and dont forget to put on the glasses! haha!

First BW can do no wrong. Then the figure sucks because of crappy pics. A few hours later, it looks awesome in the new pics!!! The next day, it sucks again and he looks Asian...BW sucks!! Man, the Ghostbusters thread is going to be hilarious when Slimmer's eyes and Winston's mustache look off
Not the best quality photo but looking pretty darn good here to me. From:

might be that they dont have the resources to handle order size of such magnitude.
every head sculpt needed to be hand paint separately. they just accepted too much
orders than they can handle. and the final product suffered from that.
You do realise that none of the Blitzway, Hot Toys, DAM Toys, Sideshow, Soldier Story etc etc etc etc etc are HAND PAINTED right. You do know that painting 30,000 heads in Howard Chan's office is not how it's done right...?
i am not sure what the exact process is but hot toys always listed each sculpt is hand painted. may be they do the base paint as factory paint and detailing is done in batches - may be eyes, and some other aspects. i am not an expert and no idea how its really done - just thinking aloud here. but i do know that most of their listings always mentioned each sculpt is hand painted.
i have also spent a lot of money on customs, and i love the work of some of the customizers here, the only issue i have found is the custom paint is easy to rub off / scuffs etc. so i am assuming hot toys wont be totally hand painted as its usually quite solid from a rub off perspective.
It's not just the base paint. The eyes aren't hand painted either.
Get some Tamiya flat coat. Put two tiny pieces of sticky tac over each eye (one for each eye). Sticky tac up the neck, and i always put on a dowl, but pensil or the like will do. Spray. Leave to dry. It dries quickly, but i always leave it over night to make sure. Remove the tac over the eyes.
Added benefit is any glossy or semi glossy paint that existed before, won't be there now.
