I know it feels like a derp question, but this definitely makes me second guess buying stuff online. Plus I felt that I wouldn't get the figure, but i ended up getting it after agonizing over it lol

I'm quite fussy about paint apps on figures, I'll always search the pegs until I find one that's just right. With some figures though like the new Bespin Han Solo where bad hair paint is the norm I try to fix the problem myself with model paint.

I used to not care what the figure looked like, I am no stranger to paints so I tend to fix them my self. With 2 kids now daddy time is taking up my fixing/ customizing time. I have probably picked up close to $400 worth of marvel movie and universe figures in the last month. The western Chicago burbs must be getting the 5000th figures to pass through that one painter in sector 7 G. Stuff is just getting sloppy.

Yup, the head is first and foremost. Then I move onto checking for stress marks, breaks, scratches etc. Then onto paint, I know I get more then a couple looks but, I don't care.
