Not sure who makes this item. I had to return my item due to the paint was bubbles as if they
painted over a badly prepared surface. This goes back to where and who makes things. Penguin Magic
was great about me returning the item. The post office was not very clear on levels of shipping
things and postage was extremely costly. Likely my fault for not understanding. Penguin Magic
refunded everything. Customer Service is well worth making Penguin my first choice!
Had the
paint not been a problem, this item for the price still would be a good purchase. I will ask Penguin
Magic in comments section to inspect contents before shipping. The item was boxed by the maker so no
one knew it was an issue.
John, you wrote: "Had the paint not been a problem, this item for the price still would be a good purchase."
So you're saying that everything else about it was ok, the die and gimmick were good, it all worked fine , EXCEPT for the bubbling paint job on the box (or were the bubbles a problem on both the box and the die and gimmmick ?) But it was ok as far as the working ? I'm asking because I tend to repaint my props anyway to fit my own color schemes, so I would likely repaint it (but if it has bubbles or any other kind of uneven surface it's a lot more work ... I'd have to strip it completely , sand it , re-prime , and then repaint ... and not sure I want to go to that much trouble even though the price is low compared to other die boxes).
Thanks, John , for answering my question by email.
(for anyone interested , he said everything else appeared to be in good working order on this apparatus, but the surface of the gimmick had uneven paint bubbling.)
Who makes it counts.
