Has anyone found a way to stop the paint from peeling off? It also scratches off very easily, so she can't even pretend play with them.

Try spraying it with a clear lacquer. You should be able to go to your local Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc and find it. Just make sure it's non-toxic. Hope that helps.

You have to make sure you put it in the oven after panting it should say that on the box

On our set the designs (stickers??) are painted on the plastic. Nothing to peel off.

Probably not. If you try to peel them off using a tool or some sort of scraper, you risk that scratching the paint. These things are super secure. There really is no delicate way to peel them off.

Im having the same problem and according to the reviews on this site...We are not alone. Ive tried saturating the heck out of um .. to a fine mist and no mater what they just dont seem to stick very well. Looks to me like it needs more work. There was some mention about placing it under a book to flatten the design? I dont know... to be honest the instructions that came with this thing, In my opinion were very lacking. If my 6 yr old son didnt just "HAVE TO HAVE IT!" I wouldnt have gone with this toy and I wont be recommending it to anyone else.

Good question....My 8 year old loves them and plays with them frequently. They're really nice! I don't see any signs of "paint" that has been scratched off, but that's not to say they aren't painted. Painted or not, they have been worth every penny to my daughter who's a huge Sonic fan!! Sorry I couldn't answer your question, but you won't be disappointed either way.

I would highly recommend not taking this apart at all. They are made pretty cheap. If you want to get rid of it, I hate it too, then just wrap everything in tape but the top surface and spray with flat black paint.

Never tried this, but do note these are paint not marker so initially anyway they would be very very wet if they were to run their hand over it unlike marker. If you wiped these after an activity I would think it would come off, however I wouldn't let them dry long then try. My daughter has gotten some on her play table (wood with poly shiny coat on top), if I wipe within an hour or so it comes off but if I wait awhile like the next day it leaves a smudge.

We have had the same problem. Ruined a coffee table and hardwood floors... Writing Hasbro and maybe returning a favorite toy....UPDATE: Contacted Hasbro via live chat on their website. Gave them the numbers from inside the legs and told them the issue. Also said others mentioned it on Amazon. They are replacing for free. They sent a prepaid envelope to send him back in so they can see the issue. I also had an issue with Bumblebee not closing all the way in vehicle mode. They are sending me a new one of that one as well without me having to return it.

I had that problem too. Try spraying them with Pam. Eventually, they sort of get greasy and it gets easier. They're not as slick as you are led to believe.

I am not sure about paint being chew friendly, I would say that it's not a toy for small children. My girls are 4 1/2 and 8, so I did not even think about them putting the toy in their mouths.

Ours tried also but the glues so strong .. I doubt they will be able to actually get them off unless some fall off on their own . We've tried taking the rest off after our cats nails have outgrown them and are still unable to :/

Don't use a paint - it might peel off in your food. Just polish them or re-electroplate them with a hobby plating kit.

I'm surprised by the last comment about them pinching fingers. My 3 year old plays with them almost daily and we have never had a pinch. Like the other answers said, the dolls can only sit when they are not dressed. There is no way I will buy the rubber ones again-oh and those rip apart so they don't last forever either.

You can by using gorilla glue or crazy glue. I had the same issue and that worked just fine. Haven't had a problem since.

I purchased the orange colored bottle a few moths ago and I haven't had any trouble with the paint peeling off. I tend to hand wash the bottle in hot water, instead of using a dishwasher, so that may help. Overall, it's a good product. Hope this helps.

Hi. The material is not course enough for the paint to bite into and will eventually start flaking off. Hope this helps.
