[QUOTE="redkobold, post: 1117078, member: 2585"] [b]The Paint Jobs Make Me Cringe[/b] I am really of a mixed mind. My initial response to the prepainted figures was excitement until I saw the first few pictures posted then I became totally disinterested. In the last few weeks I became excited again and I even bought InQuest #102 that has pics of all of the figures. After studying it for a few hours, I am disappointed again. The paint jobs are so horrible that I cannot even tell if the sculpts are good. I was considering buying them and touching up the paint jobs or stripping them and completely repainting them. The 2 factors that have me still interested is that you are guaranteed to get 1 rare in each pack and I like most of the rare monsters. Although I have to say that overall I dislike the random packaging. Happily however they will be selling the two non-random packs that you can see the contents of later. The second factor is what I consider the fairly low cost. Is anyone else on the fence with this? I am really concerned that this product will flop unless they quickly increase the quality of the paint jobs. With the figure base color black, they should look into having a drybrush technique rather than the blob of unshaded, unhighlighted paint that they currently have. :confused: [/QUOTE]
