Spooktacular 2017

[NorthernLadMSP]

Didn't see a thread yet for all the reveals they're going to be doing, so I thought I would start one to be used for Spook discussion of new pieces/previews/contests.

Susan from Sideshow was just live and stated there was a huge reveal on Monday (a statue of some kind) that will be very limited and in-stock and up for immediate shipment on Monday.

[dino76m]

evil lyn po date is 24th.. damn , what could it be,, has to be horror themed, Vampi maybe,,

[Ginormousthumbs]

It’s sooooo crazzzy!

[dino76m]

maybe COTD something

[BurningRage]

Could be color variant of something.

[EnShinNoi]

It's probably that Shard variant that got mixed up with the regular batch.

[Kovenor]

It's probably that Shard variant that got mixed up with the regular batch.

thats what im thinking

[dechirico7]

Dead Shard is my guess. We know she is in stock because someone accidently got that version.

[dino76m]

Susan said it's.something a lot of people have been asking ..could be Supergirl ..black cat classic costume...but it's.probably something related.to horror .. could be shard

[COI]

It's probably that Shard variant that got mixed up with the regular batch.

Wow, really? I didn't hear about that. Pretty funny.

[Gecktechs]

It'd be cool if they teased a Mistress Death PF/Maquette for Thanos :P

[Kovenor]

Wow, really? I didn't hear about that. Pretty funny.

yeah i received one of them.. the only person to get it from what I understand, but it has an ES of 100... but for some reason Im not so sure if this is what she was talking about.. she said alot of people were asking for it.. but I duno.. most people didnt even know about it. either way ill be here monday in case its something to do with CoTD ill be getting it :) unless its the shard ofc..

[Eky]

A reveal that's *in* stock ?
hmm.. what could it be???

[dechirico7]

Knowing Sideshow they will put that Shard up for order at 3 am.

[Indomitus]

I wish Sideshow would at least provide a list of all the statues that will be released in whatever form to see if I would even have interest. At this point it's all rewards for me but we'll see.

My take away from the videos is no sniveling, or was it snorkeling? Recommend you go watch the videos as they say and not take just anyone's word for it... :battherapy:

[COI]

I like that Susan called out the sniveling.

[ComicJesus]

I like that Susan called out the sniveling.

I’m not a fan of it. Some people are obviously unhappy with how they are doing business, customers, and the response is essentially ridicule.

[Nugchompa]

If it is that dead Shard, it’s an easy pass for me

[COI]

I’m not a fan of it. Some people are obviously unhappy with how they are doing business, customers, and the response is essentially ridicule.

They're giving stuff away for free, and people complain that it's unfair that they didn't get a freebie. That's not ridicule, that's calling a spade a spade.

Not getting a $5 reward code isn't a legit customer concern.

[NorthernLadMSP]

It's probably that Shard variant that got mixed up with the regular batch.

I thought of that too. But, then I thought nah. Susan made it seem like it was a really big bang kind of thing. And a Shard variant doesn't really fit that bill, IMO.

How they respond to customers regardless of the situation is a customer concern. This isn’t an isolated issue. Lots of people are upset with their riduculous system. It’s a joke.

With the way their customer service operates, I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised that this is their response. If there was another company making 1/4 scale in North America, I would have left for them a long time ago.

How much experience have you had first-hand with their customer service, and how much of your view is being colored by stuff you've read or heard?

I'm not trying to be snide here, but even people who aren't crazy about Sideshow admit their customer service is pretty good most of the time.

And I also will never understand the complaining about the points and contest/giveaways. This is free stuff. If you have a complaint as a customer, that means you bought something and didn't get your money's worth or there's a problem with the product. If you've seen instances where customer service were rude or ridiculed a paying customer based on a concern they had about their purchase, please point me to it because I've never seen it.

[Kovenor]

yea thats what i was thinking too

[azurepred]

looks like the universal monster pfs are making a comeback. I'm curious how much of a upgrade they will be over the classics.

now that I think about it thats what it must be... a very limited edition set of the monster statues sold as a set. Probably 100 to match the prints..?

[Ginormousthumbs]

I get a little disappointed when I miss out on the bigger value codes but I get it over. It’s awfully generous of them to give out freebies.

It’s been a mixed bag with them. Well this specifically is bad, I think it’s disingenous and then their attitude when people try to address it with them is awful. I’ve had bad encounters with them modifying orders. I’ve had some good ones too, when I’ve gotten expired codes, but then seen the same situation where they did nothing for the person.

I just think their attitude is very telling. Why piss your customers off? You cant always make everyone happy, but to then go and be snarky about it? It’s the icing on the cake of this entire ridiculous system.

