Don't know mate. This is the first SSC statue i've bought in a long time. I said to my brother that it would be just like SSC to get Gwen & MJ perfect and **** Spidey up. :lol

So typical :( Did you also pick up Gwen and MJ? I'm thinking those who have picked up all 3 will be major peed off cos you'll have 2 out of 3 statues (which are supposed to be part of a set) that will have this new paint app technique and one that doesn't.

Got MJ for a great price at Zavvi (thanks Col) Getting Gwen soon. It's a shame he doesn't look like the proto but he also doesn't look like **** imho. If the paint isn't sloppy on mine i'll be happy with him. I'd have been even more happy if it looked like the proto though.

Oh yea, no denying that the actual sculpt is cool. My beef lies purely with the paint apps. Sideshow promise one thing and deliver another, and what makes it worse is that its clearly part of a trio set which makes Spidey stick out like a sore thumb as being the odd one out :(

Agreed, I'd be pissed as the center piece of the set got the shaft. He looks tiny too.

I do agree with you. It's a pain but this is what i've come to expect with Sideshow. It's why i hardly buy from them anymore. I normally wait for in hand pics/vids now. Didn't with this because i wanted the EX.

He is small but then im sure everyone who'd ordered Spidey knew it was 1/5 scale. I think yes its small but as part of a trio display set it totally works imo :)

Yea, I know you out of everyone has been totally put off from ordering Sideshow stuff, especially with the rotten luck you've had with the past couple of pieces you've ordered :( have to say though, your certainly not alone...if Sideshow don't nail at least 5 out of 7 of their Iron Man maquettes with proper lush paint apps then i'll be following you and collecting Bad Taste bears instead! :lol :lol

:lol @ Bad Taste bears

I don't collect those instead. I collect Prime 1 and build a pool room instead. :lol
 
Hmmm the urge of adding this to my collection disapeared, it's a nice piece though & sure will look great next to the girls.
 
So who's cancelling or sending it back? Let's see a show of hands. I bet hardly anyone. :lol
 
:rock :rock is that a pool table aswell as a swimming pool?! :horror Awesome!

I wonder if Sideshow explains the reasons of the difference between the proto and the final product, wouldn't be cool? Besides they're changing the photos of the actual product comes out when it is different! So what did go wrong, tell us, maybe we find your case right and not to blame! Sideshow company isn't small anymore so these actions have to explained to their customers. People who are smoking can sue the cigarette companies when they get cancer once just they don't write smoking cause cancer on their boxes! Some people here think I am a natural hater of Sideshow but in fact I have so many statues from them in my collection. I am ready to pay higher prices if they produce their products in America cause their factory in China can't make it something right anymore! Their QC doesn't give good results...

on the top of my head I can think of a certain few pieces that Sideshow have really screwed up on and also knew the fact that they screwed up by altering the images on their order page...they are:

Batman PF - initially released proto pics aswell as the pics on their order page of the Batman showing embossed Bat logo emblem on the chest and fitted suit around the arm pits. What we received were no embossed logo and instead a flat print on bat logo plus the armpits of the suit were literally by his ankles :slap After so many complaints, Sideshow removed their pics on their order page and replaced them with new ones showing sagging arm pits :horror

Iron man MKVI Legendary Scale Bust - initially released pics of the Arc Reactor placed the correct way round. What we received was the Arc Reactor the wrong way round :slap Again, after so many complaints, Sideshow removed their original pics from their order page and incredibly, they replaced them with new ones showing the Arc reactor upside down and claiming that it was always meant to be that way!!! :lol :lol :lol :lol Brilliant!!!!

Then there are other releases such as the Apoc PF and now this one :( what gives Sideshow :dunno
 
That's the funny thing. This forum does nothing but moan moan moan, yet the people doing it have a PO list as long as your arm. :slap :lol

I blame Andy! :lecture :exactly: :lol

Thing is, if we stop ordering from Sideshow, how do statue junkies like myself go about getting our hits from? :dunno and don't say build a pool room! :lecture :lol
 
Comic Con is upon us and I know when they release their new products, everyone will forget their QC problems:) The new threads will be opened and collectors will share their desires and excitement with each other. It is for sure their protos will look visually attractive and just because of our love to these characters, our brains tell us we have to own them in any way! Till we see the actual product comes very different from the proto, we will not be sorry to purchase it at very high prices! It is like a MATRIX movie:)
