It's very poor work and frankly it's offensive. To work hard for that money and buy something and in the end be very disappointed...

Mine arrived today. Very happy to report that I don't see any flaws other than the slightly rough lower jaw paint that everyone's reporting, which isn't really bad in person. Looks like a keeper! As for the statue itself, AWESOME! Sorry to those with paint issues, but I'm sure you'll get good replacements.
Here's some grainy pics:

Is that really their policy? 3 statues and 4th statue is free?

I agree 100%. To think that Sideshow's QC thought that this was acceptable is disgusting. I know some people will say that the QC is a guy in a Chinese factory, but that is completely irrelevant. Sideshow hired the factory, Sideshow released this sloppy product, and Sideshow shipped a "premium" item to customers that had blatant poor quality paint applications. I am really disappointed because my flipping Bowen Ironman had better paint apps than this.
Sideshow hasn't even responded or posted that they are looking into the issue and if they are going to do anything to rectify the situation (although, I am not sure what they could do to fix this since it appears to be the bulk of the product).
Matt- Those are nice pics and glad you got a good one. It does suck for those that didn't cause this piece is pretty damn kick ass!
Webb thats the thing I think. Is overall of the 2800 that where made its probably not many that have the issue. It happens to any company be it SS or HT (yes they have their issues too).

To People Trying for a Replacement:
Has anyone that didn't purchase this from SS been given an RMA or a confirmation that you'll be receiving a replacement? My vendor still hasn't given me any notice.
Thanks.

Same here, sent my vendor pics and a long letter of frustration and he said he is trying to contact SS and get this handled.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think both of you are underestimating how widespread the subpar paint apps are. Looking at the posts on these boards and at statueforum, most people have major complaints about theirs and are planning on exchanging or returning theirs. Even these people that have posted pictures and are happy with their statue have rough chin-paint applications at best.
I contacted AE the night I received mine for an exchange and he told me that Sideshow had requested more pictures...I sent him more and we are waiting to hear back from Sideshow.

I am with Kibishii on this, it's really below par for all the pieces. I have looked through the photos on here and Statue forum and think that even the statues people are happy with have poor paint jobs in the chin area. It just doesn't compare with the fine work they did on the recent Wolvie and Sabre PFs. I don't know what made this one so different.
I just don't think you can take two boards and assume it's a large percent. It shouldn't happen but with hanged painted items it's bound to really. As far as the ones people like having bad chin paint apps but mine is just fine. I have no problem with mine at all.

I am a reasonable guy. But man I am FN pissed now!!! The paint issues are unacceptable. It's like some kid painted this. I don't want an exchange. I want a full refund! This is BS. War Machine is soooo getting canceled too.
I am gonna get a full hot toys iron man line. So much better.
What the hell...why can SS never get an IM piece right? Its like every piece they put out is always followed by issues. When I get mine in a few weeks, if it looks like that I sware I will never purchase another IM product from SS. I've been trying to get AND KEEP just ONE good IM piece from SS for the last 2 years. So far Ive sent back every single one of them. This will be my 4th attempt....

Chris, I am very sorry to hear that!
I have many, many IM pieces from Sideshow, and yes there are some minor issues but I have the best of luck with them?!
I guess for every bad one you find there is a good one somewhere, in another collection!
