Chad says he doesn't know if he would buy this thing again, although since he posted the pictures, he says that Figureprints is sending him another figurine, so maybe this was a mistake (there was also apparently a spot of paint missing on the figure's arm, and that seems more like a flaw in the specific figure than the process). Either way, while it's cool to have your character in actual, real 3D form, maybe the Figureprints folks don't quite have all the kinks worked out yet.
Figureprints figure underwhelms, will be replaced

Seems he (and others who bought them) got jipped and need to complain to someone!
Hope it all works out!

Looks like total crap. I would drive over where they operate and smash it on the front door. Than poop on it.
Thats just me.

wow, that looks A LOT different than what they have in their gallery. I hope it is a manufacturing error, but even if it is- they shouldn't have shipped something that bland

It looks like they printed off pictures of the armor on a shitty printer and just glued it to a poorly made doll, i went to their website and i seriously thought it was paper craft shit. I would love to have a kickass figure made but wow i would not pay money for the crap these guys are making, and that makes me sad lol.

That's what all of the pictures in their gallery look like! That seems like the "quality" product they are advertising, so that's what you'll get.
I agree, it does look like armor and such printed on paper, than glued on. In other words, really unclean and unprofessional. It's neither bright, nor vibrant; just disappointing.

Wow that looks awful. At least I can feel better about not wanting to blow $100 on that :P

Man, I hope they get this all fixed for you. I'd never heard of this site before, and I think I would totally go for it if I hadn't seen your rather disappointing model.
Keep us posted. I want to see if they'll make it right and awesome like it should be. :)

I've seen photos of other figure prints and they all have that dusty look to them. This isn't the first time someone has complained about the quality.
My advice...don't waste your money.

That's the quality of the color 3-D prints off those printers. I've been using them for years and all the colors come out looking like that. The images in their galleries I bet were just plain resin and hand painted.

Has anyone else received their FigurePrintâ„¢ yet? If so, get some pics up for us, and link here! I would really like to know if this is a unique problem, or something everyone is finding when they open their new toys.

No, it's not a unique issue. I've seen about half a dozen of these and they all look that bad as far as the dusty/foggy quality goes.

I won one of the earliest lotteries on FigurePrints. The first one they shipped me showed up broken so they replaced it immediately with a new one. Both of them look exactly the same as the pictures posted here... dusty and drab. I was thoroughly disappointed. If the reader that sent you those pics is getting a new one just because he's causing bad publicity then you bet your sweet @$$ that I will be asking for my non-dusty, vibrant-colored replacement, too.
But a word to the wise, until they shake the dust off the process don't spend your money on it.

Finn,
I am not getting a replacement just because of the quality. If you look on her left arm you'll see a big white spot. It may look like glare on the picture but it is not. It was the first thing I noticed when I got my figureprint. The thread they linked on WoW forums has my "review" of it.
