Sidious Mechno-Chair IMAGE thread

[The Josh]

Nice! My review isn't up yet either. I'm not gonna be reviewing this piece as I'm hoping someone else from ST will so I can take a 1 figure break.

 

[Captain Faramir]

It really is a great looking figure. I passed for the ANH Leia, but wow it looks nice!

Nice private Sith meeting shot you have there JB. Is it just me, or does anyone else find that when you photograph Sidious with other SSC SW figures, he looks smaller compared to the other figure(s) than if you just look at them side by side with the naked eye?

 

[The Josh]

I agree nice shot JB.

This isn't like one of the regular 1:6th scale figures where you can do a TON of things with it. This really is more of a display piece and a display piece only. So I'm not sure how much of the normal enjoying you can get.

Well yah it looks nice but it bothers me that I can't just pick it up and play with it without having to struggle to get it to stand without it falling over. It almost needs a clear stand beneath it for support to hold it up or something. I also don't want to have to worry about the plastic legs bending after time. So far I already had to readjust so that it's not too heavy on the feet.

It looks nice, sure. But it's becoming more of a nuisance than anything. I might just ditch the chair eventually. And I was really loving this piece too when they announced it.

I've got the same problems with mine. It's a balancing act just to get the thing to stay up and if I touch it let alone want to move it it collapses.

After reading about so many having similar problems I don't think sending it back for a replacement is an option. It's either super glue the legs in place and live with it or send it back for a refund.

I sooo looked forward to having this too. This is the very first SSC product that I've had problems with.

 

[The Josh]

Why wouldn't sending it back for a replacement not be an option?

With mine I tightened the screws a little more and wrapped the legs under a little bit more than the pics I've seen and it worked.

I think that for me this piece is just a bit of a bummer. Like everyone else has said it looks nice. But its not a cool enough item to deal with the annoyances it seems to produce.

Its actually been sitting knocked over for a few days because I don't feel like messing with it again. I need to try the tightening trick... but the bigger issue is the feet were actually wilting, which you really can't do much about.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I tried to get mine corrected without sending it back...but I do not want to lose the window. The smaller legs have 2 points of articulation and my issue is with the one that does not have a screw that can be adjusted. One of those joints is very loose and will not support the figure at all. I will be getting a replacement.

 

[FlyAndFight]

For those of you having a problem with the legs staying in place, why not simply super-glue it in the correct stance? I know it's pretty much permanent but it's what I will do if I mine has the same problem.

I just figured with the amount of people having the same problem as me that if I do go thru the hassle of sending it back that my chances of getting one with the exact same problem are pretty high. If I do send it back it won't be for a replacement.

It's the larger legs without the tension screw in them that's giving me fits. Besides the fact that it sounds like the softer plastic feet are beginning to curl under the weight of Sidious, ain't no helpin' that.

Mine's in the box right now. I might take it out later and just glue the legs in place and make it a statue type item.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Does anyone have any more "glowing" pictures?

Josh, we never saw one from you yet?

 

[The Josh]

Well, it's worth the risk isn't it? Worst case is you get another you're not happy with then send it back and take your money to use on something else.

Glad you reminded me WG. I'll get that up today.

Cool, thanks! Check the Frodo thread too.

Yep, that was my first thought when I got this thing. Probably what I'll do.

Here's a really crappy blurry version. Couldn't keep still enough.

 

[Captain Faramir]

Hmm. Looks like Darth Sidious isn't getting very good reception today.

 

[Wor-Gar]

What color is your "underglow" Josh?

White seems to be the most popular, but there are some yellow and pink.

 

[The Josh]

I'm in the white group in more ways than one.

Sorry for the crappy pic. Without the flash I couldn't keep myself still enough.
