Got the ship notice. Should be here Wednesday. I'll see how feasible that is then.

The left wrist has little to no shading, unlike my piece, which Sideshow claims is 'correct'.



On the subject of darkness of the paint app on the left arm, i decided to reach out to Sideshow.


Hello ..

We appreciate you taking the time to submit pictures of your Mr.
Sin Premium Format Figure. Our team has carefully reviewed your
request and compared your photos to several examples of this item.

Based on this comparison, we do not believe we can provide you
with a replacement left arm that would be different from your current
item, as it looks to be correct with the intended design of the piece.

Please keep in mind the setting of the piece itself and that Ursula
is intended to be in a dark, hidden laboratory contrasting with the
illuminated silhouette of Mr. Sin himself in the background. Her darker
skin tone reflects the shadowing of the surrounding environment.

There you have it. All is as it should be.
I think the lower the left arm/writst looks too dark.

Is the side of her left leg that dark on yours as well?
That hard demarcation looks really odd.

Hadn't noticed that before. I though it was only on the right side.

The fake shading ruined these pieces. Not sure if I would have bought them otherwise so my opinion may not matter. But they need to knock it off. No one wants your fake shading, SS. Absolutely the dumbest decision anyone has ever made in the history of this hobby.

Congrats!
I see your Mr. Sin does not have dark skin on the left wrist either.
