I'm 47 years old and have spent over $3000 with Sideshow over the past two years. Do those stats qualify me? Just to let you know, I give credit where credit is due...good, bad or indifferent. You may jump on everything Sideshow puts up for sale but I for one am an educated consumer. If something Sideshow sells isn't worth the price, I won't buy it.
This debate was started when SIDESHOW threw their loyal customers a curveball when disclosing right before shipping the fact Boba was made of injected plastic instead of their previous PF mixed media materials of cloth, polystone and metal. Why did they wait till now? If they were upfront with the fact they were using injected plastic, and the price reflected the materials they were using for the final product, this debate wouldn't even be. I LOVE Sideshow's products by purchasing as much as I have over the past two years but I'm not ready to marry her and hand over the keys to the mansion just yet.
And in the spirit of fairness...the Ghost Rider Exclusives, both Biker and Old West versions were OUTSTANDING Polystone (item was hand cast yet polystone wasn't mentioned as the media) and mixed media including a metal chain for $200 each. KUDOS to Sideshow for these GREAT works at a reasonable price. Two of my most favorite pieces to date.
