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

This is the only thing I am really disappointed with. There is like a white spot under his left eye. I know Koto's paint apps are not the greatest, so its not a huge deal, every Koto piece I own has some paint flaws. Its on his face though

Do you guys think I should send it back for that white spot? I am undecided.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Its a great sculpt but by looking at your pics, I also see the uneven paint job on his forehead. The brush strokes are clearly visible as well. I have yet to own a Koto fine art piece because I do keep hearing the constant concerns about paint applications. Magneto is the only Koto fine art statue that I'm interested in and hope the paint job is great. So far, I heavily invest on their bishoujo line only.

If it's not too much trouble, you can try to get a replacement.

--------------------------------------

When my Kotobukiya Fine Art Psylocke came in, she had a "pimple" on the tip of her nose. A portruding small round spot/bump.

I got myself some Tamiya sanding paper, and Tamiya acrylic Flesh paint. Sanded it lightly to get it off, then applied paint with fine brush. Ta-da, it's gone. Good as new. I was nervous though, I don't do this type of touch ups(involving sanding) often. I was afraid if I overdid it or made a mistake, it would be a disaster.

Think I might go for a replacement, unfortunately I am concerned I will end up with a worse paint job.

Looks good...been waiting for the perfect arch-angel to complete my x-force...so far this is the best out there IMO. Just not a HUGE fan of the base/bricks...wish it were different.

Looks like I will be receiving a new Archangel body because of the paint spots on his face. I have been told that this one was inspected prior to shipping to ensure no flaws. Pics to come!
