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

I'm not really bud..? Not about the piece itself.... I just like what I see, and I have taken a few shots for saying so. Some were on SF, and it spilled over to here. Stupid of me really.
Hope it arrives in one piece and you enjoy it mate.
Don't let other peoples opinion dilute your excitment...
But they are entitled.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

Didn't realise this forum was only open for positive opinions.

People who are unhappy with the prototype are as entitled to post their opinion as people who like the product.

I have no interest in DC statues and very little interest in their characters but I am a Sideshow fan. That's why I visit threads about items I have no intention of buying.
It interesting to read different opinions. I keep an eye on products and peoples reaction then when items start shipping I also like to hear opinions on how they turn out.
Quality and comparison to the prototype makes me more confident about the items I am waiting for.
If everything was positive and people weren't allowed to express any concerns we would never get the full picture.

If I don't like a piece I'll state that but I'm not going to post everyday that I don't like the piece.

Lol... If I get a Supes it will be the Comic Book PF. I like this one, a lot really, and I guess I like enough to defend it or at least to recommend people wait a bit, but if I get Supes it will be a companion to my Comic Batman.

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

I will ALWAYS have that confidence now. I can and HAVE been wrong. I dare ALL the guys hating this to do the same, if when it comes out they have CHANGED their opinion. This histaria was going on in the Batman PF thread when the first iPhone inhand pics came out. It was the end of the world, and SSC SCREWED EVERYNE. THEN berserkers and rising stars pics came out, and then well, WHERE did the haters go.... They slunk back out of the thread and very few of them had the balls to come out and admit they were wrong. I got that confidence Y4... So if I feel this is a mess then I will say so, and take my lumps. If it looks better then you thought it would can you say the same ... Or will you just sit back and feel like a tool???

I think for the most part people admit when they are wrong... How many times have we read... "In hand photos look great I am going to have to get this" or people PO after SDCC?? It happens. I myself will admit when I am wrong.

Now I am not saying that anyone who likes this has to say something bad about this piece But after the preview shots there was a lot of talk about "Just wait for the full reveal, don't base your opinion on the Preview shots" Well now it's here and now we are told... "Just wait till SDCC" and I am sure after that "Just wait till the In hand Pics". Hell, some have even resorted to wishing for a Low ES so that somehow the non fans of this piece will regret not getting it.


I DO GET THE COMPLAINTS. It is the entitled part that gets me. Until you ORDER a piece SSC OWES you JACK and ****, and Jack left town. Then they owe you a ice that is as close to the proto as possible, and good customer service to address your complaints THEN. That is IT! This "SSC owes me EXACTLY what I want" mentality reminds me of my 6 year old when he is pitching a fit when he wants a toy in Walmart.


I don't really see the "SSC owes me a great CR Superman" complaints here. I see a lot of "I don't like this piece because of A,B, C, or all of the above" Like I have said I think most people have been respectful... In fact I would say that the ones who have been most disrespectful to other members have been in the "Pro" camp.

I will have to go back and read about the "haters" in the Bat thread because it seems that most who *****ed about the first in hand shots latter said that it looked great in person (Me being one of them ) Were we supposed to grovel and say how wrong we were and please forgive us."

Add that to the fact that a lot of people had some major issues with Pit gate and went on to fix it themselves means that they were right to have some concern.

Perhaps it's because it's written word that people get so uptight. But I guarantee I could voice all of these same opinions in person and people would not get freaked out.



Aww JAWS I am the optimist... You are the pessimist ... And that is why we are friends....lol. I will just remind you I am 2 for 2 so far....lol

Sort of.... I would still prefer the Hulk Brow to be even and I still wish that many of the changes I wanted on Batman were made. I knew Bats would look nice in person. If I did not think so I would not have ordered him. But he still is not a Perfect Batman statue IMO as he does not look great from all angles (to me). Also... Even though I did not argue with you about the Green Lantern PF.. I always thought it looked nice... So I guess that is one for me ;)


That light up was most likely ALREADY planned, hence why the proto had a stand in hand for the initial PO pics. To answer you question I am not getting this, and neither am I telling anyone how to spend their money. I am just speculating this may really surprise people in the end, and that I will be amused if it does.

And I am going to be amused when people get it in hand and it looks even worse (NOT REALLY ;) )

You aren't a troll for stating your opinion... Others are just gong on and on.

Except for me :) (and I have been respectful about this piece) I have not seen much of this "going On and On" as others have... It's a damn discussion board.... We are supposed to discuss. This was a piece I was interested in when first announced now it's a big let down. I love to read the opinions of others. Oh and I have been in other threads were I love a piece and someone comes in and bashes it... I will either ignore the post or I will get into a discussion with them and share opinions. I have been known to get into it with a troll or two (real trolls not just people with different opinions) and have just found that that is not worth my time.

