I just got my NECA Foam Bat'leth preorder from the post office…here's the review:
At first, it was looking nice, when I opened my package, but on the close inspection… NECA, does the word quality control ring a bell????
The paint job is sloppy, I got brown spots on my Bat'leth and streaks and spots, I got two little masking tape residue, that I can't remove.
IT IS NOT WHAT YOU ADVERTISED on the web, you greedy Ferengi *******!!
If I order a replica in that price range, I don't expect total flawlessness, but at least a decent quality, that I can show my friends, a paint job that doesn't have spots or streaks and trimmed foam borders. I'll have to refurbish it myself to a better paintjob, that means, covering the fake leather handle, light sand it with 600-800 grit paper, trim the few excess foam and respray it in silver, eventually seal it. And it stinks of paint solvent
I really should rethink about selling my precious real steel bat'leth with the autographs of the three Klingons I got. But I need the cash…
And I always wanted one, which I could swing with… *hrmpf*