[BOWEN NUT]

Guys, I had the best costumer service experience with SS the other day. It started as a complaint call... I had missed out on the "ITSTIME" reward code due to the time limit, the web address they provided in the chat sending me to "Alderaan places", and not being able to go to a place I could enter the code right from the website...anyway during this call I also mentioned that I had recently had to cancel the Bane PF due to personal matters and lost over $300 in rewards because of their policy. The girl on the line was able to check on some things and actually for "one time only" refund me all my lost points! I went from upset/irritated to happy beyond belief in the blink of an eye.
So, SS CS has been pretty good to me.

[Tbolt]

Kovenor, what was the outcome of your Shard order? They let you keep it?

I’m really hoping for those Universal Monsters. Frankie without the awkward hands!

I think, pretty much nobody on here has a clue what you are on about. Sooo you complain to them a lot about expired codes or something?

SS Customer Service is the BEST I deal with on any level. I think frankly, your alone in the wilderness with your attempts to sharpshooter that aspect of their operations.

In this particular circumstance I’m applauding SS when I’ve received an expired box code on a shipment.
Just go have a read of the codes discussion thread. People pointing out that the redemption windows are way too small and the ridiculousness of this new system. To keep this on topic, I guess we will see on Monday what SS is going to do for Spook. Doing my best to be polite here. And here’s the thing, this isn’t even about that anymore. I was just saying that SS’s attitude when it comes to this issue leaves a little be desired.

[Tbolt]

The short windows for random FREE codes aren’t even worth my time to try for.

However I’ve scored codes, box codes, and a mailed $50 off card in the last year, plus their rewards system. That’s a lot more than anyone else I do business with does. Sooo because they do ONE thing that you can’t take full advantage of, they have a bad attitude towards their customers. Got it. Forgot the Era I was living in.

Can’t wait for Monday! Bring on the reveals and whatever else!

[ambasah]

a surprise "very limited" statue will be sold on monday. It is not a pre-order and will be shipped right away.

I would bet $100 that it is the Shard variant with a 100 edition size.

[BurningRage]

Didn't they do that with some dinosaur egg once?

[Josh-a-tron]

Didn't they do that with some dinosaur egg once?

Storm White Variant, Sinestro Green Variant and I believe the Black Widow White variant as well.

[Medusoid]

Didn't they do that with some dinosaur egg once?

You mean Euoplocephalus in Egg? Retail was about $40 and sold on eBay for hundreds awhile back.

[Tbolt]

Storm White Variant, Sinestro Green Variant and I believe the Black Widow White variant as well.

Crimson Baroness too.

I’m hoping for those Universal Monsters that were teased with the Ross prints... since those go on sale
Monday. But that Shard variant has to figure somewhere into this years spook.

[dino76m]

maybe supergirl or black car classic costume,, susan said it something a lot of people asked for

[HBK83]

dark pheonix variant ? With the es and slow sales that would give them freedom to do a mock paint up

[NorthernLadMSP]

I was thinking maybe green version of Phoenix. That'd be way more epic than that dumb Shard variant.

I'd be so pissed if its a variant phoenix, since i wouldn't have the money to buy it, i hope its not phoenix lol.

[johnclone]

Spooktacular is starting soon! Just about 6 hours till it begins!

[dechirico7]

A Phoenix variant isn't really Spooktacular material.

[cstojano]

never mind

[ukshaun]

I guess it's started :)

I guess the idea is to sit in front of your computer for 4 days straight, with various windows open including YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Email. Anywhere else?


/is this what my life has come to? :D

[johnclone]

I watched the clock tick down and then... it got to 00 00 00 and then... it stopped.
Not sure what I expected to happen exactly.

[johnclone]

Sweet! 5 smackers in points

I don't expect that to last long.

Thanks, Darkest Knight!

[Minister88]

^whats the code?

Not sure what I expected to happen exactly.

There's a contest giveaway on Facebook to commence the festivities but considering the early hour I wouldn't expect any codes until their business hours. I'm still excited for the week, should be enjoyable to follow at the very least.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. Yay for pleasant surprises! :)

[Minister88]

Thanks got it! Just curious, where did you guys get the notification? Bc I have FB, Insta and Twitter notifications on and nothing..

[johnclone]

code is now active!

GETSPOOKY

It came from the mysterious figure known as "Darkest Knight" that's all I know about the origin of this code.

[Bill Lehecka]

It came from the mysterious figure known as "Darkest Knight" that's all I know about the origin of this code.

My guess is that it's a newsletter code, so I'm going to guess that code will last for longer than 10 minutes. Probably good for 24 hours.

[ukshaun]

I didn't see GETSPOOKY appear any where?

[Medusoid]

Me neither, but it works.

$5, woo!

Ah. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

I think its a newsletter code guys, it might be valid all day.

[ukshaun]

Me neither, but it works.

$5, woo!

The $5 fails to show up in my Sideshow account?

[Ginormousthumbs]

I just used it.

