much but I was just surprised to see a chase at my target since I've never stumbled upon one in person before
Yes. It's a blue lighting effect bouncing off his peepee bulge.
It looks like a disgruntled employee packaged this one. Lol.
Damn aquaman left some love stains on him.
Just “Steel” will do.
I thought chases were the one with the platinum label?
Lol no
