May I ask, how do you know this will be done by the same factory..?!
Or are all PF's from one factory?

Somewhere in this long thread, some one contacted SS customer service about the poor paint job on the Rogue PF and asked about the Joker PF, and the SS rep informed the person that the same factory that produced the Rogue PF will do the Joker PF.

I seriously hope that the Joker will not have a poor paint job or tailoring but if so, then there isn't much to look forward to with SS's DC line.

On another note, I finished painting my Rogue (regular) statue. I noticed that on Rogue's hair, there were some paint brush bristles which I removed before I painted her hair. I took pics of Rogue before I repainted her. My digital camera died on me so I couldn't take pics after I finished painting her.

If Sideshow pulls another Rogue on Joker, I've had it with them and their shady business practices.

But someone at SS also said that a different factory did the normal Rogue PFs. Which doesn't seem to be the case.

What I think happened with Rogue is that the factory couldn't match the prototype's detailed paint job for the face. Also, someone at SS ordered the rear sculpt alteration after the fact. These two things equal bad business when people are putting down money or pre-ordering with intent to buy what was shown.

Not really yet I doubt that SS will answer my inquiry when they have so many to answer. I could only imagine the deluge of emails they received about the Rogue PF.

I'll wait and see the buyers' pics before I purchase a Joker PF. Other than that, I'm happy how my Rogue turned out after the paint job. No regrets.
