Here He Is! Love Him! Arrived in perfect condition. Packing was crazy and wish there was better Styrofoam but statue arrived in perfect shape so I cant really complain

Wicked. Does he come with a color box or no? I remember all my previous ARH statues didn't have the same. Has that changed?

@MrSki Your gonna love him!

@V8 No color box. Came in two large brown boxes. Inside of each brown shipper was another brown box and it was hassle sliding them out. Then I had to slide out the Styrofoam from the internal brown boxes. That was a hassle as well. There was no spot to put your fingers to pull and get leverage so I was wiggling them out with the box upside down. Then when open I got Styrofoam floating all over the place. I don't need an art box but some nicer Styrofoam would be helpful. That's the only issue I have with this.

But like I said, not really complaining because he arrived in perfect shape I'm very satisfied and am eager to get another XM piece.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up on the unboxing. Will do it in a carpet free Zone. That way that nasty loose foam is easier to clean up.

No problem. Worst part was when I walked to the crash can in the other room the ceiling fan blew em all over the place and then they went everywhere again when I tried to put them in the trash can. I think I swept four times.

Just received my Ares and he is magnificent...he's huge and so awesome looking. Just a quick once over and it looks like he's painted really well. Only issue I have is the long mane extension on my Ares head is broken...Alex, do I contact you for a replacement head? I can send pics if need be...

ARH hit this one out of the park...

Unboxed him today and have the same problem.

I've emailed Sideshow and I'm waiting for their response. I fear I will get the same response you got.

Alex can you help out?

Dang, sorry to see that V8! Yeah, mine was broken in the same place as yours. I hope you have better luck with SS than I did...but either way Alex will for sure take care of you.

Thanks buddy. They just got back. Offered me the same ridiculously low amount. The other alternative is that I completely destroy him and they will refund the $742 I paid them for him. That obviously doesn't include customs which I had to pay which was close to $100 including ad-hoc charges FedEx applies. Thing is I love this statue! Even if I go with option two, I loose money.

Alex, can you help out?

Good Luck V8. Im sure they'll take care of you

Wait a second! They want you destroy ARES because the head sculpt was damaged during shipping?
Is this the same kind of brake we saw before?
Please send us an email : [email protected]/ [email protected]
Send a picture of the issue. Im not sure if this justified the destruction of the entire statue

Yep Alex, V8 has the same break in the head sculpt as I did. I guess SS offered him the same credit amount as well. Since he's international SS wants him to destroy the statue rather than having it shipped back which is crazy to me.

 

[khrisc]

isnt the head removable?

 

[V8_Club]

isnt the head removable?

Yes it is. They don't have replacements so either I accept the measly credit or opt for a refund. If I choose the second option then I have to destroy the statue.

Hi Alex, yep the break is similar to what yeek had. Picture has also been attached. I will email you as well. Thanks.

Thanks buddy. I just emailed Alex. Issue is Sideshow also want a reply before the 31st [emoji20]

It looks like a clean brake can you not glue it back?

As a last ditch scenario I might try but at $520 + $211 shipping, I would prefer a perfect statue.
