Full Size Iron Man bust from Sideshow

[azurepred]

Well.....got mine today, and I have to say mine looks great, just a couple of tiny little things so I would rate mine a 9.5/10 not bad considering I got it for 200 under retail and for those saying the plastic base doesn't give it heft is crazy cause this bust is still really heavy and if it had a solid base it would b extrodinarily heavy......

here u go.....srry my camera sux, so my IM bust doesnt seem to have those sloppy black lines i have seen on some others, the red looks good all through out and the paint feels even through out, theres a small rub of some sort on the left silver piece, and a very very tiny little nick of some sort on his right cheek but its not a chip of any kind, but in the light i cant even see it, but i mean almost every SS piece will have little tiny issues like these and its no biggie. im very happy with it

Where are pictures of awful looking ones? I've never seen one with a lot of damage on it, so I'd like to see good pics of what the damage looks like.

here ya go. I returned this one a couple weeks ago. The paint just flaked right off the base without even touching it. The paint was bubbling off everywhere.

/\ Jeez. That's outrageous! I'm gonna have to go check mine for that now. That really sucks. Has this happened on others too?

[azurepred]

thats crazy how obvious the flaking is on that base.........u would think they would b smart enough to realize what the point would b to ship that off knowing its comin back

Sad day in the collection world for me. Just got notified by SS I won't be getting my bust repaired or replaced. Was offered $100 refund if I decided to keep it. I couldn't justify paying $600+ on a bust that wasn't perfect. So I'm getting a full refund, hey but more $$ to buy Hot Toys now.
