Recently picked up a open box Jetstorm from a antiques mall (along with a bunch of other RID figures). All sales are final, so im stuck with it now..
If you look at the attached picture (stock picture, not a pic of mine, didnt get a chance to do it), the two circled areas in red, and a blue metalic PAINT.
When i opened it, i saw that it was flaking off.. some areas were fine, others its was all cracked and even breathing on it would flake some off.
I can only assume that it got some moisture damage or something on it to cause this. Figure is fine otherwise.. tight joints, etc.
I guess my only option at this point would be to repaint those two parts? it was too flaked to put like a spray varnish over to hold it down.
Anyone else that have this one, have this problem?
If its down to the repaint part.. may just leave it as 'battle damage' for now :P and possibly do a TOTAL repaint custom of the whole thing at a later date.. if i ever finish my last repaint :P
