Yeah, you're never going to get a perfect figure, there's always going to be something. I consider both of mine near perfect, so that's good enough for me. If you try and get a replacement, there's no guarantees that the replacement won't suffer from the same problem, or potentially have something that bothers you even more than the first one did.
Obviously broken joints, discernible scratches, unsightly errant paint stains or fabric tears I can understand. But a slightly loose or too tight joint, a small glue spot in the back that nobody will see, a very small imperfection in the paint? If everything else on the figure is otherwise ship shape and good, sometimes you just have to weigh the pros and cons.
So I gave up, as you are always saying there is no perfect figure on earth. so overall look it good on my figure,I have seen worse ones, cape,sleeves,costume,paint,details are perfect.what bugs me is slightly asymmetrical fabric piece between S and neck,most figures have this issue. but if you hold it a while stretched, it becomes symmetrical . I think it just needs a hair dryer,to make rubber softer and give it a position I want.which I will try later. Sideshow can't give you a guarantee, so I agree that keep original order if its not broken or something or buy used one. I will buy just a body when it will become cheap on Ebay. as I have second head.
