Oh, got a response. They don't wanna exchange it again as they checked the figure themself and there were no problem. But the hair is clearly loose and she got a white neck. =/

They have offered me refund though.

Hmm... Not the coolest of situations. I guess I'll keep it then, would you have done the same?

EDIT
Oh well, I'll keep it. I think the color might be correct, and I guess I'll just hide her ears, as it's clearly a miscolor (blank/white) behind her ears. The hair is loose but I'll just not touch it.

Are the Gray Fox and Snake figures out in the US? And if so, where to buy them?

Infinity & Beyond. The reason the package were open were because she had checked the figure herself and says there's nothing wrong with it, but she clearly didn't check it enough then. She have an all white (totally blank) neck behind her ears (does yours have that?) and her hair is about to fall off.

I'm thinking of getting a refund yea hmm..

Just examined mine and took some shots. Barring the small lines from like assembly and painting over it, which now I feel could've been better polished with primer before painting, it's perfect.

I don't know if you notice the clear color difference at around her ear / neck?

I guess I'll order a new one at DVDCineShop through Amazon UK ASAP.

Looks like messed up paint defect or there's adhesive leaking out compared to mine. Get that refund and let's move on.

I'm hyped for Bishoujo Alisa.

Yea, I'll get a refund on Monday. And I will order a new one from somewhere else. Where did you order yours? I have already pre-ordered Alisa and Asuka lol.

EDIT
Already ordered a new one at DVDCineShop through Amazon.

Thanks for your photographies by the way, it gave me peace of mind. :)

Np man. Sucks to see this kind of thing happen but they're kind of unavoidable sometimes. These companies hire factories to assemble it and it may not always be 100%. Small defects once in a while are expected but it's pretty disheartening if you start collecting something and your first items just happens to be an unpleasant experience.

I'm kind of bummed that it have been a month and I'm still trying to get one without all those errors but at least they have shown good customer support and I'm of the patient type. I just don't understand how she could have taken it out to check on it and not noticed the weird colors and the loose hair. Oh well, here's waiting for a 3rd Christie Monteiro. And I'm still as excited.

I have a lot of boxed figures unfortunately. they will stay that way until I get a nice display case so they dont get dust all over them.

Awesome display.

Also hate you. I want Joker DX and Bank Joker for a while but they were always too high in price. I came into the collecting game too late. :p

Here's to DX TDK Joker 2.0! :)

I just ordered the God Eater Alisa figure. Also, bought the game because I hate having a figure of a character I don't know anything about. Pretty fun game so far. I haven't bought a figure in years, so I'm looking forward to getting it in July.

Received my X-23, Poison Ivy and Christie figures today. The Christie figure's paint job isn't up to the same standards as the Poison Ivy and she appears to be only partially painted on the back of the neck at the hairline. Honestly the figure's skin tone isn't as dark as it should be, maybe a few coats of paint were missed?

Damn, sounds like you both got one from a bad batch. Does it look worse than mine?

I have the poison ivy, I think she looks fantastic.

These may have been assembled and painted in different facilities.

Every time someone posts pics of Christie I want to get it. I don't know anything about Tekken, but of all the Shunya bishoujo figures, I think she has the best face sculpt.

You guys see the MGS Hot Toys pic?

It's a magazine scan, so I'm not sure if I can post it.

I'm getting both, just hoping they will have a camo / zombie variant for Big Boss with the croc cap. ;)

EDIT: Hm, don't really remember this outfit in MGS3, but maybe I just forgot all about it.

I would love a figure of Big Boss when he's old like in MGS4 (and in MGS1) with the brown jacket and all, see that would be pretty boss.

Fantastic customer service by DVDCineShop. They sent me a mail with photos and even checked that the skin color is consistant and that the ponytail isn't loose - great service. I would recommend them above Infinity & Beyond so far.

The Poison Ivy is the best paint job I've seen since the Kotobukiya Ninja Gaiden Rachel figure.

Hmm, I've never been a fan of the Sneaking Suit, shame they didn't do the Olive Drab or Leaf camo. Still, that Snake looks amazing.
