Sideshow Masters of the Universe Collection

Received Evil-Lyn Classic today. Pleased to say that the lean has gone - there is now no peg in the heel and just two at the front. View attachment 406346

Very nice! Congrats!

Awesome that the lean is gone. Looks so much better.

Looks like they fixed the lean to me. Hoping to see some side by side comparisons soon!

Yea, that would be nice to see actually. A side by side pic of the original and the classic.

Wohooo ...She-Ra is looking great in that unboxing video!

Looking forward to getting her soon and checking out in hand how she turned out. Looks pretty nice in that video!

Thanks. Yes, I could tell straight away and although I no longer have the original i much prefer this one although a real shame it didn’t come with Screech. Only issue I have is that the base says 420/750, the art box and shipper say 423/750 and there’s another sticker on the polystyrene that says 423/5000!

Smart move fixing the lean by placing her horizontal.

Kidding aside, this was the post I was waiting for. Will order it right away now. Thank you!

Wow, that would be a first for me. I've never had a piece come in and the edition number is different between the base/box. That might be an issue if you decide to sell later. That discrepancy might come into question.

Aw man ...that sucks. What are you going to do? Are you planning on getting SSC to fix it?

Yes it’s certainly an odd one. I e-mailed Sideshow the photos and said exactly that - not planning on selling but if ever I should this will look odd. Maybe they could replace the boxes? Hope they can do something.

Good call on letting SSC handle it. I would think the simplest solution would be to replace the shipper and art boxes.

Yes, I’ll see what they say. Only problem could be if someone else out there has my boxes and I have theirs! I guess they’ll get me to destroy them and send photos. Or maybe I have the wrong base and the correct boxes? ��

Either way it’s a great statue so I can’t complain too much ����

She-Ra arrived today!

 

[AC_808]

Congrats on She-Ra!

Still waiting on mine....

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Holy ****, I just got a shipping notice, and She-Ra has already arrived in my city! Should be delivered on Monday, but I'm going to call and see if I can pick up today!

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Damn, the depot closed already this afternoon, so will have to wait until Mon for delivery. Looking forward to comparing her against Evil-Lyn!

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

She-Ra statue just arrived! Looking forward to setting her up and seeing how she turned out. Stay tuned for more pics and video review!

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Overall a decent release, but there are a couple of issues that bugs my OCD side.

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Here's my video review of the new She-Ra, going over some of my issues and overall thoughts.

Hey Mendoc, are you able to take a pic of your She-Ra head sculpt from a more front-on angle to see if there's the same mask asymmetry that mine has?

Sorry, I actually meant to reply to you yesterday. Mine is the same, if not worse than yours (great video by the way). I suppose because it’s that flexible plastic it’s kind of hit and miss. I’m going to put something soft between her shoulder and the mask for a few days to try and bend it in to place permanently. I’ve also got paint issues in the hair, bit of a smudge on her chest and weak magnets. I know that these are all hand made etc and we can’t be too picky but some of the things that slip through do surprise me.

Yeah, I worry those magnets arent as strong as they could be. The sword wielding one is definitely one you'd want to take off before moving it around. My sword sheath on the back is pretty weak too, but at least once the hair is in place it almost locks it in.

Shame about your mask though, particularly if you think it's worse than mine! You're right about the soft plastic. I've tried bending mine a little to even it out. Tends to go back to its natural position though. I guess from most angles it's not too noticeable.
