Your repaint shows Affleck- great job!!

 

[Cyber Warrior]

Nice job, just the mole alone makes it look more like Affleck... I don't understand why they left that out.

 

[Uncle Bingo]

That is a vast improvement. Now why couldn't Sideshow have already done this on their $500 statue? A collector shouldn't have to modify their piece to get it to look right after dropping that much money.

 

[KryptoSlush]

Seriously, just the mole makes it look so much more like Affleck. To think, all Sideshow had to do was put a little dab of paint and some stubble and it would be such a better likeness. It just strikes me as lazy really.

Took a couple of hours each day since Saturday to try my hand at repainting the mouth area. It's not the best paintjob -- it's my first time to fully repaint a polystone flesh (I've only repainted lips and eyes before) and I used brushes no airbrush/spray paint -- but I'm happy with the results. I think I got a little more of the likeness to come out of the sculpt, I'm sure more experienced painters could come up with better results.

I used powder eyeshadow for the 5' o clock shadow. I have no tools and courage to manually draw the stubbles on, so I think I'm fine with how the facial hair appears on hand. Sorry for the pics, colors are a lot less saturated in hand.

Congrats!!!! I was wondering what a "simple" touch-up would do to such a wonderful statue! Now, it makes this MUCH better!!!

CONGRATS!

Thanks, guys. Really appreciate the comments. I'll have the paint sealed tomorrow and will put it back on the figure. Will take pics when I have time.

My head is on its way to you.

 

[HeubertMichael]

Thanks, everyone. A shame that their sculptors do great work lately, but the factory paint would be a hit or miss yet SSC approves them either way. For this figure they sculpted Affleck's mouth right but painted Kilmer's lips on it.

Yeah, skipping the mole on a Batman with the lowest ES yet and releasing it half a year earlier is pure laziness on the factory and complacency on Sideshow's QC. $500 may not be $700+ like better painted statues from P1 or XM, but if getting the latter would save me more money and trouble from asking a pro to repaint, then my money's on them. I will not PO another SsC piece regardless of how impressive the proto would be.

Well done... I thought it looked like Ben before but your paint apps really brought out the actors look. Great job!!!

 

[Iko Iko]

Great paint job!

 

[xpl0sive]

The repaint looks much better. I believe the reason the likeness is more visible on the repaint is because HeubertMichael didn't fill the entire lip area with colour. The lips were the problem on the standard headsculpt. The mouth was simply too big. Making the lips appear smaller and thinner really brought out the likeness.

 

[Bgnyc007]

I'm still torn about this one. This is the reason I won't PO WW I need to see production pics first. Got to be choosy nowadays.

 

[HeubertMichael]

Thanks guys. Yup, it was just the paint. Headsculpt is the same as the prototype save for the tip below the neck that was lengthened a bit and became rounded. I'm completely happy with this piece now the sculpting on the body is still my favorite, love all the details on the suit.

 

[Fastball Special]

Batfleck arrived today! Hopefully I'll get to open him tonight.

BRO! Whatever you did is a 1000x better than Sideshow's paint job...

Thanks buddy!

Sideshow must be taking their sweet time having this shipped to the other collectors huh? Would love to see more pics and hear thoughts from fellow owners

 

[Drum18]

Thanks buddy!

So... what's your mailing adress so that I can send you mine for a the same custom job?

 

[tylerdurden]

good job with the repaint heubertmichael. just goes to show how sloppy sideshow has become. it didn't even take much to bring the affleck likeness out. i think it all boils down to the piss-poor paint app on the lips that ruined the sculpt's decent likeness. now i am dreading how mine will turn out. i told myself if it looks crap i am selling it.

Thanks guys. And I hope you get to like the PF enough for you to keep it, tylerdurden.

 

[tylerdurden]

Did you receive yours yet?

still waiting. strangely, the other local retailers have already received theirs, and for this PO i switched retailers cos my regular one was selling it at a higher price.

Thanks guys. And I hope you get to like the PF enough for you to keep it, tylerdurden.

i sure hope so too. i am one of the minority who loves bvs, so i want a good collectible representation of what is arguably the best (or one of the best) live-action, big screen batman ever.
