The Plastic Fett POLL

[LOTRFan]

How many people do you let come in and handle your PF's?

I don't think anyone will know the difference between Fett and Obi as far as material used.

Let's face it, this thing still LOOKS amazing! That's the ONLY thing I care about and it should be the only thing you care about.

For me at least there is a nagging voice that exists in my head that "I WILL KNOW." Perhaps I should seek professional help for this, but it does matter to me.

2) Everything is plastic! Gun, body everything.

Money issues led to my cancellation, but if it weren't for that the plastic wouldn't bother me. I know situations like the Anakin lip paint have people weary of Sideshow's QC, but with their higher end items, I've seen nothing but great efforts on the part of QC, fine products, and a continued strive to do the best for the collector's investment. The recent Jabba figure was done in vinyl, and I believe without ball jointed shoulders, to make the product the most enduring it could be, and for the investment he is, I am glad for their approach and very happy with the final product, so with the explanation about Boba, I would be fine with their choice and thought process.

Good thing it'll be on the UPS truck in March and not July

Don't worry about the gun, worry about the antenna. If it's plastic too... yikes.

Let's face it, this thing still LOOKS amazing! That's the ONLY thing I care about and it should be the only thing you care about. I can deal with the plastic armor and I'm not happy about the plastic body. But when all is said and done, we care most that this looks like a PF. If it still looks like what I ordered, I'll be keeping it.

But if SS pulls this $hit again, there will be hell to pay. :emperor

Oh you are too nice Chris. give them hell and tell them this is unacceptable. You were in it for a $300 Fett made out of quality polystone. You are getting a large plastic action figure. I swear that they are probably testing the market to see if this will fly in the future.

And it SHOULD matter, because you would have paid polystone prices for a cheaper ABS piece.

I hope they're hearing this loud and clear right now: IT WON'T!!!

NO IT WILL NOT!​

I'm not going to pretend to be happy about the situation. SS should have told us this earlier (like you said). They've known about this since production started which I assume was pretty damn close to or pre-order. That pi$$es me off more than anything. It seems back stabbing. But in the end, I want a great looking Fett and this is still a great looking Fett.

Does seem kinda bait and switch.

It shouldn't fly THIS TIME unless they correct the retail price!!!

Just like a small chip on a statue would, knowing Fett is made out of plastic will make me angry every time I look at him.

Again, I can live with him being made from plastic. I just WILL NOT pay Polystone prices for said ABS plastic item. NO WAY.

 

[El Roranous]

If Fett is going to be made out of plastic with an articulated neck, then they might as well give him articulated everything. Let everyone pose the hell out of him...or wait, that might increase the price to nearly $400!

Jesus Christ man. How many posts can you say the same thing? You, I, and everyone else knows that is NOT going to happen. It would be wonderful, but it would be SS admitting that the material is inferior, which they will not do.

Then cancel your order and shut the hell up already.

I'm going to wait to get him in hand and see how I like him before I make a decision.

Seriously though guys...

There's no code of ethics in the collectible world, only profit margin.

Loki... You're relatively new to this internet thing, aren't you? Getting all bent out of shape because of my opinion.

Either that or you're under 21.

Seriously, though... they surely won't consider a price adjustment if people like you run away from the principle of this matter with your tails between your legs. Quit being so damn naive. What they are doing here is WRONG.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the only polystone on the Fett was the mandalorian artifact?
