Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
I keep all my 18" NECA figures on the top shelf. The only one that stands REALLY well is Gandalf because he is one solid chunk of plastic. So I just use him as a crutch for the others to lean against. Horrible I know... but I cant have these massive figures taking a nose dive from the top shelf. Beetlejuice has absolutely zero ability to stand on his own.
I havent opened my iron man yet, but I anticipate leaning him backwards against a wall.
Anyone else have paint issues?

Yeah he wants $25 for the display stand and it comes in 4 parts.I just don't understand why NECA can't include a generic stand with these!?Even Diamond included one with there Ultimate Quarter Scale figures!^_^

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Good news and bad news everyone! NECA is selling the Iron man through their eBay store! However they are bundling it with Captain America. Their price for the two figures is $199 and $20 shipping. But at least it puts both figures around retail cost! Hopefully this helps some of you who missed Iron Man.

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Just got mine.
I am really, really disappointed. I don't know if it is just mine, but it came with many flaws. Painting problems, scratches, it is just ridiculous
Horrible pain smudge on his face!!! come on!
You can see scratches all over his left side of neck and close to his colar bone. You can see it is silver underlying the red pain.
another horrible smudge on his forehead
Another very visible painting problem
another detail of the neck. horrible painting and scratches!!!
I don't know what to do. I will call cornerstorecomics and see what they have to say. I just can't keep this with such visible flaws. It is just ridiculous they put that type of product for sales.
does cornerstorecomics give you a hard time returning the product??

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Mine certainly has some, but nothing to this extent! I will be curious to see what else I uncover once I unbox it tonight. Sadly it is the kind of thing I expect with NECA so I am not overly shocked. I think your best bet is to exchange it for one that isnt so horribly botched.

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Mine has some paint issues here and there but nothing like yours. I think you were unlucky to get one with more QA issues sadly.

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
I would contact NECA or even post on their facebook, its worth getting a replacement over.

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Do you have an auto parts/paint store near you?
There's a product usually called "rubbing compound".
It *very slightly* melts the top surface coat of paint on cars when you are respraying. You just put a little on a rag and polish marks out of the surface.
It's less than $5 for a tube. I keep it on hand for custom paintjobs, to polish the final product. I reckon that's all your IM needs.

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Well, I am not a handyman and don't want to spend more money on something that I know I can't fix.
Still will not fix the scratches on his neck

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
I totally understand. It was just an idea.
I tend to try and fix problems rather than try and spend time returning something!
But i have learned how to fix a lot of problems over the years.
Your best bet will be to return it.

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Yeah, I just hope they do not charge my any restocking fee. The product is clearly damaged. I did not removed him from the packaging.
I am posting on NECA facebook now and see what they say

Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
Mine has some paint issues (pretty much the same as the pics above), but I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it because truth be told, I'm pretty sure a ton of these have the same problems. It didn't come with a HT price, so you really can't expect perfection. Sometimes you gotta step back and just see it for what it is.
If people keep complaining about such minor things, maybe they should go buy one in person so they can see what they're getting into.
I remember getting my first 6inch Walmart exclusive Mark VI. It was the absolute last one anywhere in my area, and it had a huge line (indent)running down the left eye. I got a little upset that I didn't have more to choose from, but the reality was, at least I had a chance to get one, period! I bought it, and never really regretted it. I figured that I would just make it a battle damage version if it really bothered me that much.
Seriously, those paint issues pointed out above are not that big of a deal.
