Statue Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Statue

That looks great Black Label. What's wrong with the base?? It looks okay from that pic...

am i being picky??

 

[Fremen]

I don't know. It depends how much it bothers you.

I haven't even looked close enough at my base to see if it looks like yours. Personally, it wouldn't bother me but that's just me. If it bothers you enough, then see what SS says but I don't know if they'll see anything as an issue with it.

I don't think you are being picky. Is that viewable from how you will have him posed? If it is on the backside of the base where you will probably never see it, it wouldn't bother me.

Particularly since you might not get a base that's any better. As I have stated before, I have never seen a perfect statue. There is always a problem on one even if it is very minute.

sorry if the quality sucks

thanks, I appreciate it.

If you mean the bumpy edges, yeah, mine has that too, and I'm just choosing to let it go. I'm sure most would be like that, and don't want to try to go through one or two returns to get a "perfect" on knowing there probably is no perfect one.

I see what you are talking about but I doubt you will get a replacement that looks any better. In fact, you might trade one issue for another one. It has happened to me in the past.

mine came with the saber broken off so i sent that and the base pics to Jennifer in CS. She was going to get me replacements parts i believe.

on a side note, i have learned my lesson, and you can hold me to this...

i was very mouthy towards SS for this missing hilt business, but i was too disrespectful in the manner and the extent in which i was critical. this statue is a monster and i am very happy. it could have been handled better, but to any of you on the fence, dont be put off, youll regret it. i cant believe im saying this, but once you put this thing together and see it in person, the missing hilt goes from major **** up, to a coincidental minor.

im not new to collecting, not by a long shot, but i am new to being let down like this. never had an issue like this before. i have learned to keep my yapper shut until i see the item in person.

i ordered all the mythos statues after i got this put together....except GG. now, the hard part is finding room to display them.

A cool head and a managed temper will always serve you well in life.

I am let down too but there are some positive developments in the thread that furystorm started to gauge interest for a commissioned hilt so maybe it will bear fruit.

Glad you are sticking with the piece and congrats on getting Maul and Fett. I have Fett on order myself and my Obi piece arrives tomorrow.

i know. and i always stay calm, for my own sanity and well being, and to remember to treat people the way i want to be treated. im not quite sure what got into these last few days.

once you get this thing, you wont mind the saber missing as much. i know that sounds crazy, but you wont.

Fett and Vader are just mind numbingly awesome looking! i mean, those look so damn good. waiting sucks.

No worries. One thing you will find on this forum is for the most part people are welcoming and understanding and realize that we are all passionate about this hobby and sometimes that passion may manifest itself in less then positive ways when things don't go as expected. I would be really surprised if anyone held it against you.

I can't wait to see Obi in person. Yes, Fett and Vader are awesome and I forgot to mention that I have Vader on order as well. I am taking a chance on the glow paint because the piece just looks so fantastic! I can't wait either.

It's good to see that most are Happy when they get it in hand. Seems like such a great sculpt can't be stopped by a few small details.

Congrats to all!

 

[pixletwin]

I like your new avatar much better too.

 

[JAWS]

On the other hand. We need more Pics!!!!

A passion for excellence more than likely. Nothing wrong with wanting the best.

What are the different hand options? One with full sabre, another with hilt, and another with nothing? Am I correct there are 3 choices?

not really. open hand or saber lit. the ones without the blue saber have been broken off. once they are broken off, there is no fixing it.

 

[Black Label Society]

I like your new avatar much better too.

LOL. me too! who wouldnt love a pic of Zakk Wylde and the late Darrell Abbott drinking beer?

 

[furystorm]

Great Jebus! You change your avatar more than I go number 2!

I'm gonna take a few iPhone pics of my Ben in his temporary space next to the Freddy PF...

BRB

Not understanding why SS wouldnt make the blade removable. This way the whole issue with the hilt goes away.

How much space does the lit sabre take up? I may not have the option of displaying him like that (detolf shelf). I have to keep Mauls blades off for the same reason.
