A lot of the paint has come off my Angel, sadly, but not on any of my other Tamagotchis, including my new blue floral v2 and my older green and purple connections. I used to carry the connections around in my pocket and they'd bump against each other, yet the paint is still in perfect condition (the screen on the purple one, however, is quite scratched). I only got my v2 a few days ago, but so far I've been keeping it in a soft pouch at night and have been very careful not to rub it too hard or letting the screen get scratched. I really hope the paint holds up because they do look a bit ugly when the details come off :\
