so i just got this in the but

[El Roranous]

Okay, just took a picture of my base. Was going to post it, but here's my thought: Aren't we just helping this seller? If he comes here and sees how the bases are supposed to be numbered, he'll go out an buy a different pen right?

Or, is it too far gone now, so much water under the bridge so I might as well?

Anyway for Rumadman, PM me your email address and I'll send you a pic of my base.

Very true. I hope this guy stops selling these if they are fakes.

Honestly though, if someone can make a statue that good, I would think finding out how to properly write the numbers on the base would be easy as pie.

 

[Fritz]

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

I'm not panicked at all. I bought mine from Bannister so I assumed it was fake all along.

Now that Bob fellow seems to have a lot of Sideshow things for sale. Hmmmm...

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

If Sideshow ever does infomercials I nominate P!tu to act silly on TV at 3am.

Awesome!

Maybe he knows someone at a Sideshow factory and has them making more of the Iron Man statue while the office is closed....it has happened at other companies.

Or maybe he is a smart flipper and loaded up on them. ?

I would go with option 1. Which is totally f'n LAME!!!!!

 

[the Doctor]

if there are good fakes out there it calls into question everyones iron man.

unless sideshow themselves can show us how to tell the difference...but if they did then the bootleggers could use that info also.

basically we collectors are in big trouble

 

[LOTRFan]

That is the single-greatest copy I have ever seen, in fact it just has to be too good.

My guess is that there is something shady going on in the factory.

[carbo-fation]

Great video P!tu! That was pretty funny!
As for the Ironman, people who have a copy of the exclusive need to post pictures of their base!

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???

wasn't convinced if this guy was selling fakes but after looking at that list, i bet he is. i bet the reason he's only selling the Regular Hulk dios is because it's too much of a hassle to add in the electronics for the lights yet making a solid Stark head/mold is the same process as making the statue itself. easy Exc Ironman.
man this sucks. i had no idea SS stuff was being copied. really glad now that i kept all my emails/invoices ect from SS for my Ironman.

That looks fake to me Cosmo. Just like your Venom 1:1 bust.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Just checked my IRONMAN.. its in gold.. And I got mine straight from sideshow..:emperor

 

[Ryanfromindiana]

I hope it turns out to be legit. However this has got to be the funniest/most unfortunate title of a thread on these boards. I only opened this thread out of morbid curiousity.

 

[nash]

well so far with cosmo's number, it's clearly a different handwriting.

 

[lcummins]

well so far with cosmo's number, it's clearly a different handwriting.

Cosmo's is a regular, and the other is an Exclusive... probably produced at different times.
