My Cap

[sheople]

I just received this thing today and I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about going home today to put him together. I opened it up and inspected the pieces first to see if there were any problems. I came across a problem... It's just my luck I guess.

I'll start with the bad news first.

Since there was a problem with this piece, it kind of brought down my day and I didn't feel like putting too much effort into the pics.

It's a Chip:bawling:

[ickwinzs]

man that little chip is nothing I cannot believe some people are that anal

[comicfan]

put some paint in there!

[sheople]

man that little chip is nothing I cannot believe some people are that anal

:bawling:

[bruiser72]

Well yes some people are that anal, I would just paint match but I would be bumbed out too if i had a chip. To each his own I guess.

[legato]

We're talking about SS here, sometimes you get a replacement that's worse than the original problem.

[ickwinzs]

I gues when you can fix your own it doesn't seem that bad, sorry about bilittling your pain

[rilynil]

I can barely see a problem in that pic. Is the chip on the meat of the thumb?

[SolidLiquidFox]

We're talking about SS here, sometimes you get a replacement that's worse than the original problem.

or no replacement at all in the case of the Cap Vs Skull for me :redface:

[Hellboy]

Well if it bothers you that much I say send it back otherwise it will always nag at you. Personally I'd just repair it myself and be cool with it but I can totally understand not wanting to do that. And considering the prices we pay for these collectibles you really shouldn't have to.

[BigLeagueChu]

That's a tough call for me too. I would probably keep it :)

[Zoyvod]

considering the prices we pay for these collectibles you really shouldn't have to.

Exactly send it back if that is acceptable by Sideshow standards then they should be sending touch up kits. Then if they did that I don't think they would be around long. I know it would pop a bubble in my day I don't pay for chips I pay for quality.

[sheople]

Overall the piece is fantastic.

I gues when you can fix your own it doesn't seem that bad, sorry about bilittling your pain

We're cool :thumbs2:

It's on the lining of the glove.

I will call SS on Monday to see if I can get a replacement shield/arm. If I can't get one then I will attempt the repair or just leave it because it's not noticeable.

[punisher129]

the new symbol for SS should be $$.

[Underdog07]

Well, my first thought is - SS did I good job if that is the only damage. Second, return it. If it takes off in value you will never be able to sell it if necessary without disclosing the defect. What seems petty and minor now will realyy piss you off when it costs you $300 later.

But wait until I get my caps to inform SS because I don't want you taking any of my potential replacements

[Black Cat]

Sorry to hear about your Cap and very sorry to hear that it ruined your day after all the excitement

[toe]

sorry to hear about the chip :(

you can send it back but there is a big chance that you would not get a replacement at all. You can also contact sideshow if perhaps they have an extra arm of exclusive instead of sending the whole thing back.

[ghettoenhanced]

I'll trade you a regular Cap in Mint condition...
:D

For real though, Aves Sculpt and Tamiya flat red would fix that no problem.
:peoples:

Honestly that mystifies me how can a company not have a back-up plan if damage occurs in transit from the plant to Sideshow or to the consumer? A consumers only recourse is to accept a big TS live with it or lose it? I can understand if a month goes by then that is the consumers problem, but if they immediately notify the manufacture asking for a replacement then that is what should be done. I can understand them wanting to look at it prior to issuing a new one, but damage is damage a chip or a break.

At this early stage that is not true at all - I returned a Grey Hulk in March 07 months after release and got a replacement.

[sheople]

Yeah my day sucks now. I am a returning my Dr. Doom Exclusive for replacement (2nd time) and possibly the Cap.

Sorry man, Only reason why I went with the exclusive is because of the FA theme.

[Zoyvod]

At this early stage that is not true at all - I returned a Grey Hulk in March 07 months after release and got a replacement.

I am glad to hear that. I feel customer service is the first focus for any company. It frosts me quick when a consumer is not given what they deserve. A person who buys something for a $1 or a person who buys something for $1000 should be given the same courtesy no matter what the product is.

[High Lord Apocalypse]

sorry to hear the bad news man. personally, i'd keep it and if you're not comfortable send it to someone that paints to match it the best possible.

also i don't think its worth the wait and hassle to get another for what seems to be a small chip to me. (thats just my opinion).

either way, i hope it works out man.

[GangstaRoranous]

I could understand being upset about this chip. Although it is so small that I would probably just fix it myself. With SS you never know if the next one will be worse. Sad to say it but it's true.

