Hey, fellow Rainman fans! I have a bit of a dilemma that I was hoping for some opinions on.
I bought Rainman's Alex (my 10th Rainman figure to date) and think he's absolutely wonderful. However, something has bugged me ever since I received him. Alex's right eye is missing the usual lashes seen on the far right (our left) corner. Rainman didn't seem to paint a lash or two on mine where he clearly did on others (and those examples better match the actual photos of Malcolm from the movie). Also, the same eye seemed a bit dark, and once I took a macro picture of it, I could see exactly what was happening... eyelash color spilled (?) onto the blue of Alex's iris as well as part of the sclera.
I would really like to have the dark paint removed from the eye itself and have the missing lash or two painted where they belong. I really don't want to have to send the entire figure back, but I am reluctant to remove the head and just send that back for paint "repair." Does anyone have any advice on what to do here? How can I communicate my concerns with Rainman without a translator (seeing as how SantaJack and Zuno are now out of the picture)?
Am I just being too picky, or does the price we pay for these warrant demand for perfection? Many thanks in advance for your input, guys!
And here it is....thanks again Mag
Damn that's brilliant DM!
