It's really been frustrating finding them with good paint jobs or boxs that aren't smashed.
I had to pass up 2 more Raph's today.
found a whole set today and I can't bring myself to purchase these, every single one of them had derpy eyes....sorry just can't get past that

All the Mikey's I've seen are terrible which makes me sad. I've gotten and repainted Leo and Raph, and I'm surprisingly happy with the figures. It'll be couple weeks until I get Mikey and Donnie.

There's not a lot of paint apps to mess up ! Haha!
Just looked mine over. They all look ok with nothing sticking out that I can see and all boxes are minty.

I mean I'm ok with the eyes being off just a little, but it seemed like all of them had 1 eye straight forward and the other one was off to to the right or left

That's the biggest issue with these. The wonky eyes they all seem to possess, also the fact that the masks have misshapen eye spaces which just make the eyes worse. I guess the intent was there, but the execution is bad.

None of my Leo heads came out like that. Honestly though I stuck with its initial head sculpt. It's definitely very Leo.

Ok, cool, really top notch. I actually had interest for a long time in these but due to the high prices on ebay with all fees to EU included and _that_ kind of quality I'm seriously out.

I guess I'm good enough with the "movie 1" ones that cost me less than 2 of the movie 2 ones.

That is actually the exact Leo head I was talking about. But the others are all much better. It's just the one head that is off. You can see how the bandana and eyes are just slightly skewed from the beak. But the other three heads don't have that issue.

The skewing is an easy fix.
The heads were manufactured in two parts so that top section can be turned, by hand.

Ah. Did not know that. Good to know! The ones I've seen all have decent paint apps except for one Raph. Alkwere gone today except the LAST Raph, so I snagged him. Never know when or if they will get more around here. I still haven't seen the new movie April or maskless Casey yet either.

Maybe they mean in their area, because I've not seen them in PA yet.
