Definitely not on mine. Looks like a pimple.

Hmm upon closer inspection I reckon it's a manufacturing glitch. I think its a blister that happened sometime after molding. It looks a lot more like white stress marks than paint.

I've only acquired three Animated toys-Starscream, Ratchet, and Blitzwing-and I really like them. I especially like how poseble they are-it's refreshing after the movie toys (well, the ones I got, anyway) were mostly brick-ish due to weird proportions.

I'm actually fine with Blitzwing's visible tank treads. The only problem I have with the jet mode is that the treads and robot head don't lock in really well. It's more annoying on the tank mode, since the treads aren't attached to anything.

Hey SD, while I can't help you with the robot head, you might not realize that there are some pegs that help hold the treads in place in jet mode. If you flip out the main part of the feet from the treads (not the heels), you will see two peg holes:



Then there are the pegs on the back of the turret which go into them:



So here is everything lined up without pushing the pegs in the holes:



And then finally pushed in, it should be flush:



It keeps it fairly secure for me.

Uh...I did actually know that. I was complaining about it in tank mode, since the feet and pegs all fold away and thus leave the treads all wonky.

I personally was very disappointed by Blitzwing. With the euphoric excitement that everyone on these boards felt, I was obliged to bust mine open and try. I think the legs are very screwed up and awkward. My pegs do not hold. The laziness of the jet mode. The tank mode is not very imposing. It's cute, yes, but cuteness does not a Decepticon make. Furthermore, the tank mode is not very solid. Then the guns pop off reasonably easily if not rotated in the right direction. I think in comparison to the Deluxes, he's very joe average not to mention frustrating.

i'm a bit disappointed in the scale issues for voyagers.
How is voyager prime bigger than grimlock? Big unhappy face.
