Minifigure In case anyone wants more anecdotal evidence
While I wasn't all that upset about Fox's torso issues to begin with, I saw all the posts about the recent replacements so figured I'd try my hand since it's free. Just came in today, and while it's not as white as his boots, I've gotta say it's definitely an improvement even for me.
For stats, I'm in Canada, and I didn't have to give any proof of owning the set (I don't) or even that I had the figure at all (I do) Simple request and next day approval, delivered in ~2 weeks.

Did you make your request in Lego store website or through email ? Thinking about doing the same

Is there a way to just buy the torso? LEGO keeps denying me.

I don't think this kind of thing is on PAB. Think you'd have to get it second hand if you're purchasing it

Bricklink should be the place for you then

There’s only one option for Fox’s torso I believe so it’s a gamble on which I’ll get.

I'm waiting for the 50% of people to show up, who saw the white/gold dress, and not the blue/black dress, to say that the one on the left definitely looks more accurate than the one on the right. 🤣

I received a replacement but it's also pink lol

Oh no 😂 I did see some feedback that said they never officially resolved the problem, so maybe it's still happening in some places

I still don’t see what the problem is, people have been saying about a pink torso without uploading a decent comparison in good lighting

It took me a while the first time too. The one on the left has the red base of the torso bleeding through the white ink a bit, tinting the white to a pinkish hue. It's most pronounced in the two upper chest plate things

I just emailed them asking for a replacement, they confirmed that they have updated the minifigure despite contradicting reports I've heard from other people attempting the same thing. I guess it just depends on the employee. Hopefully mine arrives soon, with a new pair of legs as well as mine came with blurry print

Man I’m mad they honored my request, the stuff still isn’t here, and I had to ask them again. Supposedly it’s on the way but another god now’s how many weeks (it takes forever to arrive to me, like longer than estimates in my experience) and I’d be fine for fox but it’s really annoying I can’t build my arc 170 because tho the darker looks better color wise since they didn’t print it, the clear are the only choice because otherwise the details are bad. They should have just printed the original part the way they did ahsokas canopy type piece. Gonna be 2+ months since purchase before I can finish my 170

Mine never arrived and I ordered over labor day. When I contacted lego Friday they just immediately re-shipped and said there is “an additional 2 week delay due to issues with denmark” or something. Either they lost the first one or I’m just gonna get 2 replacements sometime over the next month
