I will lose a few bucks on the currency conversion when they do the refund, but I am cool with it. I would much rather wait for a new one done right. kudos to SS for not releasing a crappy statue.
 
Woooooaaaaahhh. Is this only for the EX version or are we all going to be waiting a loooong time?

Damn, has that ever happened before? I mean, they never turned around Rogue or Spiderwoman, these pieces must have been REALLY bad. They switch to the factory Dynamite was using or something?

Might be for the EX and initial batch for the regular. I got the email as well. Sucks but I applaud SS for putting quality first. It would be interesting to see pics of just how bad this batch came out.

Thoughts:

1. "... and here's $20 in rewards points for the trouble" would have been a nice addition, and would have especially helped compensate those who lost money due to currency fees.

2. Kudos to Sideshow for actually doing quality inspections and catching the issue. Boo to Sideshow for taking so long to communicate and for offering what (now) looks like a fake excuse of port issues.

Man, this is a bitter pill. It will be a long wait.
 
got two emails today same message for both statues superman and darkseid did not meet quality they will remake the statue wonder how long that will take ??? i do applaud them for not releasing a terrible quality statue competition is out there

They did this for Modern Thor.
 
I'm bummed I'm not getting my Superman villain but more than happy that they caught the poor quality ahead of time rather than me opening it and ending up disappointed. I'm cool with waiting. Wonder if this means I'll get Lex first now.
 
Sideshow has released plenty of stinkers before. I want to know just how bad this thing looked if they had to recall it...
 
I received the same email others here did. Disappointing to have to wait but I'm glad to see SSC handle their business. If they have to go back and remake all of the EXs, I hope they make the teeth on the Ex portrait white instead of the grey we've seen. The grey teeth kind of just blend in with the rest of his face too much.

It's not Sideshow's fault that Darkseid has poor dental hygiene

Wouldn't it make sense to have inspectors on site to scrutinize production rather than waiting for them to get to the states?

The production pics they showed months ago looked great except for the ex teeth. Wonder how long we'll have to wait to get this.
 
I'm putting this statue out of my head for awhile then. It would really be to Sideshow's benefit to have some sort of quality control inspection before they leave the factory.
