    Neca - Crimson Ghost

    Broke open one of the new Neca Misfits/Crimson Ghost figs over the weekend. Wondering if anyone else thought the paint on the lower half (teeth & jaw) of the face was terrible? Sloppy and distorting the iconic skull image.

    It appears as if they didn't follow the paint mask on the prototype or as depicted in the promo photos. Bought one of each and they are both gonna have to be repainted for proper inclusion into Monster City.

    Otherwise a pretty cool piece; the body is a major improvement over where they started with the Django figures, but hoping they keep making improvements (hip articulation in particular) moving into 8" POTA. Was assembled with several body parts turned backwards; had to strip him down, re-orientate and change the hand positions to match. Clothing/accessories are solid… like the little wire details in the cloak front.

      If there's one thing that disappointed me about Evil Dead Ash, it was that the prototype head paintwork was great, the actual finished head...not so great, especially the eyes.
      They need to work on that.

        any reason besides gouging Misfits fans that this figure is 8 bucks more than the other NECA figures?

          Got the black one in the mail today. Great figure, but I agree with the paint issues, his teeth look odd. I may touch it up, but will most likely take the lazy way out, and leave it be.

            Yes, I picked up a set and the mouths are identical. Both look bad. If anyone touches these up, please post.
            I plan on trying, but probably not for a month or so.

              I found at least eight yesterday, both colors. Every single one had screwy teeth. I grabbed the red one, passed on Texas Chainsaw, Scream and Rocky. I have a head to make my own Scream somewhere, the Rocky expression just didn't do it for me. I still need to track down Eddie.

                Maybe the worst looking figures I've ever seen. I don't understand the paint app at all, they look like factory defects. $40 too.

                      I took a close look at these yesterday, TRU had a ton. And part of the problem is that the teeth are supposed to be off-centered, but on top of that they messed up on the white underneath the bottom teeth. That one little mishap turned these from pretty cool to pretty awful pretty quickly. I was hoping to pick one up, but at $30 it was an easy pass. I'll wait for Amazon to have them at a reduced price with free Prime shipping.

                          I guess I should have attached bigger pics, but if you click on one, you can go back and forth...

                              Looks like the paint mask was off and there's not enough white on the chin part.