Every time I open a package from SS I am literally scared of what I will find inside. Like today, my PF did not fit on the base properly. I was actually relieved it was not something worse. I just took out the hair dryer and went to town. You kind of have to be a semi-pro repair man to shop with Sideshow because of their lackluster QC.

for spending $300 that gives you a reason to be quote "anal", for $300 you should receive perfection!

Same here :bawling:

[Stef Jelos]

I don't see the problem...where is it?

[ilas]

For the price that we pay for these things, we shouldn't be receiving damaged goods.


With that being said, this piece looks like it will definately be selling in the range of Iron Man and PF Doom. :thumbs2:

[heykool69]

SS is sending me another WWII head to replace one of my broken helmet wing. I'm sure they can replace your shield.

lol I'll think about it.

[kirthew]

I wont get my Cap until the 27th.. but I got my Bond... and I can't put him on the base because of the small pin they put in his shoe.. so I have to call Sideshow on Monday and find out if they have a replacement or not... Beautiful statue.. but one pin prohibits me from displaying it... kind of annoying.

[Vracula]

OK!I thought it was serious.thats not that bad considered to other sideshow traversties

[nemesisenforcer]

congrats bro and nice pics. what kind of camera you got?

[Arioch]

I had the same problem with my Lurtz Pf : a chip on the glove/hand with the shield. Contacted Sideshow and they send me a replacement arm/shield.

I know what you mean. Some SS pieces don't line up right like the wolverine comiquette.

OK!I thought it was serious.thats not that bad considered to other sideshow traversties

I had really High expectations for this piece to be flawless and to have it come not in perfect condition just made me a sad panda bear.

congrats bro and nice pics. what kind of camera you got?

Thanks! I rock a Canon 20D. I'm still new to the DSLR world. Messing with the F stops and ISO while using natural indoor light is tough when you don't have a tripod.

[Trilogy]

Sorry to see it has a chip but it could of been worse I guess. At least it can be easily painted over if you can`t get a replacement.

I notice the stripes in your statue doesn't seem to be in the right place.....am i right??? I see more picture in another thread of Captain PF and the stripes seems to be in a different position... sorry to "bother" you again with your statue :(

I had the same problem with Bond. You will most likely have the same problem if you get a replacement so meet your new best friend the thread I created. Hope this helps to fix the problem. It's a great statue. :thumbs2:

It might be the angle the picture is at that makes the center stripe look off. What I DO notice is that both need the belt rotated so that the belt buckle is in the center. Other than that... this thing is spectacular.

Could you not just send the damaged piece back and keep the rest of the statue? Thats what I I did with my Sentinel piece. My head was damaged so I got replacement heads. Having said that I think they went back to production on that piece in order to deal with all the problems.

I suggested that to SS witht he Western GR when my flames on the base were damaged.
They required me to send the whole statue back.

[moon_knight1971]

The statue looks great! A little chip like that would make me happy considering all the other QC incidents.

[Iacon13]

So it seems they have different rules depending on the situation. I had 2 heads sent back and forth. I would still suggest it after all you paid for it. They should be able to respect the requests of their customers.

[wktf]

man that little chip is nothing I cannot believe some people are that anal

Rick, I don't know if this is being anal or not but I'm glad to see the red stripe down the center rather than the white stripe as pictured on the box. Stan Lee actually set a rule way back when that the center stripe on Cap's uniformed had to be red.

Stripes look fine to me.Looks like you just have to move the buckle a little to the right so its under the center stripe.

If I remember correctly there was a lot of bit@#ing about that white center stripe on the prototype when pics first came out last year when it came up for preorder.Guess Sideshow listens to complaints afterall.

I agree with you 100%

I told her I wasn't happy with that, and I told Aimee that I had no confidence with the replacement being damage free.
She told me she would give me 25% off what I paid to keep the statue.
So...I got $50 bucks back for a broken flame on the base that I just glued back.
Worked for me:thumbs2:

[snappahead]

The stripes are not an issue with me. The HH Cap has a white stripe in the middle and I've never noticed until all this stripe talk came up. Who cares.

Sheople, come on man! Even with the pics you took I can't tell what the hell the problem is!? If you are referring to that little less than a mm white speck.........come on! I doubt you can even see that when it is displayed. Even if you were looking for it, you probably wouldn't be able to find it!

