Looking around the whole statue in the sunlight this morning, the paint lines are pretty jacked around the whole piece. There's also scratches on the front chest and a small paint crack on the back thruster
.
It's not noticeable from even a foot or two back, so I realize I'm being a bit nitpicky here, but I'm surprised the sloppy lines go around the whole piece considering how good my other XM pieces are. At the same time I do understand that painting Iron Man is very different than the other ones as any sloppy lines will be readily apparent against the glossy red.
I'm going to contact XM to see if any repairs or touch ups are possible. Also, to make sure it's an authentic piece. I did get it from a different source than all my prior XM pieces so we shall see. If worse comes to worst I may try to get a refund
