Ok, so here's an update on my Sideshow Captain Rex Legendary Scale bust. I initiated an exchange since mine has a slight paint issue with the visor area (among a couple other issues).

According to Daniel Campisi in returns,
We examined a few stock pieces and compared them to the pictures you have provided. Please know all pieces had a similar paint application to the helmet and arm as your pictures. Every piece we produce is individually hand painted and you will be able to find slight variations on any statue if you examine it close enough. This is the normal paint application for this item and as such, we will be unable to provide you a replacement that would be an improvement over your current piece.

So, apparently then can now get away with sloppy paint apps by saying that they are all essentially like that by just going through a few boxes. But, that wasn't all that I had listed wrong with my LSB. I also noted that there was small chip in the polystone armor near the elbow area and the base that this bust rests on is loose.

According to Daniel Campisi in returns,
Please know as your item is not damaged, you would be responsible for the shipping costs to return the piece.


This is a WARNING for those looking to buy or considering this LSB​
According to Daniel Campisi in returns, any sloppy paint apps are meant to be that way because these items are hand painted. And, any chips in the polystone or manufacturer defects like loose bases aren't enough to be considered "damaged" so customers will have to pay for shipping back to Sideshow for an exchange or return. Just thought I'd share.

That statue looks amazing btw! It sucks that you have to go through that kind of hassle to get a piece that's in perfect condition. Afterall you are paying a hefty price, the least they could do is make sure things like this don't happen.

I never really expect perfection, but what I can live with. A little sloppy paint, ok. A wobbly base, ok. A small chip in the poly armor, ok. Put all three together though, and now there is a mess. I don't think it is asking too much for an exchange when multiple issues like this exist. The good thing to come out of this is hopefully someone interested in buying this will at least have this info, and be informed of what could potentially happen.
