What are the best sculpts ruined by bad factory paint jobs?

Poison Ivy PF.

The difference between the prototype and the production piece is astounding.

I'd say some people would mention Sonja, I actually love my tan Sonja, so it's a toughie.

The 1/6 Medicom Snakes form the Metal Gear Solid games. Great sculpts, non-existent paint apps.

1. Red Sonja - I was looking forward to her and passed because she's not like what was shown at SDCC or pre-order pics.

2. Rogue - Examples all over the Net of that.

3. Psylocke - Hearing of paint cracking stopped this one. Both Rogue and Psylocke I was considering getting anyway for custom paint jobs. But I thought why bother? Other companies can and will come out with possibly better versions. Koto has Danger Room Rogue coming. XM probably will try. Koto V2 blue Psylocke is beautiful. XM will probably make one too.

4. Aayla Secura Unleashed - I really wanted this one back in the day. It's just a figure but they used some bad pink paint wash on her. It looks really bad on most of the figures.

5. Lara Croft Neca - Another figure that looked fine in prototype images. But the factory paint job wasn't even close.

I thought the Alien warrior was quite nice.

I thought the Alien warrior was quite nice.

Maybe he means just the teeth, the rest was pretty good if you were lucky to get one without QC problems.

Errrrr... Not painting the teeth chrome did not ruin the bust.
