1/6th Hammerhead Figure

[darthmadonna]

I got the exact same response from my inquiry about the cup. I responded with a bit of a sharper tongue though. I had pointed out that I was unaware of the website description, that I was going off of what my box says is included. I explained that they did not read my email very carefully as that what the thorn in my side was that I stressed out thinking I lost the cup because my box says there is one. I did say that the response also left me more disheartened as it seems that sideshow is aware of the error but they thought they could cover it up by changing the website as they stated in their email.

Now my question is what do you do when you go to resell this item in say 20-30years? The box says cantina beverage cup included. So technically this is not complete. Again I agree it is juts a piece of plastic but it is not cool to change rules like that.

You can snag a loose Greedo drink cup from Toy Anxiety if you really need to have one.

Psh! You want a cup? Buy the Nook. I mean, who's gonna have him standing there with a cup in his hand, no sign of the Cantina anywhere around? Does Nadon seem like the type of Ithorian who drinks his brews standing up? Hell, no! He sits at a table, nestled in a nook, and makes those cocktails come to him, man!

Got Hammerhead today and was surprised how heavy he is. It is a very nicely done figure indeed although when I squeezed the head I expected it to squeak like a dog toy.

Rex comes tomorrow, can't wait!

I still want one

 

[Weezer]

I'm not sure why I even care or want to know, but I'll ask anyway...

Why are some posters "pooh poohing" other members for wanting all the parts that are listed clearly on the package? I mean it's there in plain sight. What's the big deal if people want to vent about it? Everyone paid good money for the product.

Since the nook comes with three glasses, why don't the people who ordered the nook give the extra glasses away to the people that wanted one for their Hammerhead figure??? It's no big deal it's only a glass.

I agree with the group who feels that if something is listed as included on ANYTHING you buy, you are entitled to that item regardless of how inconsequential.

Personally, I do not need or want to display Hammerhead with the cup so I will still be purchasing this figure.

For those who want to sell this figure down the line, I'd print this thread to prove the cup issue for any buyers.


Friggin' cup, I'm still deciding if I want to get back on the EX list for the staff.

 

[Weezer]

To be honest, I could leave the staff. It doesn't really resemble something owned by a "passive farmer" or what ever they claim he is.

Why give him a rusty blaster, tattered clothes and then add a shiny golden staff that looks as if it could part the ocean? It's just my opinion though.

I'd rather have a glass instead... at least it's an accessory that could've been on screen.

Well, for one the blaster is probably a nod to the Kenner figure, the clothes were based on the costume along with Ron Cobb's original drawing of the character, and the staff is a Hasbro EU thing. The cup is a non issue, if anyone one wants one so bad...here you go.

Lack of empathy.

 

[Buttmunch]

I too am a believer the cup should have been included. It was an advertised accessory for MONTHS and the freaking box the product comes in says it is included. It should be included. If you bought an item in the store and it says it includes something, you expect it to include that item. Changing the website doesn't change what the box says. They really should have fixed that error if they had no intention of including the cup.

I don't mind when they throw in previously unannounced accessories, but if they leave them out, that is just bad form.

 

[devilof76]

Is there a spot in the accessory tray for it?

 

[DCFett]

It's too bad such a GREAT effort by SS would be tainted by a mistake that could have been circumvented with an email and a black out sticker ala Hasbro! Great figure nontheless and a stellar effort in adding some flare to this line!
Thanks SS!!!

You should get one!! You can put him in your Jabba scene.

Do it! I put myself on the waitlist on Saturday and I just got an email saying my waitlist will be converting soon.

Thanks for the advice.

I just have to decide how I will really pose him. I kind of want to get the chair and table and have him just sitting there, like in the movie. The pole is great but I'm not sure I'll actually use it. That, plus Boussh, Gammy and Bib Fortuna all have staffs of sorts so my "creature line up" can start to look too similar in pose and stance with poles.

Well done Waller... your purchasing lately has been completely devoid of fail

 

[Shropt]

Is there a spot in the accessory tray for it?

My question too. Not trying to beat a dead horse but I'm wondering whether it was a cut/paste error or they reallly decided at the last second to not include it.

 

[Darth Waller]

Well done Waller... your purchasing lately has been completely devoid of fail

Thank you, sir! It's getting fun to be a collector again.

 

[Natrix]

It was already mentioned but there is no spot in the tray for it.
