Medicom VCD Vader & Stormtrooper shipping soon!

[RoboDad]

It's OK Josh. You don't have to sugar coat it. I am an idiot.

<--- Hey look! No cape!

 

[The Josh]

No your not. I had to look myself to find it. I was like where the hell did they put it. I just figured after I looked everyplace else check the back of the package.

 

[Zoomaround]

I took the figure out of the box to take quick pic. I saw the cape but didn't bother taking it out. Now that I think of it, the cape wasn't easy to see unless you know it's supposed to be in the box.

 

[tomandshell]

Sorry for the near-panic, folks! And just as an FYI, the bottom of the cape has a wire inside to help you pose it however you want.

Edited to add, if only as part of my penance:

Thanks for helping me not to stress! Mine still hasn't been delivered.

Got mine today and the cape fooled me, I thought they messed up for a second than it plopped into my lap.

I never thought I would say this, but I miss my old FedEx driver. When the package didn't get delayed or lost, they would always come between 10 and 11 AM. Now my Sideshow packages come in a little minivan with a FedEx sticker on the window. Not very official looking and obviously a subcontracted middleman. He tends to show up around 7 PM. Really annoying. I guess I should have my packages delivered to me at work, where they would come on a regular FedEx truck and be here before lunch.

That's a big finger. Reminds me of Mark Hamill as c*ck knocker's hand from Jay and Silent Bob

 

[Awesome-O]

I didn't think of that Or Arsino Hall.

OK, On closer inspection,mine has a small chunk missing from the helmet piece. It's clearly on the edge/rim of the helmet above the right eye, it's like a bread crumb, and it's from the production of it, but it's just a little imperfection and it's killing me. Will SS giveme a new one in exchange? Is it worth it since I waited forever, and will have to wait forever again for a new one?!?!?! Is there a chance I can just send the helmet piece back and get a new one of those??!?!

Mine has a slight imperfection there as well (a slight ripple in the plastic), but no missing chunk. As near as I can guess, that must have been one of the injection points for the mold. But why there of all places?

 

[Awesome-O]

Some say ripple some say chunk, I guess I'm just anal. Anyone else before I go through a return process for no reason? I mean if they're all that way, fine but if I can get a smoother one, than I will. Thanks rRobo Dad

Mine also has a blemish there. They clearly picked a really stupid spot for the injection point. Why not the back of the helmet?!? It's not that bad on mine and I'm not returning it or anything. It was just a poor design/production choice made by Medicom.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

It's not bad on mine it's about the size of a little cookie crumb though, I checked REbelScum and according to a few folks over there it's the same. Also the Japanese version has it too. What a bad place, but whatever atleast we didn't pay $200 for the Japanese version 2 years ago. I'm glad to get one at all. Stormtrooper is coming today and than I can't wait for FEtt from SWS.com.

 

[tomandshell]

My son is absolutely crazy about these guys. He can't wait for me to get the Fett and TIE pilot.

He can't wait for you to get Fett?

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah. Tom's dad must've posted that last one.

 

[tomandshell]

Yeah. Tom's dad must've posted that last one.

My wife was laughing this morning when my son (who just turned five this week) was lining up the Vader and Stormtrooper VCDs on the shelf. He told me that I needed to get the blue one from my office to put on one side, and get the black one (TIE pilot) for the other side, and Boba Fett to stand with Vader. He was getting excited imagining how the display would look when they all arrived, and my wife had this look on her face that said, "Like father, like son."

 

[The Josh]

My Stormie came today. Again very cool little figure. The Vader, Stormie, and 501st all look really good together.

 

[RoboDad]

Sure, rub it in! Just because I forgot the stupid cape!

My Vader and Trooper will just have to be happy on their own. At least until Fett and the TIE Pilot show up.


And Tom, are you sure that's your son you're talking about? I've always been curious about your Fett obsession. Maybe your boy is really your clone. The personality trait similarities would certainly support that hypothesis.