I guess I have to much respect for most to just minimize their opinions by calling them haters. The only reason called anybody anything in this thread was to make a point. However there are some who defend everything SSC does and you know what that is fine also. I love hearing from them also as long as they give that respect back in return...

Spidey just to make sure you know I am not coming at you.... You are just someone I know I can disagree with and not get a bunch of Horse crap back from.

I really would love it if they changed the pose. It's not because it's not "movie accurate" I would not like it if it was for a comic character... Or perhaps it's not as much the pose but the execution of the pose. It just really looks bad to my eyes.

But I can understand why CR fans would be upset about it not being film accurate also.. I would have been furious if they made the Conan the Barbarian film PF in the same pose as the new Conan "rage of the Undying" pose. I would have been like WTF!!!

But I think with this CR Superman pose most would be forgiving of it not being "film accurate" if it was better executed. It's really not that far from being film accurate as his legs are always in that position when he is about to land.

As for the head sculpt... I am sure it will look better at SDCC. The one banner photo that I put up shows that it a nice sculpt. I don't know if I would have choose that expression but it's good enough that if I even "liked" the pose I would have POed this in a second.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

some things never change.

people who dont like something and voice it are called cry baby whining *****es.

people who like it and oppose the complainers are called fan boys.

there is no winning on this internets.

some people need to have a good look and rethink their lives if arguing ENDLESSLY about the pose of a statue seems important to them.

Wait- you're not even getting the figure?? Classic Internet Forum Shenanigans! :lol :clap
 
24-7 internet clowns go ga-ga overboard on a certain item and chastise anyone who disagrees with them and then when it's time to pony up money for said item suddenly the item isn't really THAT nice and they really don't have THAT kind of money anyway and they aren't THAT big of a fan of the character and... :lol
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

I don't think I've ever seen you say a nice thing on these forums about any piece. Yet I didn't see you call out ARH for the shoddy sculpt on the slave girl. Now you may have and I missed it but for the most part I see you here giving critism over abd over again. I've even critiqued this piece but some people here take it to another level, then get pissed when they're called on it.

Look Josh, I've said plenty of things about SS's stuff, both good and bad. I just think you tend to focus more on the bad, dude. I give 'em their props when they deserve it, but I also give 'em a hard time too. I've critiqued the Chris Reeve PF too, and I believe both areas I addressed were pretty legit. Since I first started collecting, which was last year, I own six total SS pieces. One of them I mocked initially, but did a 180 and ended up buying it anyway after I viewed it's release (Darth Malgus PF).

I don't go into the ARH forums. I don't even know what the hell's in there...I just know they make a bunch of Hercules and medieval crap or something. I'm not into that.

I do more reading & researching than posting, and I come in here and say what I have to say about certain pieces, because yeah, I know SS's reading all this **** and they deserve to be negatively critiqued on an open forum when they deserve to be. And sure dude, sometimes it irks me to come in here and see you guys act like everything's hunky-dory with some of their recent releases and how they treat customers on returns and other problems.

And maybe that's my fault, because like you seeing most of the negative, I see a lot of members swinging off Sideshow's bawls and sometimes I just can't believe what I'm seeing. I mean, I've heard of loyalists and optimists but Jesus. Batman was the biggest let-down for me. Gigantic ES or not, I can't tell you enough how excited I was to get that dude. Then he comes out with all these issues and the usual suspects were in here giving a hard time to all the members who wanted to be heard with legit complaints about the statue.

Like I said before...Sideshow can and does hit grand slams. Haha, even though I called some of you Sideshow slaves and nut-swingers, I think all of you are all right. I just did business with Ink, and the dude is cool as hell. Really short in his posts and doesn't say a whole lot, but still cool regardless. I don't mean to be pessimistic most the time, but I guess it would seem like I'm being more of that because of how progressively worse SS's become since their origin.

Anyway dude...I own six total pieces. Darth Malgus PF, Punisher PF, Dewback w/ Sand Trooper Deluxe, Venom LSB, and Galactus LSB. All of 'em are fantastic. I'm never getting the Batman PF for obvious reasons now, but already looking ahead and crossing my fingers for the Arkham Batman. I'll also have the Supes PF once he's out.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

Why does every single thread turn into this? Some people like it, great! Go buy it and enjoy the hell out of it. Some people don't like it, great! Don't buy and use your money on what you would enjoy. Everybody wins. Kinda sad to see so many threads go in the same direction over and over again. We are not going to all like the same thing, but we are all entitled to our opinion. And if someone doesn't like a certain piece, they aren't necessarily being a "whiner" about it. Just like if somebody says a piece is a homerun. To that person, it very well could be. They are free to think that.
