I'd call Lil' Tykes and ask about their paint warranty on those cars.

That hood is so tiny, how much could it cost to just re-spray that?

I hadn’t even thought about that. You’re probably right, but it’s not my car.

It's that clear coat or PPF?

Re: I’m about to do something crazy…
Short of stripping the offending clear coat and standard refinishing (primer surfacer + base coat + clear coat) which is really the right way, here's what I might try...
- Take a razor blade like you surmised and remove all of the loose clear coat
- Thoroughly scuff the remaining clear coat around the area where it has been removed with something in the 600G-800G range
- Scuff (very lightly) the exposed base coat - I'd use a fine scotchbrite pad for this step
- Spray 2 coats of clear over the missing clear coat area (2K spray can) - You're going to use this clear as you would a primer surfacer in a traditional repair - Allow to dry overnight or longer
- Block sand the applied clear coat to level the repaired and blend area (start with 400G or 600G and finish with 800G or 1000G)
- Thoroughly scuff the remainder of the hood with 800G or 1000G
- Spray 2 coats of clear over the entire hood (2K spray can)
- You could be done at this point - or - you can wetsand and polish if necessary
