Would like to confirm if the specks of black paint are part of the design or paint issue that would warrant a replacement?

It's not a defect. It's generally taken to represent 'cosmic weathering'. Some pieces have more, some less- that's just the nature of something painted individually by hand.

Though I suppose if it bothers you enough you could always contact them and see about a replacement- but it might be a crapshoot if the new one will be better or worse overall.
TBH, those are some of the larger spots I've seen on this.

They all have black specks, some more than others.

Edit: ...snap!

that looks sloppy. i'd ask for a replacement.

 

[nocturmac]

Just waitin for their reply, but i guess they will just give the usual "individually hand-painted" answer.

Im wondering if there is a way of covering or removing the larger spots.

Dang Comiczone, I had to open this thread on my phone as I couldnt see the pics at work...ouch! There is no excuse for that going out like that.

For this kind of QC you will get a replacement or refund. If anything bad it will be we don't have replacements but at least you will get the money back for sure. That's what I hate about trying to complete a collection. They sometimes offer refunds or keep the damage statue only. I don't want the money if I'm a collector. I need the statue to finish my collection. So glad I cut way back to avoid so much headaches. I guess I was also a lucky one who got a good one. Shocking I know, but thanks SS for giving me a good one.

I wouldn't be so sure. They will put it down to 'individual hand painting discrepancies' in my opinion.

This isn't about you (for a change). Saying yours is good doesn't help.

Good luck with contacting SS, but I have a feeling they will just say it is individual painting and not defect...

Now that's just nitpicking. The specks are meant to be there Noc

Actually i did not notice them until somebody pointed it out and asked if its part of the design.

Im not sure if the close-up pics just made it more prominent and look worse. I don't have other close-ups pics to compare that is why Im not sure if its that bad.

Oh well...

I see nothing wrong with that. Mine had that. Some people return items for all kinds of non issues it seems.

Thanks! Seems the specks are there to stay.

What if the reason for the specks on some pieces is from one painter that sneezed during his work?

Then we would know each statue he worked on lol

The next question would be 'why was he snorting black paint?'

 

[nocturmac]

Is there a way to display both heralds together?
