"I am not happy with this" poll

[bearmodel]

I'm only putting up the 2008 pieces that I think people were not happy with according to the posts on the forum. Which one was the biggest disappointment?

The candidates are:

Moria Orc
Jurassic Park Dio
Bruce Lee
Galadriel PF
Aragorn PF
IM Mark 1
Classic Iron Man
Namor

Why did people complain about the JP dio and Anakin?

What's wrong with Aragorn and Abomination?

 

[Shropt]

JP's dio problem was the sloppy paint job and questionable pose. The price didn't help either. Plus we waited so long for the first piece, got a dio instead of a maquette, and then got no pieces afterward.

 

[El Roranous]

Aragorn got changed around and didn't live up to the proto and the Abomination has a weird coloring and is super expensive.

 

[Shropt]

What's wrong with Aragorn and Abomination?

Aragorn had the bad face paint job that went from looking like a mini-Viggo to a crazed nobody.

Abomination is pricepoint and the choice of an "unknown" character.

Where have you guys been?!!

Oh I see. I had not been following it since I hadn't ordered it. Good to know. Thank you.

My biggest disappointment from Sideshow ANY year was the AH! Black Queen. Don't get me wrong, she looks great, but I am a huge X fan and I have been asking for a Sideshow Jean Grey/Phoenix for years.

The End of LOTR 1:6 should be in this poll.

Without a doubt, my biggest disappointment from Sideshow ANY year was the AH! Black Queen. Don't get me wrong, she looks great, but I am a huge X fan and I have been asking for a Sideshow Jean Grey/Phoenix for years. To release her as the Black Queen, as a companion piece to White Queen, really disappointed me and alot of other fans. There was alot of discussion about this before the discussion was sarcastically shut down.

One positive aspect of Sideshow's BQ choice, it got me interested in Bowen and I have now started a Bowen X collection that began with the Bowen FS Phoenix.

The Bowen X-Men statues are pretty nice. I don't think you will be disappointed. I really like the Jim Lee X-Men style beast.

Too much complaining.

My biggest disappointment was that the 12" Vader was actually put up for preorder. It was always a joy to pop into the Star Wars forum before and after an announcement and everybody would be over-analyzing clues given and somehow make it work in their heads that they'd be getting a Vader when, in fact, they would be treated to some background character or yet another Obi-Wan.

 

[carbo-fation]

Thanks guys. Guess I need to pay closer attention to all the complaining around here.

 

[Shropt]

I think a lot of disappointment from fans comes from simply not getting what they wanted. This happened with the Black Queen, JP Dio, and Abomination. All 3 statues are viewed as pieces that could have been something else more desirable.

We have to realize that SSC is a company that likes to make pieces of background characters.

Classic IM and Namor are both pretty gay.

And all things Diamond ultimate 1/4 scale
