MP Megatron, how bad are your feet?? - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

So, everyone knows of or has heard the complaints about oxidization/corrosion/tarnishing with MP Meg's chrome feet (and a few other parts). Just curious how bad it is on your figures? I Was giving mine a quick inspection and was shocked to find out how bad my guys feet look. At first I though my wife may have somehow spilled coffee on it.... but she doesn't drink coffee or even touch my stuff

I'll take and post pics after work to show the extent. It's pretty bad though, not only his feet but the chrome piece half way up his back is just as bad. On top of that, seems like my MP Megs has the same hip replacements as 6" Ti Megs. Can't pose this bugger at all on glass shelves unless I wedge him in a corner. Otherwise, he does the splits.
So......how bad are your feet? Are they getting worse or just staying the same?

Is there a way around this? Maybe pop them off and hit them with some Kromekoat?

Mine came with fairly heavily 'tarnished' feet on the bottom right out of the box.

I haven't done anything about it but I've heard rubbing alcohol followed quickly by a nail polish protective coat is the way to go if you want to get rid of it.

Also curious if anyone has had the chrome blister right through?

Anyone know if this issue was addressed in the second run of these figures?

Mine is second run. It's fairly bad on the bottom of one foot and just a bit on the other foot.
