factory repair

[jbinny]

is it possible for a statue to have been broken and repaired/repainted at the factory?

 

[jbinny]

anyone, this is a bit of an urgent matter...

it's not something tiny either, we're talking a whole leg.

Not many Sideshow reps hang around here anymore, especially not over the weekend. Maybe Dusty might happen by, but if its such a HUGE deal, call they tomorrow.

Dont wait for someone to answer you here.

From the sticky at the top of this forum:

Everybody needs to remember that this is not an official Sideshow site. Some of their staff members pop in every now and then as their busy schedules allow, but there is no guarantee that anyone from Sideshow will read your questions or comments when you post them here rather than communicate through official channels.

Many of the SSF regulars understand this, but now and then someone who is relatively new to the board will post a customer service question here and that will inevitably lead to frustration, since this is an independent fan site.

yea, the constant whiners have caused the SS reps to no longer hang out.

I think Darkdays was showing that he has as illustrated in his pics. I had a poorly repaired Electra that was promptly replaced as well for that reason.

It has happened to me at least twice.

They do it all the time in the factory because they don't really care. Some of the repairs are absolutely terrible. I will post a pic that I have in just a second.

that's the statue in question

This has happened to me more than once...unfortunately but I could only find this set of pictures for now. These pictures were taken directly out of the box
and this was purchased brand new directly from Sideshow. Notice the poor repair done on Venom's finger. I wasn't the only one who had this problem either....unfortunately.

Other people have had glued on Spidey fingers from both the Hulk vs and the Venom vs. So it does happen....unfortunately.

My Electra's arm was broken, repaired, and then painted over...it was not very well done, but they did replace it with #15 though which I later sold.

The FLy maquette thread over on Statue Forum has images of a factory repair ....
