See, that's the other part of the problem. The sculpt IS way off, but a decent paintjob might have helped to swing it back into being at least semi-acceptable. But they screwed up the paint as well, so now it looks like Ripley was laying out on the beach with no lotion for six hours and her face got horribly sunburned.

That said, the real shame is when you look at pics of Ripley in Joe's gallery where he bathes her face in colored lighting (see below) and it essentially washes out the hideous shading on her cheeks, forehead, and chin. Like I said, the sculpt actually becomes semi-acceptable in that instance. Too bad NECA seemed determined to do everything in their power to completely fuck this figure up.

I wonder if it's possible to use alcohol or something to remove the shading and actually redeem the figure slightly?
