My SS Hulk Maquette had a black spot on him when he came, the seller knock $100 off the price and I just use some Mr. Clean magic eraser to remove it, it will also take some of the paint around the spot and move it in where the white dot is..

just be careful because if you scrub to hard it can make it a lot worse... you would want to rub really lightly until that spot starts to turn blue. if you do it to hard it will fade the blue around the white dot..

The actual color you want might be a mix between the above sky blue and a regular blue

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0099WQ0YU..._t1_B0099WPS5C

If you have a decent hobby shop locally (not Hobby Lobby), you should be able to find these paints for under $3 each.

test the color on some piece of plastic first just to make sure how it looks when it fully cures. If it's close, that's all you need. It's such a small spot that it will disappear over the distance of a few feet away.

From my experience of doing a touch up, you'll still fixate on it for a little while, but in time you'll completely ignore it. Even though you know it's there, it won't jump out at you like the bare statue exposed does. After a while you won't notice it and no longer think about it.

But if you aren't comfortable, no problem.

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

It may be just right. There seemed to be very little difference in peg depth between her weight tipping the base over and being stable - I forced it down some more (it definitely wasn't one of those cases where the peg just "slid" in) and it seems ok. I was pretty nervous when I left it alone, but she's still in one piece.

I will probably always display this one so nothing is to the left of her, though.

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

Finally got my Supergirl in.

Sadly my box came damaged and without the “$15 off next purchase”/proof of purchase included.

Emailed Debbie from Tweeterhead. Waiting to hear back.

I don’t necessarily mind Supergirl’s smile but wish it were less Julia Roberts-y. But from the neck down, she is perfection.

So Supergirl is taller than Harley Quinn if the latter isn't on the riser.

Nobody got the proof of purchase. It’s going to be addressed during their next live video.

EDIT:
I thought Harley was a tad taller than Supergirl but I will verify later.

I love Supergirl but I'm glad I passed on this.
