I MIGHT reorder this again but might wait a bit to see if later batches has better paint, way too much pink on most. Not sure how a repaint could work on this with the little rooted hairs. Might make it a pain to do.

I don't think a full repaint would be necessary. Just mix up whatever color green that is and then lightly airbrush over those areas to tone it back down.
What I don't get is it looks like they airbrushed an actual pinkish red over top, instead of just using some green with a bit of pink mixed in like HT clearly did.

I think I want to try the thumb trick with surgical gloves on first. That is if I feel it's necessary I suppose.

Could you link the Facebook posts with the thumb trick shots?

Yeah I hope so. But I'll believe it when I see more proof of it.
Doesn't seem to make sense though rubbing it off would surely take all of it off unless they had clearcoat layers between.
I'd also be interested in any Facebook shots.
It might have something to do with the rubbery sort of resin they're using. The extra layers of paint may not stick as well to it, or be sealed in as well.
Nice ! Seems super easy
I would like to see someone add hair to the ears too.
My order says payment processing but never received an email. Nice surprise
Hi, I just registred, but I'm reading this thread for 5 months now, since I preordered.
I was worried from the start, because I was afraid of a bad paint job. As a painter/sculptor myself, I'm very picky and was never happy with mass production pieces. I understand that the sweatshop workers in china are not as passionate as a painter that does the prototype, but man I'm disappointed. Not only the pink, its the tone of the green too. I was expecting a more olive green for the skin. I knew I would have to add and redo details (veins, blood vessesls and stuff) and correct the skin tone, but when I read its silicone/rubber, I was worried even more, because the only thing that sticks to silicone, is silicone. Thats why you just can rubb off the paint, because they probably didnt paint it with the right paints. Usually you dilute silicone with naphtha or silimar products and add pigments to paint silicone. Painting silicone is more expensive and more difficult. So to be able to rubb off the paint tells me to be very carefully, because most paints wont last very long on silicone :-/ So for mine, I will probably painting it over with the correct colors and seal everything with it.
