Series 2 Monkey VS Robot Available Now

TGB - yep, same here, very sloppy indeed - for me it doesn't detract from the spastic, I just think I was expecting it to be a little better.

And for the smell, that has to be the best thing my nose has sniffed in quite some time.

You are right!

I just looked them ALL over real good and to be real honest...quality control (if there is one) should be fired! This series is not worth $12 a pop when normal spastiks only cost $8.00 each and are way better painted!

Just my 2 cents.

Well guys, I got my Series 2 MvsR spastiks today, And I must say I am dissapointed. The Characters/sculpts are great but the Paint is horrible. I take mine out of the tubes for display and they were all very poorly painted, unlike any other spastik I have ever bought. They all seem to be hand painted to correct mechanical error, but the Humans do a horrible job. Real thin layers of paint and you can see the plastic underneath, sloppily done,not staying inside the lines. then I take my monkey baker out (poison) and they touched up his whole back with a totally different shade of blue than he was originally painted in.

By far- the worst paint jobs I have seen. I hope funko reverts back to the old company/or technique of painting them. When you pay $85.00 for a set you expect quality.

Thanks, guys for sharing that information. I'm on a low budget at the moment, but I was going to try to scrape together enough for the General and the Assasin with cupcake, but I think I'll pass.

I save those bucks for the Terrible 200. :mrgreen:

I hate to diss FUNKO, the sculpts/concepts are awsome. I just feel the paint jobs were waaaay under par. I wish the paint looked as good as the other spastiks.

I have to agree. After reading these posts, I took 'em out of the tubes and was less than satisfied. On the Monkey Baker I have, his fingers are all painted Green from the Green Muffin base. :roll:

And like you guys I have many other problems with the Paint Jobs. :x I'll get over my frustration.
I just hope future Sp's don't end up like this.

THEGODBEAST · Postby **THEGODBEAST** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 8:36 pm

Gosh...

I hesitated postin' a rant about the poor paint quality on these, however, it looks like I am far from alone on this one!

I hope this isn't representative of Spastik's paint jobs to come. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I WAS GONNA BUY THE GENERAL MONKEES. BUT NOW AFTER READING THESE COMPLAINTS, I DON'T KNOW.

Postby **Blues84** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 9:11 pm

I got mine, and I agree with you guys. They look pretty bad. Maybe If I put them with the first wave noone will notice :|

I just feel jipped! $12 a pop for a crappily (<-is that a word?) painted $8 Spastik (what Spastiks usually sell for).

:cry:

I hope Mike sees this thread...not that it is necessarily his fault...however, I am sure there is some sort of quality control with Funko and boy did they ever miss on these 6 Spastiks! :x

Well, I was about to post how happy I was that my series 2 came today. Then i read this post and went and checked each one. And I see what yal are talk-in bout now. Mine have been touched up with dif. shaded paint too. I can't really tell with them in the tubes, but out of the tube the mistakes are obvious.

But I still like them

MyRidesHere · Postby **MyRidesHere** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 5:25 pm

Am I the only one that with all this being said still cannot wait to get my order in and have these in my collection.

Postby **itchykorean** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 5:27 pm

I have to agree. The sculpt/characters are awesome; however, the paintjob is subpar. The worse ones being the Space Monkeys. I wonder if the folks at Funko switched manufacturers? On a bright note, FBR did an excellent job getting them out to us funatics in a hurry. :thumbsup:

Postby **BobbleheadFreak** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 7:30 pm

I Still would recommend them :thumbsup:

I was looking at them closeup and i could definitely agree with several of you as far as paint quality goes but having them in the cases next to all other MVR stuff, I'm happy with mine! The Generals Rock!

blackrosedistrict · Postby **blackrosedistrict** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 11:50 am

i too was disappointed with the paint jobs. these will be staying in the tubes for sure. i love the designs..but the paint really ruins the 'up-close' experience.

i definitely don't think i'll be buying a complete series all at once again. or at least not until i read reviews. i kinda of wish there was some logical explanation to dissuade any kind of hesitation on my (or any of ours) part to buy further spastiks.

*of course i'm only speaking of hesitation. i'm in too deep to stop now!

Long Live Funko!

Are we going to see glows. I would like too seeing as how I missed out on the first batch. But maybe since they had problems last time they may not. :?

I have a feeling they are comming. Just wait it out.

Ok I just got my set and am finally getting what all the rubarb is about. The pink and purple monkeys look ok to me but like its been said i see the thin coats of paint on the poison monkeys and my dictator looks like he got into a paint ball war. hes got dabs of yellow dabs of black dabs of etc. all over. What up wit that! Still very cool designs though and I don't regret getting em. but I was like woh! when I opened the box.

Sorry to get everyone in an uproar...

It just sucks...because the sculpts ROCK, but, the paint truly SUX!!!

I wish they were factory sprayed and a little more glossy...

I hope the next run of Spastiks are MUCH better!

My set's pretty decent. Not the thickest paint jobs I have seen, but fairly consistant. Guess I lucked out.
