Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

That's the other issue. Scope is crooked.

Then I'd say it's definitely something to return. Guess the question is now do you want a refund or a replacement based on how widespread the paint issue is?

I'll check mine out when I get home but I didn't notice it being more pearl in color or the helmet vs torso mismatch. That said I opened it just to do a quick inspection but the bright white blaster being there for an easy direct comparison should make it easy to determine.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do, however I don't know whether to ask for a refund or replacement.

The color issues aren't completely terrible, and I probably would just live with it if the helmet matched the armor. The fact that they are two different shades and the rifle is a third shade with a crooked scope, that's the deal breaker.

All said, it's a nice bust though. First time I've ever had an issue with GG product, hopefully I can get a decent enough replacement.

Let me know what you find with yours on a second look.

Checked my MB again and definitely don't see any contrast between helmet & torso. Color doesn't appear to be an off/white or pearl either. There is a slight contrast between the gloss white of the armor compared to the flat bright white used on the blaster however, but that's to be expected. Hope that helps. Definitely sounds like you got a lemon.

Well, at least there is hope of getting a good one. What # is yours? Trying to see if this has to do with certain batches. I'm going to arrange a return tomorrow for mine. Hopefully my replacement is a good one. Thanks for checking!

It would explain why they never hit the target.
