[Custo]

What about customs/handling fees? Are those applicable on the replacement?

Brilliant figure- awesome.

It feels that way, doesn't it? It definitely doesn't feel like a figure with any sort of exclusivity that's for sure. It's not as if it came with a certificate like Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'.

Just got my second one and what a piece of ____ the quality on this one was. My first came flawless and I couldn't believe all the issues with the 2nd. Broken right ankle, dented right abs, missing large spike on the right gauntlet, faulty utility belt. I am so pissed. I have already called SS and waiting on respose.

I predicted a few weeks ago that the status on this figure would change from "wait list" to "in stock". Now I have this feeling that we will witness the prices decrease on the secondary market as this figure floods collectors homes with QC problems. So I'm going to call it now, lower prices in the coming weeks as more and more people pass and/or sell mass quantities of this guy.

Lets not forget there are more on the way with at least two more Asia based conventions . . .

As long as they replace the problems, I dont see how it would sell for cheaper in the secondary market? Most just have the boot problem like mine, and SSC is sending me replacements to fix that issue.

It does suck big time to have this problem, but like others have said if we want HT to listen to us, then we have to hit them in the wallet by not buying their stuff.

Besides those of us on the board, I'm certain that most people aren't even aware of the problems on this figure (let alone care). The figure has been around for several month, and it's only recently, that when Sideshow started to ship them out, and some freak members got them in hand, that we even heard about the extent of the damage caused by poor QC.

I'm not sure the about the reason for why the figure has gone back to "in stock" status, but I'm wiling to place my bet that it was most likely because of credit card declines/cancellations that made more figures available for sale.

Yeah, sorry to hear that man. You should try calling Sideshow directly, or chatting online with one of their customer service people during their business hours. You'll get an immediate response. They usually take a long time to respond to emails (anywhere from 2 to 4 business days in my experience).

If anyone would like to email a SS rep directly, here is who to contact [email protected]

He will reply with an email requesting photos of the defects/issues with your figure. Within 5-7 business days he'll email you again with instructions on how to ship your figure back. Fedex/UPS will then email you a shipping label. Once they have your figure, they will send a replacement that has been checked for defects.

Mine is shipping soon I almost fear what I may find when I get him...

Can't imagine that a few months ago this one was being considered as a 'rarest of the rare' figures that HT will ever produce. The entire frenzy over the PPO, the rant about the scalpers, calling it a 'Blessing' for those who missed it out the first time, whew... What crazy overly hyped figure this was. Finally when its out, I guess the people who are feeling blessed are owners of OC. I believe now, issues like the Indy fiasco (if I may say so), likeness issues with Cap (for some), and Toy Fare Bat, will surely make people think twice about pre-ordering as soon as a figure is announced. I for one would not mind paying a few extra bucks to acquire a figure after it is out, once I see the in-hand pics, rather than getting a BNIB with loads of issues.

This is one of the rarest of the rare.. especially if yours is perfect.. HA!

Tons of people still want this figure.

scalpers are bull____.. they ruin this hobby.

I missed the OC bats and this one is amazing. best bale sculpt and best cowl sculpt.

I am happy with my figure, had to play with it a little but he is perfect now. I wont ever sell him and he makes me happy in the pants

I guess it shouldn't be a difficult thing to do. Sharing the pics posted by fellow freaks that helped me deciding in favor of lforigno's custom:

I want to see how custom cape looks on him turned around, the back of bats please...

 

[Commtech]

We don't really know. There's theories of cancellations, more were produced, etc., etc....

 

[DiFabio]

Because it isn't sold out.
