Re: Toynami/Cinemaquette presents: BATWING & (coming soon) BATMOBILE.
On the 1/6 figure Sideshow used some grey to simulate the silver, but went more for how it looked on screen, rather than the brighter silver it may have been on set. I think they made a successful compromise.
I never would have perceived these spots as problem areas, just un-uniform weathering (and I'd say that "uniform" weathering defeats the purpose). I guess I should examine mine more closely to see if I should be upset.
On a related note, what do you think of Darth Vader's mask being painted with silver sections just so it shows up better on film? Do you think that a replica should also have parts painted silver, or do you think that it should be all black, because that is what people expect? After all, is Darth Vader REALLY going to have parts of his mask painted silver just so it could show off the shape of his mask in order that people could better take pictures of him? I would be curious to hear your viewpoint on this.

I received it and...it has a bad paint :/
