Nicely done diana! A drastic improvement over the before portrait. It's mindblowing that sideshow still has issues with getting the eyes straight on all of their portraits. Unbelievable that eyes that crossed get by QC.

This is why I got mine from LCS after seeing it in person. Amazing piece when done right, but that eye would bother me to no end. Great job making it correct.

Good work on the repaint!

But that sideshow job! Yikes! If I wanted a repaint anyway that’s one thing and that’s fine. But there’s absolutely no way I’d pay just to correct bad product. SS would have to replace that or I’d need a full refund. Or if my intent was to get a repaint regardless of how the piece showed up, I’d still need a credit from SS because it shouldn’t have shown up that $#!++¥ regardless. Absolutely no excuse for a product to ship like that.

BUT that one does look better now either way.

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

Someone needs to tell sideshow that Stevie wonder may be a good musician but he makes a lousy QC guy.

Well SS did send out replacement heads for this widespread eye issue, so I assume the client wanted a repaint anyway.
