I'd be ok with the regular on both bats and supes. Ex's don't impress me too much. I think I could make shift a clear resin heat vision. Push some clay in to his eye. Make a cast of that clay. Bam. Maybe even use something more malleable like a sponge so it'd fit tight.


Genius.

There probably are many more people happy with their Superman statue. The quality control has seemed to be really good for the exclusive so far, but that doesn't explain why they are already out of replacement bodies. BLS was told there are no more available, exclusive or regular, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering they haven't even finished shipping the 2,500 exclusives yet not to mention the 5,000 regular editions that they will probably be batch shipping for the next 2 years. Good quality control and running out of replacements this early doesn't add up. I fault Sideshow for being too cheap and not making enough replacement parts available. That's on them.




Because they haven't finished shipping the exclusives yet and may not until September or October. Nobody knows at this point.

They don't seem to have enough Superman's to fill orders let alone have any in reserve for replacements. I have no idea what happened to,the replacement parts, stuck on a container ship, used in QC check to replace damaged ones before shipping to customers, none made it over, who knows. My point was only that the QC on this statue was top notch and there were a whole lot more people happy with what they got, then were upset.

Then maybe they shouldn't offer any replacements. How fair is it that someone who received their statue before me (many months before me) has a great chance at a replacement but I have no chance at all because Sideshow...

wow, really? You would begrudge someone who got a replacement part because you couldn't have one too? I have no words for this...

Sideshow has said they shipped the full purchase statues in the order that people placed the order. My recommendation would be to order faster and make sure you are at the top of the list when shipping time comes.

The larger point is missed entirely:

Why continue to send out defective pieces?...not damaged in transit... but pieces that are CLEARLY defective and should be caught in inspection.

Solve that, and there'd be nothing else to those situations, because they wouldn't occur nearly as often. And Josh, this isn't all aimed squarely at you, just following your lead as far points people are missing.

On this statue it seems a relative few problems got out compared to the overall population so far, but with the majority of these not out yet or at least not represented by the small population that is this board (don't for a second think we represent the majority) it's hard for anybody to say what's what.

But overall, not including this Superman, QC is hit or miss, we see it across many releases. Despite my issue and unhappiness, Superman as whole seems to been delivered well for most but SS still has line wide problems, they're discussed every day multiple boards. Stop sending out problem pieces by caring more about what's sent out, and there wouldn't be a need for as many replacements because there wouldn't be as many requests.

So you want Sideshow to open every statue and unwrap, inspect, rewrap, then repackage every single statue? You don't think that would lead to more damage? Not to mention much higher costs? I'm sure they got someone over in China telling them the productions are coming out like the proto, and that guy that greenlit the Apoc statues is probably canned by now. It's impractical to inspect every one, and to some extent they have to trust the rather shady companies they do business with. I doubt they still employ the factory that produced Rogue.

We might not agree on every point but you're correct. Any manufacturer will have defects. From the part that doesn't work in a car, to the computer or phone that has a defective part, to full on lemons, it WILL happen. There's always variance that might not be caught, especially on products that need to be used before certain types of problems become obvious.

But the difference with sideshow is it's a visual product. You can very well see that you're about to send someone ****. That's just negligence. Like I said before in my case my Superman issue isn't that bad and if the entire run had the type of issues SS statues tend to have nowadays I wouldn't be as frustrated and more willing to just get a credit. But seeing so many people get greatness with this and I didn't receive the same thing because somebody decided to either a) not give a thorough inspection or b) simply not give a damn doesn't leave me feeling well about sideshow. You don't have to get usage from these like other products to tell there's something not right. Someone either looked at it and decided to send it anyway, or they didn't inspect good enough.

That's a rather bold statement. That makes it sound like the majority of their product lines have issues, and I can say that has not been the case for me at all.

I say I'm torn... I look at Superman and say he's better, then I look at BMan and say he's better, back and forth, back and forth. I give up. They both have amazing qualities that I can't choose.

Yeah man they're both pretty ****ing awesome. When I first got Supes it wasn't like how I felt when I got Batman, but you cannot deny their presence and overall product.

I know. How can I get 1 grand as fast as possible.

Superman is better out-of-the-box. With pit fix, Batman is back on par with Sup.