Yep, I just received the email. It says it's good until 10/30.

[ukshaun]

New Code: WITCH

good on the Scarlet Witch 1/6

[Josh-a-tron]

I wonder if we're going to get another scavenger hunt for a collectible pin. I love my pin from last year.

[Nugchompa]

I'm surprised there has only been a newsletter code at this point. They usually start things with a bang.

[Josh-a-tron]

They've been on twitter for the last few hours doing giveaways.

I got it too and for some reason the site keeps rejecting it.

HA! I was right on the money! :buttrock:

For anyone that has the EX of Dark Phoenix, I think the EX head would look amazing on this green variant.

[bigwallys]

Thanks!

[Josh-a-tron]

She looks great, just not for me. Hope you all snag one if you need her.

[Demona]

I wish they would have put the other head (EX) on this green phoenix.

Congrats to those who want her. $525 seems a touch high for a repaint though.

And nice call, Northern :)

[Demona]

Try it here as well. - https://www.sideshowtoy.com/events/spooktacular

Thank you!!

And thanks everybody for keeping track of the codes for me/us :)

For anyone wondering, that SNIVEL code was from solving a riddle from the fortune teller.

[reavengeance]

do the fortune teller riddles contain codes?

[BurningRage]

Anyone renting souls?

[Nugchompa]

do the fortune teller riddles contain codes?

At least one did. The answer was SNIVEL.

[Josh-a-tron]

For anyone wondering, that SNIVEL code was from solving a riddle from the fortune teller.

Yeah, they do different things with the fortune teller, sometimes codes, sometimes giveaways, have to search through the answers its gives at least once a day to see what's there.

[Nugchompa]

Anyone renting souls?

From the Fortune Teller: “Now seeking souls for rent. Apply to MOTW@sideshow.com, subject line: Soul Rental. Include your contact info. FYI - No sniveling. Replies are sent to those selected”

[nearmint]

Dark Phoenix Green variant is up! Now shipping! 300 edition size.

Does it make sense that she has the white eyes, or is that a Dark Phoenix thing?

[johnclone]

i seem to recall Phoenix having all white eyes too

[EricS6X]

SNIVEL
$5.00

[SONICobra]

Does it make sense that she has the white eyes, or is that a Dark Phoenix thing?

they still white out sometimes when she uses her powers, the ex head would have been preferable but might have upset a lot of people with the OG phoenix

[nearmint]

Okay. Thanks, guys.

[NorthernLadMSP]

Does it make sense that she has the white eyes, or is that a Dark Phoenix thing?

Not a Dark Phoenix thing. It's similar to Storm in that they tend to go all white when she's using her powers. One of the portraits on the XM Phoenix had all white eyes too.

[Demona]

Does it make sense that she has the white eyes, or is that a Dark Phoenix thing?

i seem to recall Phoenix having all white eyes too

It depended. The white eyes usually signified her going to max level, aka borderline Dark. Later on in the comics when she adopted wearing the green suit again, her eyes would stay green, but depending on artist, may have hints of red. White eyes were used sometimes to show the transition to the astral plane.

White eyes are trademark Storm. IMO it's kinda a cop-out to not put her beautiful green eyes on this piece. Green Phoenix is good, saved the galaxy and the X-Men. She's not supposed to look psychotic.

[cstojano]

From the Fortune Teller: “Now seeking souls for rent. Apply to MOTW@sideshow.com, subject line: Soul Rental. Include your contact info. FYI - No sniveling. Replies are sent to those selected”

I don't even know what this means? You email them your contact info and they do what with it? Drawing, giveaway?? Its like you need a Bloomberg machine to keep up.

[Demona]

No they don't. Her eyes are usually green when she's using her powers. Look at Jean before and after the Phoenix saga -- her eyes are rarely white.

Sorry, I won't derail the code thread. I'm sure there is a thread dedicated this is variant.....

Sorry, I won't derail the code thread. I'm sure there is a thread dedicated this is variant.....

It's artist interpretation. I've seen her drawn with all white eyes in the green suit many times. So, while it may not have been that way in 1980, I'd hardly call it an error.

Besides, I already stated in two different threads that the EX head that came with Dark Phoenix would look amazing on this piece.

I didn't say it was an error, see my first reply. I said it was rare and usually a sign she was about to go ballistic (aka Dark). I'm saying that your statement of her eyes always being white when she uses her powers is false. To this day, white eyes on Jean mean the same -- she's tempted to go postal. It's not a routine thing like Storm.

[ukshaun]

This Spook thing is time consuming if you are using a laptop (like i am). Free world wide shipping sounds good if it happens, and works on something i want :)

[krzykoopa]

Ok enough about the whites of her eyes.

[Demona]

Let me rebump that SNIVEL is the most recent code.

[johnclone]

Can someone explain the soul collecting things to me. Do you email/tweet a specific piece you want and what you would do for it?

