Do all Funko Bubbles have this?
« on: August 29, 2013, 11:06:37 AM »
So I took my Bubbles Funko out of my Cabinet and my BF began to study her and he notices her eyes:

Her left eye. Seems normal. Right? Yep it does. But then her right eye...

Not sure if you can notice it but thats why I made the pictures large. Ah well it seems like her right eye I sorta "fixed" You can clearly see paintbrush stroke over the white of her eye. While her left eye seems well. Normal and Printed. I got her MIB from Ebay. So do all Funko Bubbles have this or is this just a strange cage?

I don't own any funkos, but at the first moment it looked to me as someone was fixing it with correction fluid or something :shrug:

Huh. The eyes on my Funko muffin pony don't really look like that at all. Yours are definitely cuter. I got mine when they first came out so I wonder if they started to paint them to look more accurate.

Looks like she got a little touch-up. Who knows if that was Funko or the seller though. Although part of me feels that Funko doesnt really care when their ponies come out with mistakes :P

The earlier in the run the Funko ponies are, the more issues they seem to have. Looks like her pad printed eyes were poorly touched up which seems to be relatively common.

Edit: I mean touched up at the factory. Considering how hilariously sloppy the paint on my first run Rainbow Dash was I don't doubt it happened there.

How odd! It does look touched up but if you got her MIB that seems unlikely. As they are so loose and easy to remove from their packing however, perhaps her eyes were very scuffed and the seller fixed her up before listing her?

I have the same issue with one of my SDCC Bubbles and my first release Rainbow Dash....

It appears to me that when the machine that prints the eyes messed up, when the items were being QC'd, they would touch them up by hand with paint and brush.

I was quite upset when I noticed it on my figures as well. I believe its a factory error that instead of just taking it out of production or shipping out as is they decided to fix.

Oooh I'll go check my SDCC Bubbles in a sec! I do know that mine is almost entirely missing her eyelashes on her non-display side, though, so I doubt there are any touch ups on mine xD
