I thought perhaps it was an isolated situation, before I started coming across listings of older girls all with some staining problems in box. I recently ordered another Simply Peppermint, to replace the baity Peppermint I have for customisation. She had the same problem. Peppermint, released in 2009, arrived at my doorstep still in her shipper covered in yellow stains… and *gasp* was a little mouldy.
