| Hello all,
Just picked up a Phasma and noticed what look like cracks on both sides of torso.
On investigation theres no movement and seller assures me its only been on display.
Ive seen lines in other flat silver torsos before from moulding or wherever they
come from.
Lines are identical on both sides with a small flair at the hip and run under
and up inside the torso.
Are these stress marks or just from manufacturing?

| Sounds like mould likes but if you want to be sure try applying some pressure
with the leg pins 90 degrees to the side as that’s a little to big for the leg
holder and applies a little pressure and if it’s cracked you will see actual
cracks that can move

Weld lines from manufacturing. They are especially noticeable on any of the pearl
colors like Pearl Gold, Pearl Dark Gray, or Flat Silver (which Phasma is created
in).
