Do the figures have some kind of small extra block looking things on top of the legs under the crotch? Can't tell if the two "blocks" sticking out on Scarlett's gray top leg/butt cheeks are supposed to be there or annoying flashing stopping her from fully sitting down.

My Scarletts can sit fine. In looking at the top of the legs there is definitely some sprue marks on them. It sounds like the factory didnt cut those off on yours. Here a couple of pics. If you have a pair of nippers or an exact knife you should be able to cut those off.

I finally got around to painting the heads and necks of my Flint and Lady Jaye. Tried to paint the arms too but realized it just rubs off when you try to articulate them, so I scraped it off. Flint seems to have absorbed some of the pigment from the paint because his arms turned a bit reddish.
Was planning to paint Zartan as well, but if I can only do the head and neck.. I dunno.

Yeah, here's some pics. You know, I realized that is not so much that they aren't painted it's that there isn't enough pigment mixed into the plastic itself. I have lots of other figures with nice flesh tone plastic. I don't understand why S7 lets this happen; are they saving money somehow or is their factory just doing it on their own?

*Super 7 approves final samples for production *Factory goes into production based on wrong sample or some other misunderstanding occurs that leads them to produce figures with bare plastic flesh *Super 7 receives production sample and says WTF IS THIS?!? *When faced with error, factory tells Super 7 that the solution is something that will cost Super 7 an untenable amount of time/money *Super 7, faced with a business decision they do not want to make, chooses to ship the incorrectly produced figures I'm not saying any of these steps along the way are okay, but I don't think Super 7 acted with as much malice/incompetence as many people want to believe. I think a miscommunication led to a massive f-up and they made the decision that was best for business at the time. |

Pretty crazy that these don't even have uniform peg cavities. But I guess it shouldn't be too surprising considering the wide variation in how and whether paint is applied, and general QC. I can't recall another mass produced toy line that had this kind of systematic issue.
For me, this line works despite itself! |

Kind of annoying but it's not like I have her sitting much as she doesn't really fit in the VAMP without alot of fudging |
