Really?

Just opened her up and I was disappointed by a couple flaws...

1) Misaligned eyes
2) Small scratch across her stomach

Otherwise the piece is excellent....

Sent a replacement request, will see what they say.

The eyes on yours doesn't look that bad, but on mine she has one eye dead center and the other one is looking to her left.

If SS doesn't agree to the replacements I'll just send it back for a refund.. If SS wants to charge high prices then I expect high quality...

Again and again this big black comma that covers the entire upper eyelid. Here, the worst is that it continues out of the eyelid, down, towards the cheek, instead of going up. The painter didn't know where to stop.... I doubt I’ll ever meet a woman with such an awful makeup. Well... everything is possible...
That, plus the problem on the eyes, plus the scratch - I wouldn't want a single scratch, even a little one, on that nice and cute belly- and it's back to SS for a refund. It's a shame for a so nice statue.

The eye's look ok to me. The scratch, i can only just make it out. Mine came with a blob of black paint on the shoulder, and various other paint marks that gave the impression it was handled by someone with traces of paint on their hands, or pack before the piece was 100% dry. I kept the piece, and decided to fix the issues myself (not that i have attempted that yet. Sideshow did give me $40 word of SS points which i put towards a Hot Toy).

First one i got
1. The regular portrait had a pin size hole in her forehead
2. The left hand didn't go all the way in
3. The on her costume, the chest area had several badly paint repair which looked like touch up paint was different than the rest.

I did get the second one with a minor discoloration on one of her arms, but other than that it was pretty much flawless. She looks so much better in person to, at first the regular portrait looked odd in pics but in person it looks way better.

More lazy eyes??? For these prices this should not have semi lazy eyes at all. Not asking for prototype quality but just no lazy eyes.
