Reissue FE voyager figures missing paint apps and QC problems.

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere yet, but thought others might want to see it.

A couple cases of FE BH coming out of the box with some rather bad stress marks

and...

Prime missing some paint that really affects how his alt mode looks. :BANG_HEAD:

I was considering getting another FE Prime to go with my FE BH in my pile of loot, but I think I'll just pass on that now.

LoL that is ridiculous.

Kind of shameful that such a small paint application was allowed to slide with how detrimental it is to the alt mode look.

Indeed.

He got the ole double screw, he also has one of the FE BH's with the stress marks right out of the box, and the arm in fact came off of his because of it.

Ham-handling maybe?


Holy hell! And I thought the botched paint on one of my Henkei Classic OP's wing was bad...

Would you believe I actually had to look up the original FE to spot the difference? :oops:

I don't think it's as much as bad QC as a wrong figure being used as reference, which may explain why I didn't see it right away. I'm talking about Shining Optimus Prime:

Shining Optimus Prime on TFWiki

As you can see, no paint in exactly the same place. Yes, I do have him, and I'm not bothered by this "mistake". >:oP

Bulkhead's stress marks on the other hand are a bit more worrisome. I know stress marks can be limited, but when they completely surround the joint... Oye.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Voyagers seem to suffer the most these days. Crap plastic, thinner, rubber, balljoints in the hips, POS weapons all that and a big, fat mark-up in price. I'm enjoying this.

Yeah, they mention Shining Prime in that thread and the paint missing in the same spot. I don't believe this to be a QC issue with the paint. Every single one that has been opened is like this, so it's just the way it is I guess. Now, for me, I could pass that off on the Shining Prime since he's so spiffy all transparent like that. But for the regular painted mold release, nooo way. Looks like garbage. Like I said, I was thinking about adding another FE Prime to my cart, as I already have 2 that I enjoy very much, but with this paint app difference I'm simply going to pass. If I got him, I'd have to fix that for sure. And luckily I just don't need one that badly.

I am worried about my FE BH that's sitting in my POL though. Seems several have popped up already with the same stress marks.

I think I can deal with optimus prime's problems, but is every bulkhead's arms popping off? This isnt going to be like PCC Mudslinger's legs all over again is it?
