Statue Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Statue

[CollectorNC]

Here is the numbering error explanation...


Dear Craig,



Thank you for your recent order for the Ben Kenobi Mythos statue. We hope that by now your piece has arrived to you and has found a spot in your display.



The Ben Kenobi - Mythos statue, which is a 2,000 piece edition size was mislabeled at our production facility with a 1,200 piece edition size instead.



The staff at Sideshow strives for excellence in every piece that we make and to have a clerical error of this nature occur is not only frustrating to our collectors but to us as well. How do things like this occur? Well we asked the same question and went department by department with a sharp stick to find out what happened. The manufacturing process for this type of statue is very exacting and requires a lot of coordination of different teams. What we discovered is that our production facility accidentally labeled the Ben Kenobi bases with the 1,200 number, which was the size of the previous production item the factory handled. Unfortunately, we cannot re-label the bases without potentially damaging the base itself.



The statue has not been fully manufactured and the final production run will carry base markings of 1,201/2,000 - 2,000/2,000, which continues the sequence of the piece numbers the way it was intended and features the correct overall edition size. If you would like to exchange your statue for a statue from the corrected edition sequence, then we can do so for you. You are also welcome to keep the item that you have, as it will be a lower item number.



Ultimately your satisfaction is our goal, and if you do not choose any of these options mentioned, than we can certainly retrieve the statue from you and issue you a full refund, with our sincere apologies.



Our mission is to make quality items that have that 'wow' factor; statues that you are proud to display in your home and gloat about to your friends! Sometimes we do make mistakes along the way. Allow us to offer you a $25 credit towards your next purchase for any inconvenience that

this error has caused.



Best Regards,

Mike is always top notch in dealing with. Reminds me of the days in the 90's when variant comic issues were the "cool" thing. So now those with the 1200 base, while not correct, still have a rarity.

Yeah wait till ebay listings say RARE, MISTAKE NUMBERS, HTF. Lol I am glad people got a second chance on this statue because the secondary market price was ridiculous. I think with Disney cutting the nutts off the EU this piece will continue to appreciate regardless of what number is scribbled on the bottom. Second people need to enjoy the statue itself and not worry what you can sell it for, I know I will display mine with joy. Ob1 your my only hope

Right man, this (and the Vader) will never leave my curio display. I have a baaaad (goooood) feeling about that. Due to base height, they shouldn't look too bad near PF's.

Technically there are less of the second batch making the xxxx/2,000 rarer than the first "mistake" batch xxxx/1,200

I didn't want to get the Mythos Boba if I couldn't get this Obi-Wan. Now that I have an Obi order I want the Boba. I managed to get on the list a few days ago when I got on the list for Ben.

With the checking inventory status I hope they put Boba back up.

Hilt ordered from MYC. I am set as long as he arrives intact from SSC.

 

[Loquae]

Why don't they have a Flex Pay option for him!?

Hilt?

Wondering the same thing myself. :

 

[Loquae]

I asked via chat about Flex Pay, and all I was told was "There will not be a payment plan option with this statue".



No reason given...

Because f--- you, that's why. Lol

Sometimes I feel like that should be at the bottom of every email sideshow sends out.

Hilt?

The statue was shipped without the unlit Kenobi saber hilt that he wears on his belt. Many people bought custom made ones that were built to scale. I just bought one myself to have for my statues arrival.

He is shown in Sideshow product pictures, with the optional unlit hilt, but was not shipped with one.

Ya but will this run have it? SSC issued partial refunds to everyone for the missing hilt

No this run will not have the hilt and the $25 credit was for the miss-numbered base not the missing hilt.

So it was supposed to come with it and they didn't include and made no effort to correct?
