Sideshow doesn't owe anyone any thing. Too many self entitled knobs on here.

Enjoy spending 2 grand on a custom.

Have you checked out SF??? If you haven't yet, BELIEVE IT OR NOT... It is way worse.

I gotta agree though the sense of "YOU OWE ME EXACTLY what I WANT!!!" is worse in this thread then I have EVER seen it.

I think I am going to order Batman Keaton and Superman Reeve because I want the top of my besta to look like this.

That looks cool!

They went WAY easier on Batpit than this forum. Plus Spidey posts there less.

Superman forums this is taking a beating

Freaks forum it's taking a beating

SF it's taking a beating

Facebook it's taking a beating

When is the last time a major PO went up that was so poorly received?

Doomsday felt bad and walked away though, so there is always that.

If I ordered this I would be loving the negative comments.
The less pre-orders the lower the ES.

Gotta say it looks fugly to me but I don't collect DC anyway.

Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

sorry to hear about your poor experience..I hope SS hook you up with the Hot Toy of Reeve one day

Oh I wouldn't go as far as to say this was a poor experience. I'm just a little disappointed is all. Was really hoping to like this piece more since those movies were great to watch in my childhood. No big deal, I'm sure Sideshow will find a quick way to get that money out of me shortly *cough* Flash *cough*.

So all the flaming going on over this piece is somehow MY fault because I don't post over there??? What the hell is wrong with how your brain works?? Did you have a Traumatic Brain Injury lately??? Oh damn??? Did you?? Now I feel bad.

Pitgate was just as bad over there as it was here. hell there is a WHOLE THREAD over there of people modding their statues, with the VAST MAJORITY of them talking about and showing how they fixed their pits. It only got more pages here because Mistermark, CBG, and JAWS must have posted 50 pages of whinning between the three of them...lol. All of that is fine by the way because people who want to mod a statue are ENTITLED to do so (heck they can even complain that they feel they need to do it), and people who bought it are ENTITLED to make complaints if they choose. Hell people are entitled to complain about a piece if the so choose. However, what people AREN'T ENTITLED to is to BLAME SSC because SSC didn't make the piece that they were IMAGINING or looking forward to, and THEY HAVE DECIDED NOT To buy it.

"Why, why SSC did you make a piece That an don't WANT to buy"
"This was suppose to be MY Superman, YOU SUCK"
"YOU ALWAYS SUCK AT THESE (I only have 20 other SSC products in my collection that I LOVE)"

Honestly, I get why people don't want to buy this, I disagree, but I get it enough. What I DON'T get is the degree to which people are taking this piece PERSONALLY. Like SSC has DONE something wrong to them PERSONALLY.

As for you assertion that no other piece has been so universally panned as this one, well you want to hear it, but you are just WRONG about that because, and again you won't like it, GL was TORN apart. I know I know you will say that EVERYONE who likes that piece is just justifying their purchase, and the they are all blind, but that is just your arrogance talking. It is a FINE piece that people ripped apart based SOLELY on the basis of bad pictures, and I was the WORST. At least I have confidence to admit I was wrong.

Now TBOlt, I don't know what I did to bring on THIS level of ******** feelings from you, but damn you are just looking like a cyber stalker right now... Heck you are doing it in TWO forums right now.

I think so many people are attacking SS because they had envisioned the Reeve PF as their grail piece for many years and it didn't come out looking anything like their minds thought it was going to look like. I think the SS bashing is a bit extreme, but I do understand when you want something so bad for so long and it doesn't come out the way you wanted it to, you are going to feel really bad.

The best ones are people proclaiming they will boycott sideshow and never buy again. 2 weeks later they throw up their next list of Pre orders

I do get that. I really do. BUT whenever a piece goes up there is a chance people won't lime it, and as much as this was going to be people's "grail", it just isn't what they want. It isn't personal though, and this looks a lot like the initial tease, and I didn't hear EVWRYONE ripping it apart then.

Oh god that is my favorite...lol.

Whining about whiners...

The overwhelming majority thinks this looks horrible, hope you have some confidence left bc odds are good you'll be admitting you're wrong about this SSC disaster as well.

The weird thing is the people that don't like this that continue to post in this thread everyday.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

Why is that weird? Many have waited YEARS for this piece. Just because they are disappointed, upset, angry, cranky, etc doesn't mean they have no interest in the piece or the discussion about it. The fact that this is CR Superman takes that disappointment to the highest level. Sideshow fanboys trying to put this fire out don't have enough buckets unfortunately.

Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

Dude I hope those pics are so AWESOME they make JAWS CRY!!! LOL

It could have the greatest paint apps every, with the greatest face sculpt ever and I still would not get it because that pose just does not do it for me. So unless SSC revamps the pose I won't be crying.

I don't get why everyone thinks I hate the face sculpt. I don't think I ever bad mouthed it. I did put up the one "zombie" photo but chalked that up to paint and lighting. The I posted the best pic of his face sculpt so far. So I think I have been more then fair.

I know you are joking Spidey and that is cool but I think there have been a few that think I have been dumping on this piece when I have not even come close. I could rip on lots of aspects of this piece. It's an easy target IMO. But there are some fans out there and since I am not getting it I won't just bash on it. But I am disappointed with SSC decision so I am going to make some comments and hope that SSC will make better decisions in the future.

The Only time I will ***** endlessly about a piece is if I am going to get and hope that SSC will change something (Comic Batman and Superman) or if I received an item and it did not come out like it was supposed to (has never happened).

I am being polite here because it was a piece I was very interested in when it was first announced and got excited about the Head sculpt preview. Then the preview came and the full reveal... Many have complained and then there has been the usual dismissive Haters gonna Hate comments. I can't stand when people argue like that. Defend your position rather then dismiss the opinions of others. The old argument, "If you don't like it don't order it and be done".... Is old also. Same could be said for those who like it and do order it.... It's ordered so be done... Never post again.

Fact is this has been a poorly received pre order all around. It's really too bad because there were a lot of people who wanted to get this. SSC would have killed with this release. But someone in production screwed up (I see there is a job opening.... Interesting)

But I honestly really do hope that it kicks *** at SDCC.... I want those who ordered and are on the fence about it to be happy with their purchase. I hope in hand pictures make me say "OH I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED" because I don't wish a bad product on anyone just so I can be right.

I will always state my opinion and I will always defend it. I think people for the most part here have been polite on both sides. Sure there has been some bashing on the piece but that is the name of the game in art. Happens to Comic book artist all the time.... You can even read those comments in the Letters from the fans section in the comics.... Some of those are vicious.

Anyways Congrats to those who PO it

Spidey already likes it... Which is cool. So SDCC won't change his opinion.

Complaining got a light up feature added to GL correct? The thing most point too as a successful addition. I don't think they will change it, but if nobody is buying they might.

So can I assume Spidey is getting this? I mean it's just as crazy to come on defending a piece that your not getting. Pretty easy to tell others what to do with their money/collections.

I think an awful lot if disappointment comes from those who wanted a CR Superman and simply aren't going to be getting one based on how it came out. Doesn't mean they are not interested in a CR Superman though.

If they really wanted to love this piece or if they have wanted it for so long and are utterly disappointed I think they have the right to post in this thread as much as they like. The vast majority of people who dislike this piece have stated their views and gone into detail on why they don't like the piece. There hasn't been that much trolling "this piece sucks, anyone who orders this is stupid" type of things going on here (I'm not saying it hasn't happened at all). But what I have seen is if a person doesn't like the piece and gives reasons why they don't like it they are still being called trolls. This is ridiculous IMO. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion without being a troll.
