I finally got all 3 SRO packs from the TRU in Milford CT, and for 8.99 each. I am very happy I found them except I have to say these have the worse paint applications I have ever seen. There were 3 of each set, on all 3 of the air command packs, wild bills glasses are painted flesh. The IG pack and the sea command, all the figures have very thick paint, so much that it looks almost like they were dipped in paint and allowed to dry. I was going to keep these sealed, but I must open and get the paint brush out. Has anyone else seen this? Also, anyone seen the holes in the figures heads. I got an airborne and matt trakker the other day at Target and where the flesh was painted on the heads there was a hole in the paint. I am going to bring them back and try to get better ones.

that is what happens when you let China make your toys; they are horrible at it. My SRO paint apps are pathetic. Quality control is so disgustingly sad that people do not care about anything.

That's why I passed on all of them. I could do a better job with crayons.

wild bills glasses are painted flesh.
I hate when I fall asleep with my glasses on that happens to me all the time. Very painful! |

I cannot decide who gets first place, Falcon's skin meets beret in the middle of the forehead or wild bills flesh glasses?

I picked up 13 of the SRO I.G. sets and they all seem pretty good. The Wild Bills are a little rough though , I only picked up a few of those though and they were ok. The worst paint has to be Ace with the bright eye and bushy tail look.

I remember when I was just getting out of the army they were just experimenting with human flesh covered watches.

The purple is applied a little thick on mine and the ones I saw. Not too bad, I think wild bill and deep six are the worse. Deep six's legs have so much green paint you cannot see the details. It looks like someone dipped them in paint.
