The paint work on the one I got is pretty good, except on the shoes it is a bit messy. The colors of the skin and hair on the actual figure are quite different than the picture and the face looks really different, but I guess it's to be expected that it won't always look quite like the same. However overall it is a relatively well made figure for the price and it is really cute. (One thing I'd been confused about is on other sources it says the dress can be removed so that she is just in her swimsuit, however there isn't anything about it in the instructions and I don't see any way to remove it with out the risk of breaking something.)
