Lack of quality, Physical Greymoore CE

Im very dissapointed from the quality from the Greymoore CE figure which arrived today. The quality and material from the the Summerset CE was much better.
For me it looks like few color layers are missing completly.

The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

Rulz of Morrowind:
  • The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
  • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
  • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
  • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
  • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
  • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
  • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
  • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    Production quality of the figure itself seems poor too. The Features all over seem "blurry" and lack any crisp definition, as if the molds were of very poor quality. I'm guessing this figure was made in 3D rather than physically sculpted and did not translate well when the molds were made. If it was physically sculpted, then they chose a very poor quality company to produce the final product. As a collector of figures of all types, I find that pretty disappointing. I didn't buy it, but still... physical CE's over at other companies usually have way better figures than this.

    ETA: The coins seem to be missing a lot of the patina they're advertised to have too :/

    If not for the shine it could resemble stone but it just looks like pure plastic figurine for £0.99.

    I am so glad I didn't have the funds for physical CE.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno is this how the product supposed to look like? Was it a manufacturer error maybe?

    The Fallout 76 issues is the reason I didn't get the Physical version of this. I'll never get Physical Collectors from anything Bethesda. Hell, I feel bad for any company that works for Bethesda

    Not a great idea unless they use the proper paints. Paint can potentially peel or eat away at the underlying material if you don't know what you're doing when painting certain types of figures.

    There could be youtube videos and guides out there for the proper paints and supplies for this sort of thing. given this is a collectors item its wise to be careful with it so the Vampire Lord statue doesn't get damaged. But he/she could likely do it in a way that it can last for many years to come.

    Seems similar to the difference you'd see wit the lighting of the character creation screen to what the actual character looks like in game.

    From a quick twitter search there seems to be some inconsistencies with the quality of it.

    This one here looks much better:
    Or maybe it's just the lighting? I'm not sure.

    Either way some other people have reported similar results to OP's.

    Yep definitely! Though many of the best methods might require the purchase of an airbrush to get the smoothest, most even look without brush strokes/loss of definition in the statue.

    FFS. I really wish the crowd of "It's not Bethesda" would just STOP being so confused. Zenimax Online IS Bethesda. They ARE the same company and get paid by the same company. Have you ever noticed ESO live streams they all wear BETHESDA shirts? The company looks like this

    Zenimax Media => Bethesda => Zenimax Online (ESO and other "Online" products)

    We good now?

    Whao, that's...

    ...

    I am sorry about your collector's figure. From the picture the model quality looks alright, but the paintjob is literally consists of one single paint. You'd probably achieve better results with a mix of 2-3 "Citadel Contrast" paint. I suggest to buy a few and paint over the pain.

    On the other hand the difference between the finished product and the marketed one is huge enough to warrant a refund, at least in my opinion.

    Probably a mix of this and the original version having higher quality materials than the ones they sent out. The original picture does look a lot darker as it's surrounded by a lot of dark materials, and then the one the OP posted seems to have a lot more light in it.

    What did you expect, it's another Bethesda quality product. You got what you paid for. It's appearance and quality is working as intended. Hey, at least they didn't give that out for free like Greymoor chapter lol.

    I have mine on top of the bookcase behind me, next to the other ESO figurines, and rather like it. It has the look that was described in ESO Live apparently. The coins are excellent, surprisingly heavy and fit very neatly into the metal case provided for display purposes. The overall packaging was certainly secure, it took a lot of effort to get everything out of the box!
