Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'COMING SOON' NEW SSC CAPTAIN AMERICA PF EXCLUSIVE

two special ladies?!!!?? You don't know those 2 girls in that pic do you bro? DAMN!!! I like your style!!

I know which ladies you mean and I have to say bro, they are two very special ladies indeed! Had the opportunity of ordering Phoenix yesterday myself but just couldn't do it



Yea, according to Jedi's post above, has both of those girls arriving to his house mid next month! Gonna post some pics of my Cap later today Andre so stay tuned Totally agree with the disappointment of the Heat Shield That decal is so noticeable and really shows how lazy Sideshow have become when you compare it to their last comic Captain America PF which had both shields painted!

Well I'm sticking two fingers up at that and having the heat shield repainted! No way I'm paying all that money to just leave a shield (that I'd actually like to use) in the box to rot....

Other than that, its an amazing piece which I'm so glad to have ordered. Congrats to you too bro

Lol dude I wish I had a few live girls coming over to my house mid next month but my wife might not like it. Lmao

And yeah its WW and CW if all goes well with SSC Shipping

Dude oh man, wish you had picked up Jean, she looks amazing

Congrats Andy! Glad you got a good one This statue is really nice, the mixed media is nicely done. Like you said, great job on the weathering I can see you looking into having a custom shield done lol

Re: Quick pics of my T-800 Display

Thanks for this review buddy. Personally was on the fence after hearing all the Horror stories but now feel more confident. Great addition buddy. Congrats

Glad to hear I could help Nabil honestly bro, I seriously recommend this piece...it has great quality, great pose and lots of detail...plus its Captain America!

BIG congrats my friend Andy

Thanks Adam my friend

Congrats on getting Cap, Andy!

Hey Mark, thanks so much bro Glad to see some of your pics for a change so congrats on your cool Cap display too buddy

Congrats on this AMAZING Caps AndY!!!

Thanks Marc

Can't wait to see your IP pics! and those Spazzy custom pieces!

Glad to hear you like the feedback, it's a pleasure to see these sick and awesome pieces!





I certainly can't wait to eventually get this. He definitely is a great piece, and I couldn't agree more about the kite shield, it's such as shame to have to happen, and I now need to see how the Modern Cap shields will be.


I definitely laughed about the repaint thing , I will be getting it painted as well, or figure something out, because it does cheapen the statue a lot. Hopefully we get to see a custom shield soon, ehh?


I love the pics though, brother! He looks stellar, and I can say that he certainly surpasses any Cap I've seen, and is what makes me want to go with this opposed to Modern Cap, but 2 Caps can never hurt (You see what you've done, Andy? )

Can't wait to see Iron Patriot pics, and more!

Yea, seems to be some strange goings on with Spazzy's custom pieces tracking numbers seem to be saying different things so hopefully i'll get to the bottom of it cos it should have arrived by now

The Iron Patriot bust arrived at the same time as Captain America so took a day later to get him unpackaged and set up. Not good news I'm afraid...really disappointed with the overall condition not to mention the poor paint apps on it and this is on a $999.99 collectible! Will explain in a lot more detail once I post my review up but bottom line is that its going back to sideshow for a full refund I'm afraid

As for Cap Carlos, you need that piece bro! You can probably see from all the pics posted so far, it photgraphs superbly but it looks even better inhand! What are ya waiting for!!!!

Re: Quick pics of my T-800 Display

Hey Rafa, thanks for the kind words my friend no more thinking...you have to get it! Trust me, you wont be disappointed as for the Kite Shield, yep...that one does need to be repainted but probably wont be able to sort anything out now until the new year



Thanks Sean surprised you haven't ordered this one yet buddy



I infact had two opportunities to take over 2 separate orders for Phoenix bro just doesn't fit into my collection I'm afraid otherwise I'd be all over her! Next PO for me looks to be the Skeletor piece by PCS next Monday...really looking forward to securing that and then I'm done with that line unless Jerry pulls a Battlecat out of his bag of tricks! Bring on the Mixed Media He-Man!!!!



Thanks Brian Whats next? it never ends my friend...but as far as I'm aware i've got the Prime 1 Megatron statue shipping on the 17th December which I'm really looking forward to seeing in the flesh



Thanks so much my friend

That's unfortunate man. Oh hells yeah he'll pull a Big cat outta his bag. My next PO will be Skeletor.or.Raphael (I'll be a Prime 1 brother with you soon)

Yeah I've been bugging them for a while about release. They said they gave them a kick lol so they said it should be this week for PO. Yes their level of detail is remarkable and I think the price is amazing considering all of that. Thanks man

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'NEW UPDATE' SSC NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA PF EXCLUSIVE

Congrats on the Cap. It looks amazing and I agree with the heater shield. Get it repainted. I just received mine a few days ago and excited to display it already.

Thanks Angelica hopefully getting the shield repainted early next year, well January is next month lol so it doesn't sound too far away really disappointed by the decal sideshow used as it really shows lack of thought and considering the money we pay, is it too much to ask to have 2 shields painted like we did for the original Cap PF

Can I say it's a pleasure looking and reading through your thread at some of theses amazing pieces I could not afford or have the room to display. Keep those pieces coming.

Hey Stephen, great to see you hear bro Thanks so much for kind comments and hope your doing well I dunno abt pieces you cant afford lol you certainly have a few pricey pieces in your collection too

Looks fantastic, Andy!

Andy, you're among the few people I blame for my slowly getting into PFs, replicas and 1:1 busts!

thanks Michael....and your not the first person to blame me for that aswell

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'NEW UPDATE' SSC NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA PF EXCLUSIVE

Sweet pics Andy! Congrats on getting this masterpiece!!

