I did manage to open Pete's mouth more, and id does not close on its own now.
But it still does not close istelf completely unless I muzzel him back with the elastic.
I also have paint issue aroudn its left eye, it does not have the dark color it is supposed to have, but a clearer green unlike the other eye.
I'll have to repaint that a little bit.

Not satisfied with my Sweene either.
The mouth is fine, but it also have the same paint issue on the left eye, but much less visible I should easily fix this.
On the other hand, the front of it's muzzle has a much annoying issue.
It has messed up black paint on it, which is not supposed to be there...
And it will be a problem for me to repaint that since fixing clear paint is really harder, I'll have trouble to make the exact same color (off-white / clear grey).

Overall not super happy with the quality control on those figures that would look amazing otherwise, a bit disappointed by Rebor.
I'm hesitant to ask for a refund, since  they are not sealed anymore, I opened them, and I don't think they'll consider my issues big enough to justify a replacement.
It's not like a part is completely broken, or the paint issue concerns a large portion of the figure, and they'll probably tell me that slight defects are to be expected on mass producted figures in that range of price...
Especially if I get new figures with same issues or new ones.
