Sideshow Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Statue

[furystorm]

Just perused Statue Forum for the first time in over a year, and couldn't find any new posts on this guy.

Maybe I am the only person on the planet with this statue right now?

Hopefully you don't get the crappy $25 refund offer on that head.

No, 4 people ordered one. I'm waiting for him to arrive here in Holland

Make that 5! I ordered it on day 1. I just had to switch it to flex pay since funds were tight.

I usually only collect sideshow Star Wars premium formats, mythos and gentle giant mini busts but this looks awesome and the in hand pics have made me just order this. I think I might get all 3 as they will look cracking all together.

A guy on RS also got his in. Display base was broken.

Agreed. Mine comes in October as I was a little late in my decision to collect this line. Believe it or not, the fact that the line doesn't appear to be doing well and it will likely just be Stormtrooper, Fett and Vader is actually what convinced me. The only other one I'd entertain is Luke and it'd have to be a piece that complimented the Vader, similar to the Koto from a few years ago. I'm fine with the three and done on this line though.

Not happy with this paint application. Am I being overly picky or justified to request replacement?

 

[KingB]

You could always try. It doesn't look too terribly bad to me but things can look different in person.

 

[Python]

They will not replace it for that. it's a tiny scuff, we have to accept such things unfortunately. They will tell you that these are hand painted and inevitably vary slightly. It is however a very easy fix, and presumably not as noticeable in person as much as in that blown up picture?

 

[TRDNiteLife]

Maybe I should specify exactly what I was referring to in the picture. That area circled in red, below the grey circle. That should be painted grey. Instead, on each side, it looks like a brush was just dabbed in each spot instead of the area being properly filled. Anyways, I'll probably just try to mix up some paint and paint it properly.

Overall the piece looks great and I'm happy. I'll be displaying this with the Gentle Giant McQ mini busts. I'll get pictures posted up when I re-organize the display.

 

[Darth Waller]

So weird that they got the small area on his cheek done properly but not those on his ear.

 

[furystorm]

Very eloquently stated.

My current set up until the SS McQ Fett statue arrives.

Thank you.

Yes and I have owned it in the past. It was a nice piece and good size. I can't specifically remember why I sold it though. May have been the size/base wasn't working for me at the time.

Yeah, I sold mine too. If it was polystone I probably would have kept it.
