I’m not a huge F4 nut...but Doom looks awesome. I checked the 3 Walgreens close to home yesterday and no dice...did see 3 Emmas at one store, though.
Has the red paint on your Cap’s ab and back chipped? I’ve had mine for little over a week now. I like to pose figures a lot but this is worrying me
@WFCSiegeOptimusPrime I've had him since the Summer and no issues from my copy. Of course, I haven't handled him a lot either... I've probably changed his pose twice. Once when I got him and again the last time I dusted.
The chips on the front seem minimal, what I’d do is get a fine tip red sharpie or other fine pen and just dot them out, it won’t be a perfect match but it’ll blend in really nice. As for the chip in the back, it’s a tad more difficult what you would need to do is first fill the chip in with white paint for a base, and then get a dark flat red paint and brush it on the dried white base until it looks mostly okay. Paint matching and just painting red on black in general is a pain tho. Then after if your really worried, you can always hit him with an flat clear coat to give some more protection for the paint.
Damn. I really thought I could escaped the fate of touching up and fixing my toys when moving from transformers to marvel legends...
It must be because I’m new to this and this is the only I have. But usually for you guys, do you guys get used to this? Does QC like this bother you? To me, transformers is more about missing paint, not painting chipping
Honestly, it's not something you run into that often. You just happened to run into a bad figure. This is the reason I like buying these guys in person when I can because you can at least inspect them in their box. I've seen all sorts of wonky paint applications on Legends... particularly bleeding or misapplied paint seems to be regular. Again, I can't recommend visually inspecting your figures whenever possible enough.
Had it been that the paints were crap since MIB I would have been ok (since I can’t buy this where I live and had to ask a friend to get me from the states). However, I think this is more like an “over time” play issues which sucks because I like to pose my toys and take him everywhere when I can. They’re toys after all right??
I don't. I think F4 is cheesy. Ive been attacked on internets for saying that. Doom is a much bigger player in the universe.
No, it’s not because you are new. As you’ve seen from Transformers, Hasbro is a quantity over quality company. I’ve complained about their overall quality for the price they charge many times but what can you do? They hold the license and produce the characters I want figures of so I just have to deal with it. Whenever possible, I prefer to buy better quality figures from other companies like Revoltech, Bandai, Mezco and Medicom but they don’t give me the range of characters Hasbro does. Booooooo!
By the time I got Vision and Wanda finagled the way I wanted them, I had a big ugly bar sticking out from my one stand. So I improvised. Love me some Spider-Man PS4 loading screens.
FF is supposed to be cheesy though. Super heroes in general are cheesy, that is what makes them so great.
