Received mine today, love it so much even though it's bigger than I thought. This is my first sideshow figure
Here are some pics of my replacement helmet with scuffs. Would you guys accept this?

I received my replacement helmet today and it was noticable scuffed up but I like to take care of my vehicles and have some plastic swirl and scratch remover. I did about 3 minutes worth of polishing and now it's perfect.
Figure's still in production, so anyone buying now is going to be fine. Unfortunate if it takes a couple tries to get it right, though. Later in the run I think it's something I'd only pick-up from a LCS, where I could view it in-hand before buying.Fear realized: they've burned through all their good replacements and now have to use replaced parts.
Plastic swirl and scratch remover!?! Sounds interesting! Can you point me to an example product! Thanks!
The stuff i used is made by Meguiars and is called Scratch X.
Not 100% sure how it works, i think it has a very mild abrasive. Somebody on here used toothpaste to fix theirs so I figured i could not make it worse by trying.
I'm worried about the "mild abrasive" that you mention and he mentioned before with the toothpaste! Doesnt that mean the black paint could be scratched off too?
EDIT: Sorry if I'm coming across as a noob with all the questions on polishing. I used Meguiars products to wash really, not polish.....
No problem, I'm no expert on how it works (maybe someone else one here is) but I can tell you my helmet looked like crap from a couple feet away. Now close up under bright light it looks flawless, a nice shiny black.