Thanks for the kind words Mikey

Nice! The cap looks great! Love all the. Switch out parts. It's awesome too bad I just don't have enough space or money for as much toys as I wanted the pass year. But if I did I would love to own this. Congrats on your awesome growing collection!

Just saw those updated capes and wow the batman cape looks way better than I expected! The superman I like but I prefer it to bend flowing in the air like the bats. Very nice!

Thanks CBG I'm sure Captain America will arrive to your collection in the not too distant future bro

Yea, the Batman cape turned out really well, thanks As for the Superman, I haven't actually had a chance to attach it to my PF yet...those pics you saw were from the guy who actually made them for me as a visual example of how it looks don't worry bro, i'll be adding wire to the Supes cape aswell cos like you said, the Superman cape needs to be flowing in the wind

RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'COMING SOON' SIDESHOW IRON PATRIOT LIFESIZE BUST

Okay so the Iron Patriot Lifesize Bust arrived last week from Sideshow Collectibles but unfortunately upon unpacking this huge beast of a bust, my excitement had swiftly changed to disappointment in a matter of minutes

There's no denying that this this IP bust is an awesome sculpt...its pretty much having the real guy at home in your living room and once you've attached the shoulder cannon, you begin to feel its presence and realise just how massive this collectible is! However, that is where the fascination ends because the paint apps are really poor, dull, matte, flat...it just doesn't stand out or pop like its supposed to. Whilst I realise that IP wasn't incredibly shiny looking in the movie, the paint apps that have been applied make it look more navy dark blue - which is far too dark!

Infact, as you move your eyes around the bust and concentrate on the back, you notice that the paints gradually become more faded (almost as if the factory had concentrated less on making an impression on the back because its part of the bust that wont be seen when on display). Add to the mix that there are a number of scratches and air bubbles around the bust aswell as a dent on the actual faceplate you can begin to understand the frustration when you consider that this bust has costs just $999.99

It just simply wont do! Now, Iron Man is my pleasure and I'd be willing to overlook small issues such as a few marks and scratches (which are more than often part and parcel when it comes to the larger collectibles such as half scales or lifesize busts) but even I cant tolerate this piece and especially not one which comes with such a hefty price tag at the end of it I was really expecting more I must admit but I'm left feeling totally underwhelmed...at least with the MKVII bust it actually grew on me after a few days of having it in my collection despite initially feeling a little underwhelmed due to the lack of any metallic effects on the faceplate but i've now had IP with me for nearly a week and I just don't feel any love for it at all

In my opinion, War Machine totally annihilates this IP bust in every way! Infact, I can say the same about the MKIII bust vs the MKVII bust too. It seems that these latest releases by Sideshow from their Iron Man Lifesize Bust line seem to have completely flopped compared to their other earlier releases of 4-5 years ago...so how can that be? and what's even more ironic is that the price of these new releases have just gotten higher and higher! This IP bust in my eyes is definitely not worth the $1K pricetag....at best I'd have probably kept it or at least got a replacement (due to all the flaws it has) if the price was more around the $400-500 mark...but $1K!!! No way! So Sideshow have already been contacted and received my email requesting a full refund so just waiting for them to get back to me due to their backlog of complaints from their Captain America and Alien Big Chap releases

Anyway, here are my pics...bare in mind that the bust actually looks worse inhand than it does in the pictures

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'NEW UPDATE' SIDESHOW IRON PATRIOT LIFESIZE BUST P

I think that is the first time I have ever head someone say a statue looks worse in hand than in the pics!

so sorry to hear about yet another iron man product from SS fail.

I have war machine and was hoping to pair him up with a new iron man bust, but I may just try and find the first one (assuming the paint isn't cracking!).

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'NEW UPDATE' SIDESHOW IRON PATRIOT LIFESIZE BUST P

Man, I'm sorry to hear that bud. I agree your pics do look pretty good but that probably is because of your expert lighting and photo skills! I have seen other people's IP pics and the paint doesn't look metallic to me at all. That plus you had tons of QC issues. I've seen this for a while now and I have stopped buying SSC Ironman pieces altogether. I hope the IP PF is better but I think it will be even worse than the busts to be honest. Still, ur collection is awesome and you still have XM IM pieces coming in

Well the simple reason is they want to make a huge profit by producing a product that is cheaply made and painted by underpaid Chinese workers who don't give a **** about painting it good. All Sideshow cares about is making profits pure and simple, and they know there are always people out there that will buy their stuff no matter how bad it looks.

Anyway, here are my pics...bare in mind that the bust actually looks worse inhand than it does in the pictures

U are right it looks fine in these pics, maybe you need to take some other pics without the LED base but yeah doesn't look have a metallic look to it.

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'NEW UPDATE' SIDESHOW IRON PATRIOT LIFESIZE BUST P

Sorry to hear about this bro. Problem is we Internationals get the short end of the stick. What Sideshow don't realize is we still take a hit on import fees. Personally I try to overlook small stuff here and there but sometimes it just won't do. Unfortunately that looks like the case here. Let us know on how it goes.

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread 'NEW UPDATE' SIDESHOW IRON PATRIOT LIFESIZE BUST P

Looks ok in the pics but im sure it has its flaws. Such a shame. They really have let the qc go out the window of late. Id never personally order direct and wait for inhand pics and european stock. Just not worth the dramas.

Im sure I read somewhere that you might be able to claim the customs fees back through the tax and revenue ? might be worth a shot.
