Thanks guys.
So do you think I should return it to secret base for a replacement? Its not really noticeable from most views, but when its 'heavy lifting' a flast surface its very noticeable. Its slightly shifted not only vertically but also horizontally. Would you guys get a replacement? Don't know if im nitpicking.

@hockeyflow: I think the reason that most of the people are complaining is that they are likely Hong Kong residents since they already have the figure in hand. Igor has been displayed at Toy Hunters and ton of exhibitions this last year prior to release. Most locals got to see the actual prototype many, many, many times. One of the things that many locals commented about on the Hong Kong forums was just how nice and weathered the paint looked. To many, that was a main selling point.
When the figure was released the difference between the prototype and the in-hand figure was pretty massive. I'd go as far as saying more so than any other figure previously released by HT. I spoke to my usual resellers and many are sitting on a lot of stock currently due to this issue. Many even expect the prices to fall below cost on this one. So i guess it might be a case of not missing something that one never knew existed. Overseas buyers will undoubtedly be very happy with there purchases once they get them. But to those who have seen the prototype i guess they are left a little wanting?
It all works out for the consumer though, lower demand should equate to cheaper prices down the road.
The only problem though is these exact complaints are made with every single figure so in an instance when it's legitimate it falls on deaf ears.

For the price paid, I'd return it and get a better one. In the end, you need to be happy with it.

Haha people complain about the paint on pop figures all the time and I always wonder what buyers expect for $9

I would return. If not you would regret it later.
Just got the SSC Processing email:
Your pre-order of the Igor - Iron Man 3 - (MMS) 1:6 - Hot Toys - Sixth Scale Figure (902129) is expected into our U.S. warehouse in approximately 5-7 weeks. The anticipated arrival window has been expanded due to significant delays at the Port of Long Beach caused by the dock worker contract negotiations

WOW - that's sooooo cool! I keep refreshing my email, but no mail.
It means, "See you in March 2015 Igor"

I know other companies are re-routing shipments through other ports so hopefully Sideshow can do something similar

I got the same email, but I also got another email a week before that said the Batman 89 1/4 scale I have on order is also pushed off due to the LB issue, and that they had no dea when it would be available. Two days later I received another email stating that the Batman 89 would start being charged on Tuesday 13th of January. I'm guessing I'll have it Wednesday. Or Thursday. Go figure lol.
Just checked and I got the initial Batman '89 email apologizing for the delay last Monday, and the second shipping/billing info three days later on Thursday. Obviously a container or two was released to SS mid week.
