To those who contacted SS about the paint cracks on the base, how did you take pics of them? My cracks can barely be viewed on camera.

I don't think your base are cracks. They are more like smears rubs. Best way to take pics is through natural lighting and no flash on camera. You will find the best result.

Well, when someone asks people directly what they think, what other response is there? Furthermore, I never said not to keep it, just to see if a better one is available or use the defects as an excuse to get a discount. Nothing wrong there. Mine is better than his in every area, by the way.

:lol...I'm guess you thought that was meant for you. Great story "by the way"...:lol

I used a LED flash light and mine seems like cracks, since i feel the cracks when i drag my nail along the surface compare to the other X bases

Save me easter bunny from this lines fiasco! I swear on... door. If Colossus turns out with crappy paint apps, i will sell this line off ASAP to break even!

Time to check Psylocke again, last time I did it was just that small crack. Hopefully it stayed that way.

Been looking for a reason to leave this hobby and that will be the breaking point for me as well.

told you guys if you get on the wait list later you are screwed. It's their standard policy, once they run out of replacement parts they will never do it right by the customers. You either keep a broken ex or return it for refund, nevermind it's worth much higher $ now and the fact you are a loyal customer who trusted ss with a preorder.

over at lotr section, you got guys with no choice but to keep black orc ex with broken off arms because sideshow refuse to get more replacement parts and will only offer refund to return, even though the ex doubled in price during that time, so if they return the broken one they have to pay double from ebay.

people who did not order from sideshow directly are also screwed, as those reseller dont have as a good return policy.

rogue ultron psylocke, keep it rolling sideshow! :yess:


That's pretty awful.

I check my piece that I got a month ago every day - no problems, not even using photos blown up to 100 x the original size. My black orc also fine.

Did you just ask them partial refund? I have only one tiny crack. Do i have to keep it and ask for partial refund? or wait for replacement?

Didn't ask for anything. That's up to you man, you'll be on a waitlist for a replacement though.

I went back and took a look, and it looks like the paint is really chipping on the back of the right leg.









I put in a ticket with sideshow for a replacement so we'll see how that goes. This was the EX but everything else looks fine. The heads look great as well. I don't think it will be difficult to get a replacement body as the reg is still on sale. But this is my first time ordering direct from sideshow, I hope everything goes well!

Also I saw some people asking about how they got their photos; personally for me I used my rebel xti camera with the flash and it was able to light it up pretty well. I couldn't get focus at all on my phone and the flash just washed everything out. But like someone else said, use natural lighting, it would be the best option for photos with your phone.

There's a waitlist for replacements. What could that mean?

:acme

Good luck my friend.

Wow those are some serious cracks. I think there were some faulty batches on why this is happening. Luckily I didnt get one of those batches. GL all on getting a replacement.

Maybe lack of primer in that area, I'm not sure tbh. Maybe one of our local painters can tell us.

I want first dibs on your AoA and 1/4 Apocalypse statues if you sell everything off. ;)
