Thanks guys.
So do you think I should return it to secret base for a replacement? Its not really noticeable from most views, but when its 'heavy lifting' a flast surface its very noticeable. Its slightly shifted not only vertically but also horizontally. Would you guys get a replacement? Don't know if im nitpicking.

@hockeyflow: I think the reason that most of the people are complaining is that they are likely Hong Kong residents since they already have the figure in hand. Igor has been displayed at Toy Hunters and ton of exhibitions this last year prior to release. Most locals got to see the actual prototype many, many, many times. One of the things that many locals commented about on the Hong Kong forums was just how nice and weathered the paint looked. To many, that was a main selling point.
When the figure was released the difference between the prototype and the in-hand figure was pretty massive. I'd go as far as saying more so than any other figure previously released by HT. I spoke to my usual resellers and many are sitting on a lot of stock currently due to this issue. Many even expect the prices to fall below cost on this one. So i guess it might be a case of not missing something that one never knew existed. Overseas buyers will undoubtedly be very happy with there purchases once they get them. But to those who have seen the prototype i guess they are left a little wanting?
It all works out for the consumer though, lower demand should equate to cheaper prices down the road.
