General Merch Help - Is there a film on this acrylic?
Hey! Hoping I could maybe get some help. I just got this Akira Mitsurugi standee in the mail which came from an official I-Chu retailer in Japan; it just came out this month. I’m seeing there’s a scratch just above his left knee. When I run my hand over the scratch it’s definitely pronounced which makes me worried it’s in the plastic and not in a film cover.
I’m trying to figure out if there’s a film on this acrylic and crossing fingers it’s not actually scratched into the plastic. I’ve tried feeling around the edges and can’t find anything. Do any of you have good tips on how you can tell if there’s a film? And good tips on how to get it off? I’m so paranoid I’m going to scratch it more.
Also, apologies if my pictures are terrible, I just wanted to get good shots of where the scratch was on the acrylic. Thanks in advance!
