i finally scored a babydoll (regular version) , paid it more than retail price but less than ebay prices , because rogue pf turn out so bad i decided to put the money in babydoll and i'm really glad i did , i ordered the other girls right away and now let's hope my preorders come through without any problems

Darth Snoopy the funny thing about the extreme close up picture posted(beautiful as they are) is that you almost see too much of specific areas, and then when you have the statue as a whole it is a completely different package. Baby Doll is still my favourite but I have to tip my hats off to the painters and sculptors of Amber because it is crazy. Although these should be listed as mixed media, as they are not 100% polystone.

Congrats, G! I'm happy to see that you're pleased with your Amber!

Tell me about it, I got mine Friday and was thinking the same thing. How did they paint her fish nets????? She came out crazy awesome. I wish Rocket was next because I didn't care much for sweet pea.

Fish nets exactly what i was wondering, statue was done so well cant wait to see the other girls.

Good thing Sideshow's factories weren't in charge of Amber's paint app

I hear ya, G, I love looking at the fine detail on my Babydoll statue!

IMO, I doubt Gentle Giant will even make a dent with Sideshow.

They have screwed waaaay to many people over in the past and especially recently with the Babydoll debacle.

I know I'm done with them.

Honestly don't know much about GG Only became familiar with them thanks to the fantastic BD and Amber statues..Is their customer service THAT bad?? Would you consider buying from them if they fix their CS issues?

Q1: Their CS department is horrible, IMO.

Q2: I will not be buying anything from Gentle Giant again. I won't even consider it.

My experience with GG customer service has been good. They were a bit dishonest regarding the release date and delays with the Sucker Punch girls, but understanding about QC fears after the Slave Liea bust, and reassured me that if I was not completely satisfied I could get a full refund.
Of my two experiences with SS customer service the first was horrible the second was positive but a but delayed.
Babydoll was delayed, but when it comes to collectables I much prefer to have it done well then done quickly. I think the Sucker Punch girls speak for themselves in the quality category.
Regarding GG's handling of the piece. Not sure what people were expecting? Huge amount of interest in the piece the moment it was unveiled at SDCC 2010 and limited to 500. Guaranteed preorders available only through GG direct.
Not sure it's fair to blame GG for those that ordered through an etailer to save a few bucks or came late to the party.
After the Rogue fiasco are you refusing to purchase from them again? At least the end result with Babydoll was a perfect production piece after a long wait.

Sorry to long a post. Did not mean to write that much. These are gorgeous no matter who's brand name is on the box. Havin a hard time understanding how anyone can pass on them. And I hated the film

I just didn't appreciate all the double talk that Gentle Giant did with regards to the Babydoll release.

Did they produce a product of high quality with Babydoll? Absolutely. But I won't buy from them again.

I've bought more from Sideshow, with little to no problems, than I have Gentle Giant. Sideshow has proven to me over the years that they will resolve any problems I take to them.

Gentle Giant has not. Not to me anyways.

As far as the Rogue statue is concerned, mine wasn't as bad as others and only a minor fix is needed on the eyeshadow for both portraits. So yes, I will continue to buy from Sideshow because I know their CS department is still the best.

Fair enough
I always agree and applaud voting with your wallet.

I agree that BD and especially Amber(who gets my vote for lady statue of the year) are simply too fantastic to miss out..though you're taking a big chance in case your statue comes damaged

Riky my partner has been a long time customer of GG and lemme tell you...if you are a star wars bust collector, you'd be singing a different tune. GG is a total pain in the a55! just google horseface leia and you'll understand

I think Babydoll should get statue of the year. JMO of course.

 

[grphyx1]

She should. It's quite frankly one of the best that I have seen. and if the dark lord of the sith beagle has anything to say about it, it will be statue of the year.

As do I.

Well They're both of of equal quality, just that Amber is way sexier..Sooo..I take it you're not interested in getting the entire Sucker Punch girls line?

Yup! I went into panic mode when that was released fearing for the SP girls. They went the licenser approval route with that as well and I called them about it. That is among the worst Proto to Production comparisons ever. SP line is even more of surprise if you take that into consideration. Quite a turnaround
