The Great FARAMIR Image Thread!!!

[Ultimate Weapon]

Mine says shipping soon - though with my luck it will arrive the week after next - right after I leave on my roadtrip.

 

[Captain Faramir]

Yes! Faramir's status has changed to SHIPPED!!! Monday, baby! He's on his way!!!

 

[Captain Faramir]

CARD DECLINED!?!?!?!?!??

Yup, card declined! I never even got an email saying it was going to process in 24 hours, which in 70+ orders from SS I have never not gotten.

So, its to late today to call SS

I will call them Monday and see what the deal is.

If I loose my exc. Faramir I am gonna be ****ing pissed!!!

Don't worry, your highness. That happened to me with Boromir, and with one little phone call everything was settled and I got him on the first day. In fact, I didn't even call when that happened with Plo Koon, and suddenly he showed up on my door! Don't worry, it'll all work out.

 

[Darth Sheba]

I got the three-day notice, but that's it. I ordered Faramir pretty late in the game, so I guess he'll get here later than everyone else. No biggie.

 

[pixletwin]

Memnoch21 just wrote me to say that he will be getting his next week and he'll ship it right to me.

 

[Captain Faramir]

*sigh*

Still two more days. So close, yet so far! It seems the closer I get, the harder it is to wait for him. Oh, the agony!



Must be strong . . .

Unfortunately, there seems to be an inconsistency with Sideshow emailing the last few months. There have been a few purchases where I never get an invoice email, but fortunately I can see the charges on my account before month end. Email notices are a tough thing, it's subject to the person who has to send them out sending them out or doing it correctly, and even when it's sent, with all the security these days with spyware and viruses and what not, email that is sent doesn't always come through.

Yes, that's right. I have trouble receiving SSC mails since the end of January if I recall it right. I don't get the tracking mails, and have missed several X-day notices and invoices. I informed SSC about this, but it's not getting any better.

Well, Sideshow can only do so much, then each email carrier, as well as possibly even your internet provider, can cause problems as well. I deal with it all the time at my work, I'm in charge of the email and when it's down, it's a wild goose chase to find out where the problem is and what needs to be fixed.

Tell me about it!!
But it's not my provider, since all relevant SSC mail addresses where added to their white list. Also, it's pretty noticeable that it's always the same sort of mails that get 'lost', and there are others with similar problems.

 

[Captain Faramir]

Just one more day! Man, tomorrow can't come soon enough. I've just got to hold myself together for ONE MORE DAY. I think I can I think I can I think I can!

 

[Darth Sheba]

Save some of that excitement for the next figure you're due to get.

For those of us who only do the 1:6 scale action figures...I think we'll have PLENTY of time to work up excitement for the next LOTR offering. After listening to Sideshow podcasts, reading newsletters, and talking to Sideshow people at SDCC and C4, I am of a mind that a new 1:6 scale action figure from this line is a long time coming if it isn't just a dream.

The same thing happened to BTVS and she ended up with...what was it?...2 years between figures?

 

[MaulFan]

It'll be nice when the image thread gets some images in it.

LOL - Ain't it the truth!

Don't let us down Captain Faramir!

If that is the case, I can only hope that the next LotR 12" is really really worth waiting for. A nice female character wouldn't be bad.

I'll do my best! He comes tomorrow and I really want to get my fam to let me use the camera for a ton of pics and a super-detailed review. I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready!

If this is truly the case, I will most likely abandon this line. I had very high hopes for this line. I had pretty much gotten away from collecting 1/6th scale until SST announced Aragorn. The LOTR trilogy are my favorite movies, and I was stoked when quality figures were being released. I cannot, and will not pay the money for the PF's or the dioramas that are coming. I have the 3 exclusives and Faramir is supposed to be here about Thursday and I think they are great, but the wait is to long. They should know what they have in the works and should at least be dropping hints. Each week I look forward to the newsletter and each week ive been let down. If they were going to stop the 1/6th line, I wish they would just announce it already. I know that they have said that they are just starting to release figs, ill believe it when I see it. Reminds me alot of 21st century toys in the end.

 

[The Josh]

There is something coming at SDCC I do believe that. I don't believe at all it's a long time more coming before we get something.

Sideshow has flat out said before, they don't like to mention coming products until it reaches a certain point, so they could have 20 LOTR figures in the works, but if for some reason they aren't to a show off point, SSC will keep it under wraps. Sideshow is also working on armor in the Star Wars line and is likely going to apply the same R&D to LOTR, many of those characters have armored costumes. Not to mention, the core hobbits will require bodies that haven't been created just yet, and as a business, they will do so in a manner than can be used significantly across lines to make it worth the time and expense. I'm sure the line will pick up, it would be almost pointless to get this line and have it die so quickly, I'm sure there's a good cost for producing LOTR, probably even heftier than some of the other dead licenses.

 

[Captain Faramir]

At this point I think Sideshow is figuring it might as well wait until SDCC to release any information. If they're waiting to announce something big like an armored character or a new body type, SDCC is just the place to do it, even though the wait will be excruciating for us fans. And a figure like Gandalf is a big enough name to merit a Comic-Con announcement as well. SO, it seems that Sideshow will likely go that route, even though that's really pushing it as far as keeping fans happy.

Despite that, I couldn't give up on this line. It's one of their best, and I just can't see them abandoning it, even if it must endure such a slow pace for a while. The quality is so good that I'll take whatever they give me, even if that meant lower edition sizes and higher prices. Call my loyalty crazy, but I really respect this line and will collect every exclusive they make. I will follow Sideshow--to whatever end.
