Is yours crappy looking? Mine looked OK upon basic inspection.

What's wrong with it? Maybe some pics?

I heard some of the initial ones were pretty meh. From what I understand they re-cast a few pieces in metal because the resin was warping like crazy.

I'm getting one soon, hopefully it doesn't look like PP took a dump in a box. I'm really wary of their resin/plastic.

I wish I took pics preclean up but I'll post some tonight / tomorrow.  Just really frustrating considering the quality I got used to with their metals (excellent and almost no flash / only one screwed up Troll for Boomhowler) and their plastics were about as bad / worse than Forgeworld quality.

Is it fixable?  Sure.  But it's a ton of scraping / cleaning and in some cases, crease filling.

I hear you. The flash on the plastic jacks is kind of out of control already. Although I have to say that my AFG wasn't too bad. Well, until I knocked it off my counter...
