Default Re: Last CE/LE/SE you purchased or got

As requested, I have gone over this with my good eye and found the things I consider below par for a premium stature

Over panting of the skin, paint on the inside of his ruffle



Dent in his knee (looks like from casting)



Really rough casting defect and shiny part where something has touched the paint when wet



Yellow part looks like glue on the base (unless that is the colour of the unpainted statue, where something has touched when wet and pulled the paint off)





Casting defect joining 2 stones together (sharp to the touch)
side A


Side B



Casting defect



Casting defect - repaired prior to painting or after, can't tell
When light shines through I can see it is a repair as the repaired tip is a different colour and has a different translucentccy
And the repair does not have the embroidered detail



Another rough part,
Looks like part of a fingerprint in person but didn't pick it up well with camera(right lower part of PIC)



Another unpainted section (yellow/creme/baige )



The red and white striped bit was attached wrong (roughly the right place butthe join was meant to hide under the lip of the top white piece and it doesn't, in the flesh can see the join and the gap)






Unpainted part (on the brown strap in the top middle, their is a white unpainted strip)
