That’s disappointing. If I had known about the existence of my local Australian store, I believe I would already have both of these pieces if I had both of them on preorder. All my current Queen preorders are through Sugo as it appears they get earlier batches than Spec.

I just hope my Alita and WW busts aren't going to be spending months sweltering in some cargo container before getting to me. I'd almost rather they wait to ship these until all the port backlogs are cleared up.

So I received my Special Edition bust yesterday and
had some paint issue on the upper lip, which definitely sucks.

However, a bigger issue here is that mine did not have the
Black leather/spandex outfit that everyone has been showing.
My seller said that it was never included with the piece
and was not in the solicitations... and that the pictures I showed
them were "custom" pieces with the black outfit.

Am I crazy? I thought all the busts came with the black top
to put on it?? Every review I found on her has the thing.

Any help/information would be appreciated here.

Also, here are pictures I took showing the paint issue on her upper lip.
In the center of the upper lip, the paint stops and it is just flesh colored,
resulting in there being a 'V' shape right down the middle.

Your dealer is wrong.
The black vest is supposed to come standard with both regular and deluxe models. Only the mech heart and coverplate for it are any kind of exclusive.

Sounds like you need to contact Queen, ask them (so they can reply as a verifiable source) and show that reply to your retailer.
Maybe Queen can even hook you up directly.

I can't see how bad the paint issue is because your photos are too small.

repost and instead of linking to them from a photo hoster, click the paperclip icon and link to them directly from your device. They'll upload as full size attachments.

If QC missed a major paint issue on the center of the face, it certainly wouldn't surprise that they could also miss not including a standard accessory.

Maybe you got a knockoff? Who is your distributor?

Here are the pics again... hopefully they come over correctly.
I noted in red the shape that is created by the missing paint, it definitely doesn't seem correct compared
to all the other images and videos I have seen.

It is definitely not a knock off, I got it from Cinemaquette direct, who distributes for Queen Studios.
I will say they are not wrong when they say it is not in the original solicitation, though.
That vest is not listed anywhere on their PO specs.

I made it a point, before I pre-ordered with a US retailer, to ask Queen directly about the black vest.

Quote:
1) Can the bust be displayed without the right arm and blade attached? Photos and video from Wonder Festival show Alita wearing the black vinyl tank. Will that piece ship with the bust as well?

Hi,

Which bust do you mean? And yes the black piece will come with the bust, if you don't like it, you can take it off.

Thanks


customerservice
Take it for what it's worth that they provide a definitive answer right after asking what bust I was referring to

I followed up with another question about the arm, and in that message I made sure to express my pleasure that the vest would be included even though I was planning to purchase a regular version of the bust.
So there's no room for them to dodge later and claim they didn't know what i was talking about.

Here's a screenshot you can send Cinemaquette of the email.

If Cinemaquette needs the preceding and subsequent messages for better context, just let me know.

Mine from CM included one, so yours should have as well. Who did you talk to there? It comes in a bag that is partly white and looks just like more packaging material so double check it isn't still in the box.
