Think his Spidey was ok, the wall had a big gloop of glue under the decal.

Great vid, I think you have me convinced to not bother demanding a replacement and just return it. My paint was worse then yours, I had the dark blue all over the light gray. I didn't notice fitment issues as I only looked at long enough to take a few pics. I was offered replacement hands right away with $65. I now have a return label which I guess I will be using. Make sure to show us your destruction vid.My late Apocalypse review, before I have to destroy it

It feels cheap. The whole head feels cheap. Tomorrow I'm gonna see if it floats in water.....honestly, that's how light it is.

Might as well send it back. Why the hell do people keep settling for subpar? I don't get it?
Would anyone accept this for any other product at this price range?
I was planning to do a destruction video for it, maybe hit it with a car at 60mph lol

Don't assume that everyone's is as bad as yours. Many problems are widespread but that doesn't mean there are no quality Apocalypse's out. Mine is fine outside of a few ery minor paint flaws that I only notice just about never.
Head looks great. I don't spent much time cradling my statues in my arms so how it "feels" means little to me. I care about how it looks and the head looks superb. Fussing about a peg is bizarre unless that fussing has to do with its functioning properly.

The peg DIDN'T function properly, that's why I was fussing about it.
SS being very picky about what deems worthy for a replacement is evidence enough they've likely had many collectors contact them for the same issues. And if that wasn't enough SS have admitted in emails to myself and others that all replacements would have the same issues as mine. Thus they would only offer a $65 credit. There might be a hand full of good ones out there, however the consensus for most is that they did not meet expectations. Those are hardly odds to brag about.
Man some of you collectors will just take anything SS gives you hu?
Collector mentality on this forum:
Rusting pins....don't worry about it
Arm doesn't fit....don't worry about it
Hose won't fit.....don't worry about it
Paint slop everywhere....don't worry about it
Base sticker won't stick to base.....don't worry about it
Can't wait to order my next SS statue...SS rocks!!
Some of you willing to accept any of the above issues for a $600 statue need to get your heads checked. Honestly, it's not healthy.

I was surprised how lightweight the head was when I first picked it up.
It does feel cheap.
But it looks good and that's all I care about in the end
I was unhappy that I couldn't get a replacement but some ppl have it worse. Other than a few things I could probably fix myself, this statue is amazing. Next to Batman (which I've had since Jan) this gets the most "oohs" and "aaahs"

Haha I wouldn't doubt it man
Couple small blemishes on Spidey that I wasn't thrilled about but the factory worker that slopped on my wall decal on the base must have been wasted because there was a glob of glue running down it. It was a mess
Not sure how quality Apocolypse and minor paint flaws can be used together. Wouldn't that be an oxymoron?

A) How did the peg not function properly? The head stays where it's supposed to... I know your cannon arm peg sucked, which sucks.
B) I didn't say a dang word about any of those other issues, in fact I said you have some legitimate issues. The peg on the head just isn't one of them.
Your leap of logic that I or others are willing to accept anything because we don't all meet your level of fussiness is entirely illogical. You would probably look at my statue and be abhorred because of these issues that make your hypersensitivity and collector neuroses, which we all have to a degree, flare, whereas I look at my statue and feel extremely satisfied with it.
I don't have any rusty pins.
My arm fits perfectly.
My hoses fit perfectly.
I have minor paint imperfections which I have noticed for .5% of the time I've spent looking at my statue.
My base sticker will never be looked at.
I spent $600 for a statue that I thought looked great. I got a statue I think looks great.
Yep. The head IS light. But seeing as it is heavy enough to not just float away, I fail to see how it's weight has the slightest bearing on the enjoyment of the statue. It may FEEL cheap, but it doesn't look cheap. And last I checked the purpose of statues is to be seen, not felt. If anyone spends an inordinate amount of time feeling their statues... well, you know what, I'm not one to judge another's fetish.
Unfortunately, that is true. But what I find comical is that the people getting these super minor issues are just as loud about their complaints as the people who have some really major issues, like the wet paint ones with all the bubbling.
Because the definition of the word "quality" isn't "perfection".
Good post man. The greatness of this statue totally outweighs the flaws IMO. Its an epic statue!A) How did the peg not function properly? The head stays where it's supposed to... I know your cannon arm peg sucked, which sucks.

Fair enough Surly. I think you and I just have a different definition of quality and that's ok. To each their own. I'm glad your happy with yours. That's all that really matters in the grand scheme of things

Lol at the pic. I'm not settling just because I want the character in my collection. My standards are higher than that. If my replacement is bad, I'll take the refund and move on. I sent Galactus back due to sloppy paint but my Apocalypse was terrible. I can't stomach a $600+ statue with a bunch of flaws. To each their own though. SS loves collectors with low standards. I'm surprised SS doesn't try harder to at least help out the guys who order a lot from them. Maybe they should implement a platinum service once you spend X amount of money.

I do enjoy this thread throughly at times.
BTW Chris I thought your video review was absolutely hilarious
