So I got apoc yesterday…I will say it appears I am in the minority bcz my piece is perfect…like just fantastic…not a single blemish, paint blur, etc…the only thing I noticed was when I was unpacking the arm attachments there was liquid residue in the plastic packaging; so when I saw this i instantly thought wet paint/qc issues but somehow it turned up flawless. based on the smell alone however you can tell that these things weren't given time to properly dry, and thats the main reason why, imo, some of the paint issues are arising. I am VERY pleased with the overall piece; it looks great, is my biggest pf to date, and has a presence like whoa. Id highly recommend it!
In regards to the debate about qc issues and SS/XM and refunds, I would say this: if ANYONE orders a piece, from whatever company, they're entitled to a perfect piece. No flaws, nothing, and if you don't like it, the company should bend over backwards trying to fix it and remedy the situation. Its as simple as that. Idc about your factory, chinese workers, any other excuse like costs, etc. I pay money, you give me statue…everything else is on you. We pay good, good money for these pieces, and yes they should do everything in their power to ensure we get a great statue, but if/when we don't, they should offer more than a $25 discount. Get me a replacement that has been checked, ship it out express, etc, but fix it! Simple as that.
