Anyone who is happy with this piece, from what we've seen, needs their eyes testing.
Think I've seen 6-7 now and still not one without major flaws.

To be fair bro, I'm hoping that Hot Toys take over the 1/4 scale Iron Man line via you know they are gonna kill it each time and not so much a Russian Roulette of what condition your piece is in when ordering from Sideshow.

On a more positive note, here are the best pics I've seen so far....still far from perfect though

Looked good...of course I'm sure it was an artist proof or something along those lines.

Let's just think about for second...many of us wonder why SS has not addressed what we feel are systemic / chronic QC issues. In my opinion, one reason could be that Sideshow's management does not feel the QC problems are systemic / chronic. In other words, perhaps Sideshow's management truly believes the customers routinely complaining about quality control issue represent a vocal minority of their entire customer base. Business owners are sometimes very reluctant to initiate dramatic wholesale changes for problems / issues they believe only impacts a small percentage of their customer base. Is that an accurate assessment...who knows? None of us has any idea of the percentage of defective products returned to SS in a given year, the number of total customers, etc....

we well never know the number of returns etc.

but we do know SS seems to run out of replacements pretty quick...so either they aren't making many or they vastly underestimate the % of defects.

The weird thing is they do very well with the star wars line (the recent savage is a good example) but seem to have nothing but inconsistency with the marvel and dc stuff....it really is a gamble pre-ordering anything from those lines these days.

Yours is the best one I've seen.....from a distance. As with all the ones posted so far, as you view close-ups of the pics, some spots and lines look as if they were gone over with a Q-Tip. It's definitely no GG IP, but congrats either way.

Rhodey looks possessed by Scarlet Witch...

Yes, in the few close up pics it's clearly visible the paint bleeding. Just look at the red lines on the border of the chest, on the face plate, on his sides

Yup from far looks ok but if you zoom in the pics you can see the issues with lines and painting, just pulled trigger on the gentle giant iron patriot looks much better in close ups

 

[averone]

Yes there are some minor red paint bleeds, but nothing I can't touch up. I guess I can see if I look very close up that lines could be better when they painted the red.

Overall its not something that I can't fix myself, with some TLC. Im happy with the sculpt its very good.

Nice one averone. I haven't seen any of your IM pics in a while.

If you have this inhand how does the silver paint look? Any resemblance to a metallic finish?
Thinking, and worrying, about the MK II.

Cool.

But apparently you need to get your eyes checked according to some people here.
