Josh is irked!!! :yess:

I think SS hit a low point about two years ago when it seemed as if every release had issues. Their QC has been virtually non-existent at times and this has given them a bad rep.... Couple that with the fact that HT is pumping out high quality figures over and over and it becomes pretty obvious as to why people bad mouth SS.

You mean SSC or HT? :lol Both companies have had growing issues over the past two years. HT's more obvious being the higher price and hassle of returns/exchanges. SSC's saving grace has been their outstanding customer service. HT's is virtually non-existent.
 
If you never have anything good to say about another companies products why bother posting? Sorry thats not Bull thats just being a ******, troll, etc

Its just you.

Couldn't agree more about making a point, constructive crit, instead of just ____ting over a thread, but if you can put your point across why you dislike something then of course you are entitled to post about it if you want. It is a discussion forum.

I find your argument falls flat where, say for instance, pretty much all of us see how ____ty the new Enterbay/Medi Luke is, yet people just chiming in that thread with 'suckage' 'crap', etc. is OK? Surely that is insensitive to the few poeple who love that and will get it, no?

And it's not just me. Other members here have openly posted about the attacks on members disliking SS.
 
:goodpost:

talk about products, not people. something both sides should remember.

:exactly:

This is why these threads are going completely down the ____ter. People getting worked up on other peoples views and then turning on them. Thus in turn everyone turning on each other to defend him/her/that company/this company/my view/your view.

:gah:

Happy fapping! :wave
 
Hamill, Ford, and Christensen seem to be three of the hardesy likenesses to nail and to date Trevor is the only one to master any one of them, let alone all three. It'll be interesting to see if HT can equal or better him (assuming they actually do have the license, bla bla bla.)

hamill, honestly, aside from the goofy expression, RoTJ luke came pretty close. he just needed a sterner expression and just....more life in his eyes. oh, and paint.

ford, not the SW figs, but the indy fig, once again, came pretty close. hayden, yeah, SSC botched that up...but he like hamill and ford can be done. i don't know if you remember that fan made anakin fig by that korean dude. that was a MUCH better attempt at hayden. DAMNED close to the actor. albeit slightly off, but some here did a double take and were fooled thinking it was a still from the movie.

yeah, you can say "but he was fan made"...that's not really the point here. the point is, there's always an artist or sculptor that just has an eye for those nuances that make up our faces and can pick up those details that make us do a double take and wonder if it's the actor or figure.

one other thing that HT sculpts have that so far no other sculpt from rivaling companies has....and that's character. i remember an interview someone did with yulli, senior sculptor for HT. she said something about giving her sculpts character, expressions that give our toys life.

yes, some sculpts were either kinda off, or REALLY off, but you can't deny that they at least have 'character'.

i know i went on a rant, but i believe in HT. and so should everyone else.
 
So it begins. The verbal war begins without an acknowledgment of the actual line beginning.
 
Every thread should be locked 48 hours after information is revealed. Some exceptions would of course, apply.

Example 1:

There's really no reason for this thread to stay open now that people have read the news. The posts featured here are just mindless reactions.

Lock her up until we receive something more concrete.

Example 2:

Lock the entire DC Section until more things come up ala, Hot Toys Superman, recent merchandise, the Hot Toys anniversary toy show, Ghoul Batman/Scarecrow etc.
 
i've pretty much already been priced out. SW going to HT would be the nail in the coffin for me. In the long run of my spending habits and goals probably wouldn't be a bad thing honestly.

starting to think I'd rather spend the $2,000-$3,000 a year I spend on this stuff would be more enjoyable as Rockies season tix.

That's not a fair statement. Probably going to continue to be an issue with the HT collectors jumping over and looking to bash SSC without a clear understanding of the products. Case in point, the quoted post. There've been sculpts from Sideshow that had just that and were far better representations of the actors and characters than what we ended up getting. Unfortunately, they were turned down by LFL in favor of neutral expressions.

this is a forum, not a news site...:dunno
the problem isn't people responding to the news, its people who have a problem with people having a view that doesn't conform to theirs.

you can always read just the first post and stop. or you can simply read SSC's website if you don't have interest in the conversation.

Flosi you made me smile with that post. :lol

I agree with you.

Well, people doing that is exactly what I was talking about before.

And it's not just me. Other members here have openly posted about the attacks on members disliking SS.

Its not been about folks not liking SS. Not at all.
 
Lock it up anyway!

:lecture

There were HOT TOYS VS. SIDESHOW and HOT TOYS STAR WARS threads long before this "teaser" popped up.

We all know how we feel as well as the feelings of others. No more needs to be said until Hot Toys actually produces 1/6 Star Wars, and that's even if they do.
 
Well, people doing that is exactly what I was talking about before.

Exactly. So it matters in some threads with certain companires but not all?


Its not been about folks not liking SS. Not at all.

Well I genuinely fail to see what it has been about. Please enlighten me. (That probably sounds sarcastic but it really is not).
