If
you have already purchased the 12"
Imperial Stormtrooper from Sideshow
Collectibles, chances are you may already be aware of the paint-chipping issue
on the hands. Many of the figures' hands were cast in white plastic and painted
black and easily chip when another object brushes against them, including
the Stormtrooper's own blaster rifle. But Sideshow's excellent customer
service department is sending out replacement hands (this time cast
in black plastic) to those in need. Click
through to see an exaggerated photo of the damage that
is possible with the old white cast hands.
Look how easily the paint chips off!
