"so i just got this in the butt"????????

Is it possible that you have the exclusive number 284 / 500 and your friend as the Regular edition 284 / 750? This one just looks too good to be a knock off unless the seller is getting them from the same factory as SS. Also International dealers unlike US dealers if I understand it correctly do get to order Exclusives at wholesale. So it is not impossible for a seller to have several of the same piece that is an exclusive if they are outside the US.

I was thinking the same thing... he may just be a retailer. Here is a list of Sideshow stuff from his listings for the last 30 days, and from his feedback as far back as is clickable...

So, not counting "no sales" and not knowing if any are relists, he has sold...

13 Hulk VS Spider-Man Regular dioramas
10 + 2 pending Ironman Comiquette Exclusives

Interesting, that these appear to be the only two Sideshow products he has sold since January... I'm suspicious!

...and, if he was an international retailer and got these Exclusives from Sideshow, wouldn't they frown upon a retailer selling Exclusives at inflated prices???

The story gets more juicy as we delve deeper into it.

DUN... DUN... DUN!

Looks like we got some detective work on these forums.

i was about to say the same thing!!!!

We're more than a little suspicious of this seller...

OH NO!!!! Doesn't sound good.

 

[The Godfather]

Nice leg work Lonnie I would say after seeing that I don't think he could possible have that many Exclusive Iron Mans. If he is selling Knock Offs even if they are very good ones that is just not cool.

 

[Batty]

No, that doesn't sound good.

Maybe this is the reason GG has gone to a serial number system from the regular numbering.

I agree...not cool at all. I would be majorly pissed if I shelled out that much money and found out I got a knock-off. Hopefully SSC can do something about it??

Does Sideshow intend to do something or is this whole situation out of their control?

I have a very strong feeling that these are indeed copies or fakes but what can really be done?

 

[The Mike]

Wow....if this truly is a knock-off its an amazing one but at those prices that's an amazing burn. Its $120 to ship it to the states if it ends at $650 for example then that's $770 for a non-authentic piece.....jeesh! How much does an actual Iron Man Excl Comiquette demand on the secondary market?!?!?

 

[nash]

well it is from Hong Kong, maybe some factory workers stole some product and filled in the edition numbers themselves.

Wow, I was wondering about the glut of IM's on the auction block recently. Man, this is going to be hard to sell in the future. Will we have to prove that ours are not fake?

I wonder if SSC could notify eBay that this seller is selling off knockoffs claiming they are legit.

 

[LOTRFan]

So just how many of you are panicked now about your own Ironman stautes?!



Yeesh, maybe you should sell this one now.

 

[Eli26]

We don't know if these are fakes or not.

Dang paranoid collectors!

 

[El Roranous]

i asked my friend to get me some pics of the other iron man staues # and box # as well. i paid 755.00 dlvd. thanks

Honestly, this is the part that looks off to me. Has anyone gotten a piece from Sideshow numbered like this before?

 

[Jen]

We don't know if these are fakes or not.

Dang paranoid collectors!

True, everyone could be jumping the gun...but it doesn't seem likely. I mean how the hell could this guy have 12+ Ironman EXCLUSIVES???? I seriously hope that if these are fakes (which it seems they are) that SSC can do something about it.

Any easy solution, anyone who owns an IM Maquette, just post a picture of your numbers. compare how they are written and there you go.
