Your Tracer looks great, patrickm! This puts me a little more at ease when I get mine on Monday. Thanks for sharing!

Oh cool, did you contact Blizzard for a replacement? How was their customer service?

That doesn't look that bad. A bit different around the eyes like in the other pics. But no where near the disaster of the first version.

Are there supposed to be red dots around her nose? Like freckles?

Yep.

Anyways, got my Tracer in and I can rest easy because she came out fantastic. Now, onward to Widowmaker!

I don't know what to think. I guess there are now three versions of the same statue with varying paint jobs. Also bootlegs out there. Blizzard needs to get this under control. I don't want to play the different version game for Widowmaker or future statues. They have more than enough money and resources to be able to get quality control on these to be consistent and cut off bootlegs.

No one has the resources to "cut off bootlegs". Just saying... it's unstoppable in every field it exists in.

Yes. Please contact the gear store for a replacement if you are unhappy. It's nearly impossible to guarantee that all units are flawless.

As for bootlegs, there's only so much that can be done. A lot of the bootleg versions out there are rip-offs of the in-game assets and you can tell immediately with all the stretching and lack of detail. The fans will know the difference for sure.

We made a conscious decision to go with polystone statues instead of PVC. It looks better, holds detail nicely and has a nice heft to it.

Props to Blizzard for this awesome piece! She was definitely worth the wait! I don't play Tracer but she is a beauty in person. Pictures do not do justice. Now I am excited for Reaper(wave2) and Widow I have on order. Here's my short video of her https://youtu.be/_eu5jxx_QRw
