I got this set from my local TRU as a Christmas gift my older brother. This was the last/only set they had available, so I couldn't really pick or choose the best set. I was really pleased with NECA's sculpting, but as usual, NECA's crappy paint apps really ruined an otherwise fantastic set of figures. So, I decided to repaint the whole set before giving them to my brother.
Here are a few close-up BEFORE shots:

Here are a few before/after comparison shots. Kevin was the worst sculpt, so he was the hardest to improve upon. But overall, I think he looks a little bit more like "Kevin" after the repaint.

Here are a few quick shots with the repainted heads on their bodies:
NECA really packed a ton of detail into these small figures. They even added the burned "M" on Harry's hand, which I also repainted. Harry's left hand also has a wedding ring, which was not originally painted, so I painted it gold. And while I was at it, I also decided to add his iconic gold tooth as well
I'm probably going to steal mattman's awesome diorama/shadowbox idea before I finally give it to my brother. It's gonna be a little late for Christmas, but hopefully he'll appreciate the extra effort I put into his present
Merry Christmas, everyone!!!
