Sideshow
bombshell Captain Marvel has all to be a hit or miss figure on the painting
department. I say that because of her uniform full of stripes, that besides having
volume also are curved and grow thinner, in other words, a pain to paint. To
make matters worse the high contrast between golden and blue makes any flaw all
the more noticeable. If you pay close attention to the prototype pictures, even
there, there are small painting flaws what causes me great concern about the
mass production of the piece. After all prototype paintings are meant to be perfect.

I want this
piece badly. Ex version, of course. I think overall, from base to alternate
head, this figure to be awesome but I need to see the buyers' final product reviews of the
statue to make my decision. On a bright side, already knowing the stripes to be
a particularly difficult part to paint and one that can ruin the figure, I believe Sideshow’s
quality control will take all the measures they can to assure the fabrics do
this right, otherwise they will receive a lot of returns of the product,
something I bet they don’t want. So, again is a wait and see figure. And that’s
what I’m going to do. While trying to make more money on eBay to buy her!
