Does anyone have any close up photos of the paintwork on Blue, especially the head?

I hate many ugly black dots on Blue’s face the most.






Sorry for a bad light but paint app looks terrible in person regardless the light.

The last one is a cheap licensed figure repainted from SEGA on same light.

Thanks for posting the photos Airnoname. The paint app appears to be worse on the head, which was the main area of concern on the Breakout Rex. The body on Blue doesn't seem too bad. It seems strange that the most important part, the head, gets such little attention.

Am I the only one who is seeing the lack of skin texture on the top of the head, back and tail? It looks almost flat

I wasn't aware 'officially' that some of their pieces were manufactured in other factories.My suspicions turned out to be valid afterall.
That's another reason for me why I will never pre-order their stuff again cause frankly,their dino pieces are HCG statue level quality.The lowest quality the hobby has to offer.But then at very steep prices!Unbelievable.
Yeah totally agree. I was under the impression that CC used ONLY the good factories and after bad pieces like the Endo they were pulling out all the stops to make sure their products we're the best out there.

Obviously not.

Thank Jebus for Prime 1 that's all i can say.

Yup, my confidence is with Prime 1 as well for delivering great JP pieces to collectors. I have to wonder what happened to Chronicle, is this the same company that made Robocain and Ed-209?

You are misunderstanding. Toynami apparently has multiple factories, the one where ECC stuff is made being the best. I think they got shafted by Toynami putting out this quality of work which is probably why they are cutting ties with them.

Oh my god...Chronicle needs to eliminate this factory too. It looks like Blue sneezed into a bowl of pepper.
