It’s definitely a step i should start taking now that my shelves are becoming filled with more & more custom painted figures. Especially because I enjoy grabbing them for a few pics every so often so some get handled a decent amount. I’m also experimenting with camo now so should get them protected on the occasions that I do a good job painting. Haha.
Really only had two that I’ve dealt with paint chipping but now as I get more ambitious with the full body paint jobs, I did start to wonder how they’d hold up in the long term. Red Star was only the third figure that I did a full body paint job on so these recent customs have all been a good learning experience for me.
I'll also add in that MTG figures do not require as intensive dremmeling/sanding as do regular GI Joes. I've rated them thusly, from most sanding required to least:
Star Wars
GI Joe
BFS
MTF
Marvel Universe (I've done a many customs with no dremmeling/joint treatment at all with no paint rub issues. Except maybe the shoulder joints on most male figures, these guys don't grind that much).
Of course, that can vary based on specific figures within a line, as well.
