AJ neck discoloration

[stuart]

I just recieved my 1st bearded Action Jackson and he has a large discolored lump on the from of his neck. I've seen in the galleries a picture of a blonde-haired AJ with the same problem. Can anyone provide any insight to what it is and what caused it? "It's not a tumah"

I have several with that problem with several AJ , I think the pigment was to thin in the neck area when the head was roto casted . it the same discoloration later heads get when the pigment was either poor quailty or to little was was used .

I always thought it was similar to the graying. . . .a breakdown of chemicals.

I did try to shave one down with an exacto knife and the discoloration became darker the deeper I cut, would that make sense due to the chemical breakdown?

Try a little cover-up.
