I hear there is an original version with nice paint applications on the face and a reissued version that is rather plain. Is this true?

I believe there is. But I think the difference is there is more of a red glow around his eyes. As well as a little more brighter yellow. I have the more plain version but it is not too bad. And I believe the original is harder to come by.

The paint job does vary on the figures though mine was good. As for the melted arms question, i'm not sure what your talking about. My figure was great. However, I will say that this line which I think is a winner for the most part, does have some QC issues going on. Thankfully if you do order a figure with some issues you can return it.

This is supposed to look "sandy" so there is lots of variation in the paint. That's not a very good pic, but if you're concerned about the paint, buy it in store. If amazon is selling it for less, target will price match if it's a) sold by amazon (not 3rd party) and b) in stock. At least then you'll see what you are buying.

We think it was a new version. My son says there are lines on the saucer section that are not on the original model. He says it matches the remastered version of the Enrerprise.

As far as I know, this is the original design. If you wish to be patient and have the money, there will be a large re-release pack of the original dolls sometime in 2015.

This picture is much better than the actual one. The one I received does not match exactly with the picture here, but the pattern is similar with similar shades. I have the photo of actual painting...but don't know how I can attach with this post

From everything I've read, they are the same machine, just painted differently. I just ordered the Vintaj edition from Amazon for ~$55. Seems to be the same as this but less $$. I also ordered one die & the platform for thin dies for a total of ~$77, including Prime. I'm just starting with all of this so hope I've used the terms correctly! I'll get my order Wed., so ask anything else after that! My plans are to use it for metal blanks/jewelry.

Yes, and it actually looks legit. I expected a knockoff, it's pretty close to the original.

Hey Dale, There actually isn't an improved reissue on this figure. As much as I've hunted I haven't been able to find anything else. There are some tutorials on the internet on how to fix the problem. If you're the least bit handy you can totally do it If you need I link to the one I used you can let me know and I'll hook you up. It is one of my favorite pieces in my collection and well worth the work to fix it. Sadly, everyone I've ever talked to said theirs broke given enough time. The product should have been recalled, no questions asked.

Yes for some reason there are two versions. The one I ordered was painted correctly, but there have been many complaints from the Transformers fandom that have gotten the unpainted weaponry. I ordered the frustration free packaging option and mine was painted. Perhaps you ordered the standard packaging option?

I find it to be superior to the original. Both the color and coverage are more consistant with the Venetian. I also find the color it provides my fairer skinned clients is more natural.

I don't have the box anymore but when I first got it it did have Korean writing :) I think it's pretty close to the real thing if it's not. I used it and it really does share te same light weight formula and grey tint as shown on YouTube bloggers

Hi DaleAs far as I know there was/is only one version figure. I understand that there are a number of complaints about a fault with the arms so if there is a reissue it may be that the arm problem has been addressed. The one I purchased is still in the box so I don't know if the arms do break or not.

Yes, it is the new version! The chin protector stays in place and has never come off so far! We are using it daily!!! I definitely recommend this face mask!

My impressions have been a very light feel and not oily at all. The "very white" or "very pale" version was (obviously) more reflective, otherwise I'd say the original is quite matte. I haven't broken out from it.

No, this a new figure with more details and it is a little bigger then the old version. The quality and finishing is great.

It's NOT the original Wave 1, but it is authentic. It's the rerelease from 2013.
