Galactus maquette overspray eyes & better lit pictures needed please!

[VS1976]

Can we get some natural lit pics of Galactus maquette? It appears he has silver overspray around his eyes similar to the recent Ultron PF. Im pretty sure I was not the only one that didn't like the orange overspray on Ultron. IMO, it ruined the look of him when displayed in a natural lit room. Are you able to verify with the development team about this and maybe change it by not having the silver overspray? I Understand why you guys did it but it doesn't need it. The last thing you guys want is massive returns on this. Please rethink it for the customers point of view.

Much appreciated ~ VS

PS. If there is no silver overspray around Galactus eyes, please disregard this post then

Ok added pic taking from SDCC.. Please SSC, paint it without the overspray! It looks horrific!

Agreed it would be better if they remove it (er, if it's there...). But wow, what an amazing maquette.

I'm not sure if this is a 'glowing effect' but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remove it from the final paint.


No Eyeshadow on Galactus!

Can someone photoshop without the silver overspray and do a comparison? I bet a lot people will choose the non overspray eyes over the current one.

Better

 

[VS1976]

Better?

Looks way better. I think the pupil should be darker, almost black though. Can you do it with the full body (as shown on post 1) with the no overspray? It would help out a lot of peeps and hopefully SSC would changed it.

SSC version:

Please SSC, go back to your development team and reconsider the change The last thing you guys need are more costly returns.

Please, Sideshow, stop with the overspray. It does not look good.
If you want a lit-up effect then just make it actually light up.

Ok everybody relax lol great maquette and sideshow always does such a great job! This piece is awesome, I do have to admit it does look better without the over spray but then again this piece looks great either way. I would love to actually have a light up feature but we can't have everything, imagine the price with a light up feature!!!!! It's perfect keep up the good work!!

I don't think Jedah or I are asking for light up feature. I am wanting to see natural lit pics of Galactus with what appears to be silver paint overspray. I don't want to spend $900 on a statue that had the same paint application effect as Ultron. It did not look good & I was extremely disappointed with it.

Agreed, overspray is diminishing a perfect statue. Sideshow, if you did not add light-up feature for eyes, then why pretend? This statue has everything going for it; size, detail, great colors, great pose.....etc

Please Sideshow, kill the cheap, gimmicky paint apps, as you've done your job extremely well with this statue, & it needs nothing else!

 

[jye318]

Way better, please make the change to push me buying it.

name 1 time, just ONCE, sideshow made a change to the statue due to a thread posted here, or anywhere on the forums.

they dont care.

I disagree. SSC has made changes before. People first pointed out the Blackcat LSB eyes were the wrong color. They changed it from blue to green afterwards.

The g.i.joe 12" Firefly had the wrong color mask and SSC corrected the color scheme.

The Thanos Comiquette infinity gauntlet originally did not have light up feature. It was added way after when people were unhappy about it.

There are probably other changes when people pointed out the mistakes & changes. This can be changed. Im hoping they will listen to the customers input again.

 

[gagaliya]

you are right, they did make a change alright...

 

[occulum]

holy ____. I critical thread with every post presented with adult-level tact. .. so far ...
.. and I agree. Remove the painted glow=

 

[Dr Daystrom]

Guess I'm not the only one that thought the lilac "glow" slobbered all around the eyes seriously detracts from the (otherwise outstanding) piece.

Another vote for "please fix it"!

 

[Atheris]

I'm not getting this piece, mainly because I'm not a fan of the character at all. But, I do agree the odd overspray around the eyes does make it look pretty cheap. It's actually one of the first things I noticed when the piece went up for PO.
