The Eagle Force final production heads are painted and imo SO much better. I feel like I'm buying an "adult" collectible. That "peach skin" looks too toyish and the details are hard to get just right. It makes the eyes not pop. I shouldn't feel like I'm only getting a slightly better product than Hasbro with this line, but I kinda do so far--at least in look. The build quality is definitely better than Hasbro. If they could just address that one thing, it would make a world of difference in the product.
I think it's a matter of execution either way. Some factory-painted heads look great. Some slop on so much paint you lose a lot of the sculpt detail.
