Busted Silk Spectre Bust?

I've had this bust since it came out. Its been in the box until about a month ago. But I just noticed what looks like hairline cracks. Anyone else have this happen to theirs? I've had this happen to me before on some resin kits when I've done poor putty work.

Looks like sculpted seams to accurately reflect the costume to me. There was a bit of similar hubbub years ago concerning the Bruckner Batman bust - they were intentional.

Thing is, I haven't seen at photo that shows those seams in her costume. And if they were intentional, I would think the sculptor would engrave them deeper.

Nope I agree, it looks like intentional costume seams.

I don't think they'd be seams - if they are anything, they are supposed to simulate "wrinkles". As was pointed out, there aren't supposed to be seams in that costume. I can definitely see wrinkles in those same spots in the DCD promo pics.... you'd just think they'd be upraised and not engraved to look like seams.

The pic on the box looks pretty similar to your pic...

There's some more pics in this thread.... I'm guessing it's less visible from a distance or when a picture is taken with a flash.
