How many have even gotten him? I just ordered mine last weekend so I haven't gotten any sort of shipping notice yet. I don't know if they just got a partial shipment or if they are shipping all orders now.

Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

I don't see how that even came from the same factory as the other pics posted here. I've gotta wonder if that's even real. I could have painted that when I was 6 years old.

Have close up pics even been posted?

Horrible.

Not many, for good reason apparently.

This turnout good? Or another IM nightmare

Horrible.

I agree. Damn man, that's just straight ugly.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the photos posted earlier are as bad as this in a lot of spots up close.

 

[azurepred]

if that's the only pic from facebook, I call fake. It's prolly some Neca toy or vinyl figure or something.

To be fair that's an extreme close up using a camera, using the naked eye I doubt it looks that bad.

I think I'll do some similar close-up pictures of the Mark VI Maquette. Just to see what they look like. I have a feeling that the quality has taken a turn for the worse, but obviously the level of detail of the new armors is higher as well.

Close up pics please. Of a similar area as that Facebook pic, so that a proper comparison can be made between a good one and a bad one.

I really don't know why they insist on the black style panel lining. More often than not, it makes the piece worse.

But then again, I've seen it done extremely well by under 13 year olds/beginners building Gundam model kits.

 

[Phoenixblazes]

Though when I got my Hot Toys mark 42, it had somewhat similar panel line issues, but to a much lesser extent.

But the difference for me was how it was applied. That being last and with no top coat etc, I was able rub off any excess panel lining simply with my thumb, and sometimes nail, without any damage to the piece. Most likely due to it being casted/molded to a smooth surface of plastic/diecast rather than the rough polystone surface.

Oh dear.

 

[gorocketcat]

That looks pretty gross. The black paint is spilling all over the place.
