Title: Only had my Pleo RB 3 days and noticed this with the Skin?

Seems a bit of paint missing, don't know if it was like this, or missed paint, cracked or what? what do you think?

Did they miss a spot, or has the paint cracked in this spot? Or will is the rubber cracking in this spot, but does not look to be? Maybe a bad part in the paint?

So asking for people's opinions as to what it is?

It is the latest Pleo RB, and read they fixed the Skin Problems, and paint problems, but seeing this already in 3 days, I am not convinced  they have.

I never had accually paint coming off like this on my old Pleo, sure the paint did wear where he was patted, but not coming off like my new one, seems pretty poor the paint problems are still there. I did read the 2012 ones meant to have fixed paint problems, and 2011 Pleos still had a slight problem, they fixed nothing.

That's what's happening to mine. I had her for about Three days too when I noticed skin problems. But Yoshi's skin was peeling and becoming yellow where the paint was coming off on the back and tail.

So it seems they have not fixed the paint problems, the paint cracks on the new Pleos whereas it rubbed off on the Old Ugobe Pleos, so nether paint is much good I feel.

I have seven Pleo's with that same spot missing, some on both sides. It gets to be about the size of your little fingernail then that's it, never gets bigger. I don't know if its to do with the manufacturing process or its just where the movement occurs, but it's normal.

That happens in every pleo, not just pleo rb, it is due to the design of the skin and joint un that area, it doesn't grow much

Rather then use a paint, why could they have not used some think like an ink or dye?
