Has anyone tried wetting it with some water to see if it removes it ?

Nice figure. Basic but adds a lot to an Empire display. Can't wait for the Emperor.

Great shot ! Loving all that Empireness !!

And yet the red really does have a huge impact. Just imagine that shot without the Imperial Guard.

It looks like it's faded into the fabric dye to me. It's also located right over the crest of the boots on both of them.

You mean the top of the boots ? So maybe potential rubbing during transport ?

I just thought it would amazing all these people with issues, and not seeing if it could be removed.

Looked like chalk to me in the pics, which I think they sometimes use for marking up patterns on large pieces of material.

Well one has spots and one don’t has anyone tried anything to try and remove them ?

So the boot is rubbing against the plastic shell or something? This kind of sucks, it seems rather widespread.

Bummer on these spots. Maybe the boxes that are getting buried are getting them? A bit too much weight on top during delivery?

Time to join the party. Just got my charge notification and tracking from AE.....

Same here

Last week I emailed AE and requested a quick spot-inspection and they said they would check before shipping. I hope they followed through

 

[Jaymig926]

Warm water and a little hand soap with gentle rubbing. Looks like to me it worked I’ll check when it’s fully dry

Hope washing it with soap will work.

 

[Jaymig926]

Pretty much dry and no spots !

 

[TaliBane]

Can the robe be reversed to hide the spot, or are the sewn folds/creases and "arm slit" one sided?

Wow. So it's some pale color added, not red color removed.

You just used water, no soap at all? And hot or cold water?

Maybe a splodge of some glue then?

Looking forward to upgrading these guys over the next few months.

I have two guards and a regular Emperor on order.

I'm keeping my Sideshow Throne.

Someone disgruntled at the factory adding their “personal” touch to the robes
