I got mine today, no defects.
Black dots. I hate those with a passion because I can never get rid of them and can’t cover them up. Last time I tried, I tore the vinyl up and still didn’t get it out.
Holding my breath.
Mine has a small bubble on the big toe, but no black specks.
If the bubble is bad, I’d ask for a replacement. They can grow over time if you do heat set.
Agreed, a bubble is not a work around flaw
But they won’t guarantee with heat set paints
The bubble is small, and it didn’t burst, so you can see it, but can’t feel it. I do air dry, so I don’t have to worry about issues baking. If it starts to look problematic, I’ll dig it out and fill it with heavy medium. I had to do this inside of Laura’s ear.
Mine had a small hole on the right leg above the knee with a small spot the color of tobacco juice…
Cleaned it out and put acne cream and letbsit in sun all afternoon…will seal before painting and see how it goes.
No black flecks though
Inspected mine, he looks alright!
I have one black fleck. Was very relieved to see that it was near a knee, so no big deal. The vinyl is soft.
So dang cute
He reminds me a lot of loulou. I love his/her sweet sleepy face
A hole??? Can you get them to replace it?
Not a hole all the way thru…i guess you could call it a divot…I’ll just fill it with thick medium before first bake so it doesnt grab the paint.
Its small…about the size of the end part of a toothpick…im guessing from where a piece if metal may have poked it coming out of the mold…that brown stuff was probably oil.
Look good !
Sadly after waiting so long I can’t start painting him until next week, as I have a lot on my plate right now.
