The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Thanks alot. I'll wait for your pics.. My Rogue statue is the regular version only and I am happy with her, Her eyes are looking at both direction, similar to the prototype eye, but she does suffer from heavy eye make up, which I think every single statue is.

If you guys look at the makeup on the Vampirella PF it was painted perfectly. Amazing how they can completely botch it on Rogue and get it perfect on another statue.

Which leads me to believe whomever decided to experiment with a new set of factories or paint should probably be fired. At these prices there should be no excuse as to why certain slip ups are allowed its not acceptable, ie paint flakes, mis-spelled bases and company names, piss poor paint apps.

Agreed. That's why I steer clear of Sideshow's Marvel line for the most part. There are countless examples of pieces in the Marvel line who's whole run was riddled with sloppy paint apps, damage, and just poor QC in general like Rogue and Psylocke for that matter.

I have come to the conclusion that Sideshow doesn't care about QC when it comes to their Marvel line and as a result we get sub par and poorly produced pieces for our hard earned money.

I got my replacement back in January - for those of you getting them now would you mind posting a quick pic?

I'm curiouse if the paint app is ALOT better for those who had to wait for the new batch as opposed to those of us who didn't have to wait too long

Just got my replacement head and body...and I've just about given up hope on this getting any better...the replacement pieces are even worse...the poor paint applications on the body piece may look a little subtle in the pictures but it is so noticeable on hand. The paint on the replacement head is perfect but the frakkin' left eye has wandered to the extreme far left corner...don't they inspect these replacement parts before they send them out?.....arrrgh...so frustrated.
