No. They aren't fully painting them, and it looks bad. I don't care how much you like the piece, the lower lip looks like they forgot to paint the bottom half of it. I think, if I remember correctly, the latest Huntress had the same issue.

not a deal breaker in any way since it is very easy fix if needed since airbrushing is not required and maybe an hour or 2 of your time....and some paints here and there....easy peasy

also if you look on the SSC site the paint app is similar....so its legit

I might be lucky or the issue is not as widespread as on the Huntress PF. On my unit (post #516) the paint is lighter on the bottom lip but it's definitely there covering the entire area.

Yeah, should be an easy fix should you get one that isn't fully painted. It's a common thing with these statues. I've seen MANY XM female statues, as well, where the sculpted lips are under painted - and those are usually both the top and bottom lip.

yep...can be a quick Sunday afternoon project with an ice cold Modelo in the garage or man cave with some good tunes blasting away

Forgot to mention that my waitlist on this converted last week. Hoping to get a good one and not a return from somebody else.

Agreed. I feel like some of these odd sculpts are contributing to this. That huntress has this weird rounded lower lip, so you can't really tell where the paint should actually stop.

Congrats!

Give us an update when you do get it. Prestine condition or not? Pics would be good too.

I finally got this from ssc. Anyone had issues getting the 2nd flame into her base? There’s a considerable gap that I can’t get it in fully. I reached out to ssc and they offered me a ridiculous $65 credit. I didn’t even put the body to see if it even fits because of the peg issues.

Hmmm, no, but I can check to see how mine looks for reference.
