Replacement Iron Man L.S. busts finally coming!

[El Roranous]

Thanks Rory, I also have a great eye for details. I can spot the smallest flaw with ease. I think I'll pass unless I can get a good deal on one then.

Probably for the best. I'd rather have no item at all then one I was unhappy with.

The plactic covering shouldn't have been on those busts.

Who ever the rocket scientist came up with this great idea should be awarded with excellency and should even get a big bonus this Christmas

They should really consider putting those plastic coverings on every piece they ship out. Harsh plastic is perfect for a delicate surface.

i heard a thin layer of steel wool will also make for a great surprise upon arrival!

Finally got my replacement bust in today and am pretty happy with it. No hard plastic covers, just a soft foamy wrap around the bust. No major flaws/scuffs on the front or back of the bust like the original one I received. The only flaws I noticed were on the back of the neck where there are a few lines that look like cracks in the red paint before it was "clear coated" so it is sealed but slightly noticeable.

I just boxed up the custom stealth LS bust to ship off to the buyer and one thing that I did not do is insert those godforsaken covers. More harm than good...

Here are a few quick pictures. Very happy that I decided to wait on a replacement and got a decent paint job. I was worried about getting one as bad as my first one especially when Sideshow said their replacements were flawed. This one is nearly perfect other than the one problem on the back of the neck.

Small flaw in paint on the back of the neck:

Yep, that is exactly how I feel about where it is damaged as well.

personally it would still bug me, but with a piece like this, where it is probably safe to say that none are 100% flawless, I'd deal with it as best I could.

true nash. i should re-phrase my previous statement from "clean" to "fairly clean".
