I just received a loose figure from ebaythat was described by the seller as being in very good condition. Well that could not be further from the truth. I received a dirty, smelly figure that was repainted (and badly). The figure in question is a Classic Superstar Sensational Sherri, the eBay seller is isyih98. I voiced my displeasure with the seller and he simply asked if I would accept a refund of half the sale price. I think he should have refunded me the entire sale price and the cost to ship this falsely advertised item. Don't buy from this guy, unless you want a figure that smells like an ashtray, and was repainted by preschooler. Here are the pics:  You can see the poor shape that corset is in.   Note the poor paint job on the braw straps.  Poor paint job.  As you can see the poor paint job rubbed off on the inside of the corset. This is far from " very good condition " as deceived by the seller. |

I'm not discrediting that the seller misrepresented the condition of the item. That's for sure!
But that Sherri figure is a known POS. Not the design. Jakks did an excellent job on the likeness.
I'm talking about the paint quality. Very poor.
Put it in a box with other figures and pull it out a week later... it will look just like that.
Well, maybe not as bad as this one, but it does not hold up well.
Reminds me of the RAW Tenth Anniversary Goldust.
Another one of Jakks worst.
95% of them loose on the market are in terrible condition and not because they were played with. The paint job easily rubs off and smears under heat.
That's what happened with that Sherri. It was left in a box with others, maybe outside in a hot shed, rolled around and got all tore up. That's one you got to handle with extreme care.
I have several of them with the top smeared off on the inside of the corset and the straps are messed up too. Never played with. Just from being stored in a box with others unprotected. Lesson learned.

Thats true. Somebody on youtube had a review on this fig & barely opened it & some paint was already rubbing off.

The name sounds strangly familiar. Report it to Ebay, show them the pictures (and screen print where he says its in good condition) and try to get your money back.

ya like all said, sherri corset basicly ate her bra paint off. if that makes any sense...... lol just like ecw ariel, & other divas that have that plastic corset. next, i cant explain why it smells like an ashtray except the seller is a smoker. cause the jakks factory figure smells like strong as abs plastic  i have abunch of loose mint figures. and as soon as i open them, straight too a zip loc baggy it goes(since i dont have room at the moment to display them all). and if u was too pick a random figure of mines, & open the bag up. u can smell the factory fresh smell! lol sorry for going abit off-topic. |

The seller falsely represented the item as that looks to be in "played with" condition to me.
But for the paint....I had that happen to my Super Crazy figure. The paint like...melts or something. I don't know how to describe it.
I'd accept the partial refund or just resell it.

How much did u pay? No matter what happens with paint over time it is still false advertising stating very good condition!! Nothing worse than opening that parcel and disappointment  Turn a bad situation good and turn it into a custom |

Nothing worse than opening that parcel and disappointment Turn a bad situation good and turn it into a custom I paid 11 bucks plus 3 for shipping. Not much, but the thing that gets me is the fact that I had not purchased on eBay in over a year, and this happens. Makes me worry about the other figs I have coming from other sellers. I'd love to be able to make deals here, but most guys on here are looking to get over in the classifieds. |

I bought that fig loose before yrs ago from ebay and yes, it's known that the figure has a bad paint job. Something to do with the rubber corset.
I also got that Sherri moc though for some reason.

My sherry was brand new, and where they put the vest on wet the front of her bras is exactly the same as that (not quite as bad).
