NECA TMNT HEAD KNOCKER (bobbleheads) paint color match??

LEOTMNT · 01-17-2012, 05:14 PM

hello all!

i have recently acquired a new set of the tmnt head knockers through a collectibles shop online. all turtles but ONE arrived in near mint condition. there were all mint in box but i had read somewhere that some of NECA's products shipped poor quality so I'm not surprised but at a loss to fix it aside from buying another since the shop i got it from no longer has them.

so my question is how to fix it rather than try and buy another...i am artistically inclined and am willing to buy some paints to touch up the mask and eyes and some larger green portions unfortunately.

if anyone can respond back with a paint match (of which i couldn't find) it would be greatly appreciated along with any general advice on the matter!

thank you all fellow brethren!!

Can you post some pics so we can see the problem?

LEOTMNT · 01-17-2012, 06:51 PM

surely can just let me get some on my computer!

They still have the head knockers at Hastings by my house, all 4 of them. I'm tempted to buy them but can't really swing it right now.

i have another showing a chip in the sculpt, on his arm and hand but that doesn't bother me as much as the zombie face haha.

LEOTMNT · 01-17-2012, 07:18 PM

They truly are awesome sculpts, and they sit bad as...with the exception of the Leo i have the other three look outstanding. But Leo is my favorite so its really pissing me off! haha definitly a solid buy though for me atleast cause i always was a fan the old mirage art.

My god how Neca could put out such a horribly painted product and people still purchase them baffles me. Did they paint that in a factory that has no lights?

LEOTMNT · 01-17-2012, 07:42 PM

you would think so! i was hoping this wouldnt happen to me after reading some reviews but cleary...it has. maybe its a zombie varient??

Brother that is a HIDEOUS Leo! It looks like some a**hole got wasted and went to town. Of course it was your favorite, lmao...

LEOTMNT · 01-17-2012, 10:39 PM

This isn't funny brother!! Well mildy maybe. But yeah figures, I saved Leo to open last and imagine my thrill when I got to him and everything went horribly horribly wrong

Phelan · 01-17-2012, 10:44 PM

What's up with his swords?

Forgive my cackling brother! It is quite the distressing matter!

LEOTMNT · 01-17-2012, 11:21 PM

They come separate for you to insert them into predrilled holes on the hilt, but guess what they don't fit! Not on this sculpt atleast... but clearly this one has it's faults

Most likely going to have to buy a new one and hope for the best but I'd like to try and salvage This one first it's been such a pain in the ass ordering these since no store by me has them.

Bro, one thread is enough.

LEOTMNT · 01-18-2012, 12:19 AM

Nah man it wasn't considering I didn't even get an answer yet and it kind of applies to both areas in Which I posted it. Annnnd I'm trying to get some quality exposure so I'd appreciate it if ya eased up off my shell about it!

*Powder* · 01-18-2012, 12:34 AM

1. It's considered spamming which is against board rules.
2. It's not even been 24 hours yet, chill. You'll get a response.
Annnnd 3. I will never get off your shell.

LEOTMNT · 01-18-2012, 12:44 AM

Haha ok fair enough with spamming, i was unaware of this, it wasn't intentional but like I said I felt like it pertained to both and always see people upset about things in the wrong spot so I figured I'd be safe but duely noted!