[Josh-a-tron]

No, you email what you would do for a prize, the select it. You can go on twitter and ask SideshowChicky for soul information. She's very helpful.

[Nugchompa]

I'm hoping they release at least 1 or 2 CotD pieces. They are the main thing I collect from Sideshow at this point. They were also the stars of SDCC

[SONICobra]

i hope they still put the swamp thing blog up tomorrow, dont know if theyre saving that for a "thursday reveal" event or something

[SuperDinoHunter]

Dinosauria???

[Nugchompa]

Live feed on Facebook right now.

[Nugchompa]

I'm trying to figure out if these misspellings are deliberate and are part of a clue.

“May the next person that breaks your collectible rot is hell.”

“Fund fact: We are giving away 10K in prizes and discounts! It's true, click here!”

**They corrected the "is" to "in", so they are probably just typos.

[Demona]

I keep looking at it and can't figure it out. It's COTD related if I had to guess. Shard related maybe?

[Nugchompa]

There are two references that seem to point to The Princess Bride, but I've found no codes from it. There are also two references to Chris Pine. One mentions following him, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't do social media. I may be looking too much into these, but it's how I found the first one.

[Bill Lehecka]

You're reading too much into it. Some of the fortunes are supposed to be playful. Some link to deals, others give codes. Only one code from there has been released.

The Chris Pine thing is because both Chicky and Susan have a crush on him. Nothing more than that.

[Bill Lehecka]

Only two reward point codes so far, though, is a bit odd....

[Raas Kaaz]

pretty lame kick off to be honest

[Kovenor]

I keep looking at it and can't figure it out. It's COTD related if I had to guess. Shard related maybe?

the girl in the video said green phoenix was the only statue that was in stock that was gona be released for spooktacular.. the rest are pre orders

I was actually looking forward to the COTD Shard repaint. Didn't care for the original but like the dead look

[VS1976]

Ordered Phoenix just in the knick of time before it went on WL :)

[VS1976]

Only two reward point codes so far, though, is a bit odd....

But $10... :)

[Bill Lehecka]

But $10... :)

Yes yes, quite quite.

And those codes have lasted ALL DAY.

So yeah, lazy butts, free $10!

pretty lame kick off to be honest

No, you email what you would do for a prize, the select it. You can go on twitter and ask SideshowChicky for soul information. She's very helpful.

Okay I'm going to go ahead and correct myself. They're doing it a little differently then what I remeber from past years.

This year you not only state what you will do, but also what you want. It has to be a reasonable request since they have a budget for give-aways. I'm willing to bet 1/6th scales will not be a problem but if you want a PF, I'd imagine what you'll have to do will be a little bit more...unique...

[Bill Lehecka]

I figured a more current profile pic was in order, sir.

Like for instance, someone offered to go to a supermarket as Chewbacca, only speak in Chewbacca speak and buy three separate items. He'll be doing that for a Boba Fett Premium Format Pre-Order (That had to be approved by the man in the chair.).

Exactly, bigger items require some larger sacrifices.

[johnclone]

finally tonight, a man was arrested while wearing a Chewbacca costume. At first he didn't speak at all but then he kept muttering something about "Sideshow said it's OK" He is being held without bail and will undergo extensive psychiatric testing.

We laugh, but it is a felony to wear a mask that completely covers your face while in public in Virginia. Halloween night exempt. I’m not sure if that exemption applies if you go into a store and aren’t a small child.

I sent it last night via Twitter. Susan asked who made it, I told her it was me, and that was the end of it.

[ukshaun]

My bad. the code GRABFEST worked on the Spooktacular code entry page. I was using on my account page. Some of the codes COLDTROOPER and WITCH worked on my Sideshow Wallet

[Bill Lehecka]

It's probably because they have to figure out if they should invest in making it with polystone or cheap out and use PVC, upsetting collectors.

There's a free global shipping offer on at the moment. It applies to some items only. 6 items are sold out. Among the items available are 16 different Stormtroopers. I'm assuming there are a lot of Stormtroopers to clear. Maybe they need to cut down on Stormtroopers and give some other characters a try :)

That looks kinda cool.

Hollywood Collectables had a good crack at creating a Species statue. Sadly her face didn't turn out well.
They are nearly always listed on ebay

I wouldn't mind seeing 1/4 PF Species done well :)

Edit: I've just discovered Sideshow did create a Species Mawette that sells on ebay for a crazy high. It's of the creature, not the actress.

I'd be up for that. I didn't like the HCG version, I regularly look for the old SSC version mind. I have no idea why I never bought it when it first went up, it was so cheap at the time also. And it's one of their best imo..

Sideshow "almost" hooked me with Rocket and Groot, but sadly I simply have no place to put them. They are very nice statues, especially Groot.
