My figure arrived today. It's nice, but some aspects are disappointing, particularly the sloppy paintjob and the chest plate's annoying straps.
Can you expand on the sloppy paint job? I heard the boot straps weren't the best. anything else?

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Episode VII - Snowtrooper & Officer
The buttons on my figure's chest plate weren't the best. Not terrible, but not clean. Also, this is probably unique to me but my figure has a spot in the lower right hand corner of his chest control panel where the paint is messed up; there was some excess dried there, and when I removed it, it left an unpainted spot.
This is all in addition to the rather sloppy bootstrap paint.
The black bar above the visor was a bit uneven, I managed to make it somewhat better by scraping some of the excess black paint with an exacto knife.

Sloppy paint seems to be the common complaint with this particular figure/set. That's very unlike Hot Toys who usually do exceptional paintwork. Sure, there's other QC problems with their figures but paint usually isn't one of them.

Yeah, I have a Kylo Ren and Spacetrooper, and was very surprised by this figure's comparatively poor paintwork. I really didn't expect this from them.
Glad to see pics of this guy. And thanks for the details about the paint, Napalm. I had a feeling the visor (black line above) wasn't painted very cleanly. Still looks like a pretty cool figure.

No problem. Yeah, he's still a good figure, but the paint makes it feel as though it was somewhat rushed. I'm going to see if I can find the right shade of white and possibly correct that spot on my figure's chest plate.
Also, has anyone else noticed yellowing (I don't know what else to call it) on the straps?

Love these guys. Amazing figures. No sloppy paint job on mine. Couple quick shots. No crazy poses.

Just an FYI, ToyAnxiety has these figures parted out now. I just picked up an extra rifle with extendable stock so there's 3 left.
Was hoping for the binoculars but they went fast
I do wonder if the stormtroopers will change for each new movie like they did with the prequels. More $$
Argh, but we shall see.......and I just want an updated Biker Scout to look as cool as the classic. These new costumes are nice, but nothing like the classic stuff
