shipwreck has got to be the consistently-worst painted figure ive ever seen from a major toy company.
the other night, at target, i found one so bad, i couldnt even get mad. his moustache was repeated to the right of his correct one. toys r us has three of them--yes thats right tru FINALLY got some single figs...figs that most of us have had for 3 months now--and each of them were awful. since he hit retail, ive probably found (and had to pass on) probably about 10-12 of him. other figs i hit perfection on the first find...stalker, beachead, buzzer...not poor hector. shipwreck has always been a fav of mine, and, to be frank, its quite the pisser that ive yet to own him because of bad paint apps. come on hasbro...a little quality control, huh. sorry, dead horse, i had to do it. |

Mine had a big ol' paint drop on his nose, it looked like a big mole.
When I opened him up I took a razor and scraped off the paint. But I have noticed their faces are weird, most of the other ones I've seen with terrible painted faces were the Troopers.

i hate to pull a hayena on this thread, but if anyone finds a horrible shippy? send him my way. trying to make a custom of ME.
back OT, i lucked out and psyk over at JBL found me a decent one. not perfect, but nowhere near as bad as i hear he can be. really sucks because he's one of my favorites also. obviously. goodluck gang. maybe it will improve as he shows up in the latest wave. still need to see whats in store for his comic pack, too. maybe some head swapping will be the fix. though i know that doesnt help the MOC collectors much.
