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

[hooper]

I've been enjoying repainting a few figures recently and was hoping to come across a few more figures that were sculpted well but ruined by a cheap paint job. I have already reworked Jabba and Bib Fortuna so I'm hoping to find a few others besides them.

Any suggestions?

Almost anything sculpted by Trevor Grove. Indiana Jones and Han Solo come to mind.

Yeah, I was also thinking about the various SSC Grove sculpts we've seen. Arguably the best 1/6 scale sculptor in the industry, rarely given a production product worthy of his skills.

I think the unpainted ACI Aragorn looks great but drastically changes once it's painted

Old Ben. Seen some really nice repaints.

Agreed.most older in age characters sideshow did had decent sculpts.old Ben and palpating are two that come to mind.

Thanks guys. I'd almost be afraid to track down old Ben and palpatine because I assume hot toys will do them both.

Ben, very possible. Palpatine? Not so sure. HT tends to stick to the heaviest of the heavy hitters. Maybe after they pump out 4 or 5 Vader variants.

The SSC Aragorn paint isn't too good. I think that's another Grove sculpt.

ACI one is kinda creepy. And they never show a clear, straightforward shot of his head.

No idea. I posted it in the Star Wars section and it was moved here.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

It should've been moved to General..this isn't one of my sections, so I can't move it back

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Move it, Mr. Mod!

I don't have full powers here

Every Alien and Predator product NECA has ever put out. If only Hot Toys would do some outsourcing with Kyle Windrix. We'd have DEFINITIVE figures.

All sideshow stuff

The ones I can think of off the top of the head are the sideshow Shaun and Ed by Adam Beane and the Big Chief Sherlock and John by Trevor Grove.
