Wow Love this Bust but the paint job sucked, did anyone got one with a decent paint job?

Can you post the pictures please ?

Dooe the paint bleeds all over ??

Wish I could but I don't have my camara with me, But the paint job looks amateurish at best, the painting doesn't bleed but it looks like as if they weren't trying to be careful as they were doing it, on mine there are some red stains on the blue shirt from when they were painting the cape!

Ooh crap....after hitting all the right button with Zatanna covergirls, it seems that DCD's back with their usual unimpressive paint job.

I get the impression they really don't care about the guy line. The Superman Bust I seen was ok though.

We might want to see if more than one person has an issue before writing them all off... It isn't like any manufacturer has been immune to paint defects, which is what is being described here. It sucks when it happens, but I doubt it's indicative of the entire run. Maybe indicative of the quality of the QC...

I've sure seen a few Wonder Woman Vs. Superman statues... only one had gold paint from the lasso end up on her torso.

Speaking of the Zatanna Statue, did you guys know DC Direct didn't produce the entire number of statues they said there were doing? They just did a part of it that's why Zatanna has been a hard find!!!

How do you know this? How many was produced?

I have no idea, someone that I know from Diamond told me, It might be just gossip but I believe it we ordered 2 of them which tick me off usually we order 3 (1 for me 1 for a costumer who pre-orders it and 1 for the store) and so we order 3 more that day and still haven't gotten it.

Either way it kinda makes sense what was the edition number? 2000? 5000? DC Direct makes some good stuff but I don't believe they sell out on a first day, I speak that from observation.
