A masterpiece that is unfortunately let down slightly by the known paint issues

For me paint peel happened on the bicep when I bend the arm, the joint is so much tighter than ironhide the forearm piece rubbed too much on the bicep section and some paint simply peels off clean like if no primer was used and they simply painted on the unclean plastic, the bond between paint and plastic is touchy on certain spots and other parts (hidden joints) the paint app is clearly too thick hence can rub easily, It's could be a bad batch and honestly one can't tell until it happens

there's other really tiny ones which i can see from panels pushing into the paint but those are so minor i can ignore





So i simply removed all the paint on the bicep piece and gave the white plastic a clear gloss polish finish and it looks just as good



While slightly flawed it is still one of the best looking piece in the collection, maybe its the color combo or just the general look of the figure, it really pops on the shelf
