Sauron Poll!!!

[Zoomaround]

My Sauron's helm came broken right out of the box so I had to order a new one. By the time the replacement arrived, I had already learned the lesson of removing the head prior to moving the statue. Luckily, I had a "tester" helm for the first couple of weeks.

Yeah FYI when you have to email Sideshow Customer Service asking " I need head." they WON'T respond! I repeat don't email with a subject title...


"I NEED HEAD!"

Try to be a bit more descriptive. ​

Wow, not until page 3 --- Danny, you are growing soft.


No breaks on mine.

Yep, I'm reaching the ripe old age of 25. Time has finally caught up to me.

They replied to me with that title.

Bob the Godfather has that affect on the Sideshow women. "Need head?"

The very same day that I received it, I set it up temporarily on a table to check it out. As many of us know, it's an amazing piece. In any case, I then decided to move it to it's display spot and totally forgot about the head and it came loose and crashed to the floor. About 3 spikes broke off. I super-glued them together but I was so upset with the damage, that I ended up writing to Dusty who directed me to someone in customer service, who in turn directed me to someone in the returns/shipping dept and they ended up sending me a replacement Sauron head/helm. Unfortunately, it arrived with one broken spike but I was able to super-glue it back on and the damage is not noticible.

SS Customer Service = second to none.

Yes I own one and have never broken his head, BUT... when it arrived, the head was already broken!! Cindy from SSC CS solved that problem quick!

I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to go awry.

 

[Bannister]

Danny, you are growing soft.

That's what she said!!!

the head is just one problem....sauron is one heavy mofo and has some other delicate parts on him as well. lol

 

[Mookeylama]

i don't have a sauron. how's he look next to Lurtz PF? obviously not scaled, but impressive display?

yes, both huge mofos. very impressive display since each on their own can be a centerpiece.

Moved mine once, not thinking about the head, and down it came, bouncing like a ball off the hutch, onto the desk, and resting on the floor. Most of the spikes broke. Luckily it wasn't too far after it was released and was able to order a replacement head.

Won't forget again!

Makes us wonder why SS didnt use the magnet instead to secure it in place . . .

The usual thing happened to me. I moved the big guy, but his head wanted to stay where he was. Suffice it to say, he decided to roll off on his own instead. As a result he broke his spikes in several places. Distraught, my first reaction was to call SS' great customer service! In a couple of days I received my own head!

this is the one statue that i wished for SS to magnetize the head to the neck.

 

[BDboystoys]

something to remember:

Remove the head before you move the statue!

Well thats what I was doing when I brushed my hand by and snapped a finger off.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that! My head was knocked down last year by my 5 year-old nephew.

 

[Boba Fett]

Dayum! I knew Sauron was fragile to handle, but I didn't realize he was that much!

I guess I consider myself lucky for now that I haven't broken anything yet.
