Bones has come up better than expected, almost enough to make me break my "Rule of Two" (Kirk & Spock only).

The glossy finish is a definite negative, especially for a high-end figure but as ebor mentioned, Dullcoat should take care of that.

What is Dullcoat and how do I use it, please? Thanks!

Real dicey putting paint on a high end sculpt. Don't know if you'll get some kind of reaction with the plastic or something else in the sculpt. But to each his/her own.

It's not that big a deal. It's Testor Dullcote and it comes in a spray can. You'll likely want to wash the head with dish soap and a tooth brush before trying it. That will remove any oils that might have come from production. Just follow the directions and you should be fine. I'd suggest one light coat.

Riggs nailed it.

Make sure to shake the can up good. You want to make sure that it's mixed very well. Then give it a dust coat. I recommend you try it on the hands first, for practice. Then if the glossy head sculpt bothers you, give it a dusting as well. Once dry, you can give the eyes a dab of "Future" floor wax with a thin brush to give it that "glossy" effect. I think it goes by Johnson, Kleen or Pledge floor wax as well. (Or just get Testors or Tamiya Gloss in a bottle).

I can't remember but does QMX charge you when you place the order or when the item ships?

Was the exclusive 179.95 for everyone? That was the only option I had to choose from

Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

The EX is definitely 179.95. That's what I have on my order.

Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

Got the EX since it's the same price. Don't know if I'll ever use it though.

When you place the order.

The EX wasn't a big deal for me, being that I know I'd never use the tunic. I PO'd the regular version from SSC so I could apply RP. Ended up getting him for about $20.
