Thanks for taking the time to upload pics Ricardo

I really wish they stuck to the original gold paint that was shown in the prototype, that was my biggest gripe from the variety of pictures shown of this statue where some looked like dark mustard color and it was unappealing. I hope in their next releases they stay true to the prototype paint choices.

Based on these pics you posted I feel better about the gold paint in the production pieces having seen the statue in an open area with sufficient lighting, it looks much better and brighter in my opinion.

I plan on keeping mine

Also I had the same problem with the black lines on my Spider Comiquette:

Dear All,

I'm the creator and owner of the ToyReview website which watermark you may have noticed in more than a hundred pictures of this particular statue...

I've made the pictures myself last Thursday, after picking up the figure directly into a store last Wednesday night... as usual, I took several pictures from my own collection pieces and also some figures I get direct from resellers specially to be reviewed...

So, at first, the purpouse of my review was not to "point fingers" but, mainly, to share with other collectors the "real figure" and not the "promotional pictures"...

More than only the "studio pictures", I've made a few (20) pictures with my iPhone 4S camera that area available at ToyReview Facebook page...

For the first "real big" project with a "huge license", IS should paid more attention to the final product (and as you could read, a lot of other buyers faced the same issues I've listed in my review). The point that is bothering me right now is the lack of communication or feedback concerning the several complains made by the collectors (or customers, whatever) by IS staff... at first, this sounds, at least, like "disrespect"...

Until the present moment, no speech, no letter, not a single word dropped to explain the reasons on what happened or even, a commitiment on solve the issue... particularly, my figure is pretty bad when compared to other ones (mine is 178 of 750).

I really like to help you on decide on picking up this figure or not, so let me know if I should translate my review or made a video review of the figure.

Best regards,

Rodolfo Canato - ToyReview.com.br

Got mine opened in Brazil.
No major issues to report from pictures so far.
I'm having it mailed express to the US tomorrow.

 

[cadera]

I have Comiquette from Sideshow. I'll post my photos to see the staff, making comparison and draw their own conclusions.

My Mark 42 is little better, because Rodolfo had the best will in the world I leave open some to choose the best. Thanks, Rodolfo!

This is very comiquette ****! You know that. I'm comparing the two here right now and I see a huge difference in paint quality between the two.

 

[cadera]

So this:

Turned into this ?

Look at the difference in the "suspension" of the shoulder.

 

[cadera]

Gringos on fire. Who sold them, is a giant monkey in hand. OMFG!

Looking forward to your pics. Having mine expressed to the US as well

 

[Collectorcol]

Pose looks really awkward, paint looks crap!

 

[StarkIndustries2000]

Cool pics Ricardo. Those pictures appear to show the paint application to be a lot better compared to some we've already seen

 

[jye318]

So about the black line, can we try to clean them like what we do on spidy? Btw I email you Ricardo.

Btw I want those two, they looks much better. Lol

 

[Mad Napper]

Thanks for taking the time to upload pics Ricardo

I plan on keeping mine

Just piggy backing off of this note, thank you Ricardo for posting up the pictures definitely feeling better after seeing them. I never had any intentions of cancelling on you no matter how bad it came out, its a gamble we all took and you shouldn't be left on the hook for our roll of the dice.

 

[Drum18]

In Ricardo I trust!
