Nathan Drake by Sideshow Collectible

[Von Koz]

WTH!!! Between the Medicom Link Figure and now this, I am getting pissed about the prototype being so superior to the final. I canceled my Link, and now I'm thinking of doing the same for this. :/

If mine ships on the 18th, I should have it in hand by the 19th (located in SoCal). I'll do my damnedest to take pics that night.

Or if the sculpt is really bad, just let us know if Trevor wants to do another sculpt and point us towards the interest thread.

Unfortunately Trevor can't take on side projects that utilize licenses SSC holds.

I'm sure he would make a killer Nate Drákke sculpt from Unplotted. Does SSC have the Unplotted license??

I'm thinking about canceling too, but I remember the first pics of the Hot Toys Luke Skywalker and how jacked up that looked. When more pics dropped it did not turn up as bad as any of the initial pictures. So I'm hoping later pics will change my mind.

Same figure came to mind when I saw the reactions to this one.

Be calm

And

Futz on

After viewing the latest info on this thread, I too am considering cancelling.

I called Sideshow's Customer Service and I too got Jenny. I politely asked if I was charged any deposit when I ordered this figure (I cound't remember). I wasn't.

I'll be cancelling it shortly after any new in hand pictures.

My God . . . the eyes . . . did Sideshow hire the same @$$holes who painted for Triad Toys?

by the time other people get it and take pictures, sideshow would have charged your card : |

i'm really stuck between this and the pf, might have to go pf.

Might have to go with the PF? Might? The PF is one of my best collectible purchases since I started collecting. If you could only have one or the other, it's no contest.

That's messed up.

Still not cancelling

 

[RavenEye]

Hmm better question is... Does the ring have "Sic Parvis Magna"?

Hello!!!!

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Uncharted-3-Nathan-Drake-action-figure_1795291781.html

I confirmed they were hired by third party, I've looked through the entire site. Nothing more from SSC, but plenty from HT.

That's not Sideshow's factory, Wamax is a gun/accessory factory, they're just using any pics they can find to show an example of what they 'could' do.

I look forward to some more pics from you guys. I live in HK and was told from Toy Hunters aka Hot Toys that I should be receiving mine in two to three weeks. There's no way I can cancel this without losing my preorder deposits. This is why I hate it when things don't turn out the way as the prototypes. This is my first sideshow figure and could very well be the last.

well you can always return it... I hope that we are blowing this out of proportion, I hope that sideshow knows what they are doing because they wouldn't be releasing this figure and risking their museum quality reputation or at least do the same thing that Big chief did with the Doctor who Amy Pond HS.

 

[Chockles]

Nope. Doesn't work like that in HK. You can't return toys. Either you check everything is ok at the store before you leave the shop. Or in Hot Toys case, you get two weeks to check your products and if there's a problem you can go to the store and replace the broken part. There is no return policy for their products. That's just for Hot Toys figure. I'm not sure about their policy on distributing sideshow products.

Drake trippin balls, seeing too much of Sully!

 

[rocbolt]

I'll think probably be canceling my EX soon, I don't really want to deal with returning it once it arrives as I don't think it will meet my expectations. In reality the production piece had to be better than the proto for me, at least in likeness. It may not be as bad as it looks here but it definitely is lacking. I have the PF and it is a masterpiece- the sculpt, clothes, everything- it'll have to be my only Uncharted piece.

 

[Chockles]

Surely by now somebody at sideshow, Sony, naughty dog would had have plenty of time for feedback and concerns about this figure. Someone had to be keeping tabs in here. Most likely too late now since everything has already been produced and set for shipment.
This is pretty sad. End of the day it's us consumers that have to pay for their sloppiness and mistakes.

That's not what Mr. Cheng said via email.

On other note, this figure was a contest giveaway... So... Who the frak won it? Usually it's posted who does on SSC but can't find the link?

 

[Rambler]

If this figures looks as bad in hand as it has in some of these photos, SSC needs to change the photo on their website, because that is NOT the figure they are going to be shipping out.

I really hope this is all a bad joke and it really will look good in hand. If Marf can't make this look good, no one can.
