With an edition size of 750, is there a pretty good chance on converting for this one? If not, I have a chance at picking one up for about $125 over retail(after taxes and shipping ) so I'm wondering if I should wait a little bit or just buy this one now...

Hey everyone. I've had my Psylocke EX for around 1 1/2 weeks already. When I opened her up, I was glad since I couldn't find any issues with it. I thought I had a perfect piece.

Turns out it had some issues. I took some daylight photos of her today and spotted them. I wanna post them here and see what everyone thinks. I want to know if I just being picky.

I attached most of the pictures since I don't want to ruin the forum with 10 huge pics. Most of the issues are random paint spots and paint rubbing from the magnetic pieces but nothing major IMO. However, the main worry I have is the base. It looks like it has paint cracks. At first I thought it was only scratches. I was ok with that until I found out it was cracks. You need to really look at the base pictures to see them but they're there.

I still need to check the extra kitana and the Reg head, but other than that, no issues. Yea it's a bit sloppy paint job, but nothing major. I'll post more pics later. I just wanted to address my issues.

Those are a significant amount of defects. You should forward the pics to SS customer service. If you can't get better replacements, you should at least be entitled to a partial refund.

Those are tough war marchine. You have every right to feel fully satisfied. Though for me, I have found sometimes im just dissapointed by the new one. I waited five months for my rogue replacement and her body didnt come back any better.

Thanks for the advice Blackthornone

Wow. Sorry about that nemen. I guess getting a replacement is still a risk . Did SS offer you anything after your replacement?

Honestly the only issue that bothers me is the base. Members have had this issue with some of their pieces and the results is the paint starts flaking. As for the other issues, they might effect the resale value, but they don't bother me that I want to return it.

Not at all like that Iron. I'm just asking for some guidance, some advice/tips. I'm new to collecting and want to learn more about which issues could effect my statues in the future

from the photo the base doesnt look like paint flaking but a bit ruboff, that's an easy fix if it really bothers you that much because it's just monotone red, get a bit of acrylic gloss red and a super fine brush, and just touch it up a tiny bit in the area that has issues, once dry you cant tell.

Of course you can also exchange the base with sideshow, it's a much less risky than exchange the statue & receiving an even worse one, the only problem is they might mess up the base # so you end up with a box + base that doesnt match (bad for resale, ppl will think it's a defective returned item) or the peg may not fit 100%.

Honestly i wont be too concerned about the base, especially it's not anything special just a monotone red paint.

So you're saying it possibly isn't paint cracks? I've looked at it and looked at pictures members have left and it looks like it could be cracks. They're hard to spot but if you look closely at the second base pic you can spot what I mean. I'm not sure if it's cracks however.

Well, after reading about so many people having cracks in the legs, and a bunch of others having them form after receiving; I checked mine again...

Also, I scrutinized the base. It's really difficult to see, but I detect many many micro-fractures. They're like capillaries all over the base. I took a few pics, and this one displays it best. It looks worse in the red portions, but the camera couldn't pick them up. It's still smooth to the touch, but I fear about the future. I did a direct comparison with the Rogue PF base, and the Rogue base does not look like this.

I'm really glad that these boards exist. If I didn't come here and read everyone else's experiences all of the time, then I might not have caught this until it was too late. A little over another week and it would have been past the 30 day guarantee.

Guess we were the only victims of the paint cracks on the base. Sorry for your issues Jedah
