There is a small visible flake/chip on the bottom rim of some figurine exposing the lighter base material underneath. There is a small hole on the back side of one of the figurines. There are some minor surface scuffs, small paint rubs, and tiny pinhole manufacturing air pockets are present on the bodies as captured in the close-up listing photos.
