Surprisingly, neither of the LCSs that I visit stock these figures. I'll have to go the mail order route.

Gil, you are correct. We have it on good authority that the CITADEL paints from GW will fix any minor blemishes. I will try later and get the code for Dr Strange yellow for you.

Thanks Steve, that would be terrific! Its a bit more than a blemish though. The paint is off down to the metal so I'll probably have to chip off a bit more of the paint until its flush, then prime it, then finally paint it the right color.

I just got Invisible Woman and Medusa. I suppose I will have to break down and get the entire FF now. Both are very nice.

Speaking of paint --- added Spider-Man to the collection today, and, of course, at once had to paint the blue black. "Paint" in a figurative sense, since I used the PITT brush pen, which I learned from a similar customization of the Angel gives a nice sheen to the finish.(On a larger scale -- I ordered a 12 inch Catwoman figure from Entertainment Earth. This is one of those with a "real cloth" costume, and in all the pictures she's shown unzipped about down to her navel. Well, the doll arrives discretely zipped up to the neck, which made for a moment I would definitely not have wanted captured on tape! Not only did I have to unzip the little lady, but there were strips of black cloth folded out behind the zipper, compelling me to dig around inside her tunic folding them back where they belong. If she were 5.5 times the size, perhaps this would have been less creepy, but…)

LOL JB. I know I felt a similar way with one of my daughters toys once. Innocent in context. But out of context?

Gil, finally made it home and checked my paints. CITADEL COLOR 61-10 (Sunburst Yellow) will do the trick on Dr Strange.

Yes. I take it you've seen this. I coudln't tell if it was bent and chipped or just chipped. I thought it was well packaged, Doc was even wired into the package. I think maybe the finger was pressed against the plastic too tight.
EDIT: Typos

Interesting. I think when it was wired in, the two plastic containers became tight around the outstretched hand and bend it slightly, breaking the paint.
I'll let ya know how my repairs go.