I only bother sending back items if something is really wrong with it. Well, if you noticed it, it must bother you, I just think something that miniscule can easily be overlooked.

I think you missed my point. There is no hard and fast rule about Cap's stripe. I've seen it done a bunch of different ways by a bunch of different artists. If it were Spidey's web pattern or something, I could understand, but people being critical of SS for breaking a rule that doesn't exist.

[detoyz]

that's it? a small tiny chip? :confused2

[Poisonous]

that's it? a small tiny chip? :confused2

If you pay for a factory new piece of comic art, you should also receive it in a condition that is to your satisfaction. Simple.

I know SS QC might render you another flawed piece, but imo, that's no reason to not want a product as perfect as it can be. What each and one of us can and can not llve with when it comes to flaws is obviously highly induvidual, but a paint chip i can understand him not wanting to settle with.

[darthmatrix]

I'd return it myself. I'm not paying for flawed peices(no matter how large or small the flaw) JMO

[cougartrace]

The QC at Sideshow really needs to improve. It's getting too old and I'm not giving them a pass anymore. Too many other good companies out there to put up with this crap.

Honestly, I love Sideshow as a company. Great customer service and awesome products...usually. However, more often than not I receive things that definitely should not have passed through QC. I am so efficient at returning things it feels like my job sometimes.:laugh: The sad part is you don't know if what is coming as a replacement is going to be in worse shape. :(

I really hope that my Cap comes in perfect. Seems pretty consistent so far on the forums with only a few problems here and there, not like the Ghost Rider situation.

[BigLeagueChu]

That's for sure. They probably don't get many returns, other than the ones advertised on these forums. Just a guess.

I've had pretty good luck so far (but don't really order too much), but am really getting nervous about Cap arriving safely. And it baffles me that the replacement can be the same or worse than the first one. :confused:

It baffles me too. Sometimes I think I am getting returns as replacements. Maybe it's just my luck...it's pretty bad sometimes. :laugh:

Here is a list of recent problems.

Spiderman 1:1 = Some lines on head not painted. Weird white glob on base. Fixed all these myself.

Emma= Blotchy and smeared paint. Returned but got a messed up Emma print.

James Bond PF= Peg did not fit on base. Had to use the hair dryer trick.

Spiderman Vs. Venom Exclusive= Arrived with two broken fingers that had ALREADY been glued back on poorly. = Returned!

These are just the most recent QC problems. The statistics are crazy. My chances of getting a messed up piece are just so high. SS as a company needs to do something about this. I have never had to return a Bowen piece for QC issues.

[cougartrace]

I've had to send back my last 3 or 4 statues. I hope CAP is good.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Sometimes I think I am getting returns as replacements.

I suspect that is the case. And I also think some "second chance" or "warehouse finds" are returns.

There would be no logic in Sideshow sending out items that have been returned due to faults.
Its probably a combination of Sideshows poor QC and bad luck.

As I`ve mentioned before in other threads, I`ve had very few pieces that have arrived with no faults. I`ve become accustomed to it and if I can fix it myself then I will. Saves weeks if not months of messing around waiting for replacements.

The only reason that SS would even consider sending out items that have been returned is that the next customer may not be as picky as the one who returned it.

I agree though. I have come to accept these flaws in SS products. They come with the territory and if I can fix them, I usually do instead of dealing with the return process.

To each his own, man. If the costume's wrong I'm not going to fork out money for the piece. It'd bother me every time I saw it. Why live with that, especially at these prices? You spend your money where you like, I'll spend my money where I like. What do you care if we don't want to buy it?

But it's not wrong.

The stripes are not an issue with me. The HH Cap has a white stripe in the middle and I've never noticed until all this stripe talk came up. Who cares.

nope, the middle stripe underneath the star is suppost to be red. Good one SS:thumbsdow

That's not always true. Over the years, this has changed with the different artists and even different frames drawn by those artists. One such sample...

You're right. The costume's not wrong. But the promo shots of the costume are wrong and the image on the box is wrong. My point was that if the costume were wrong that would be enough to stop me from buying it, contrary to the point that was made about being too anal.

[Bullseye]

Joe what do you think of this piece anyway? I cannot wait to get my exclusive.

[bat_collector]

plenty of bowen stuff has been wrong and the masses ate that up

[Barbarian]

Of course the famous inkfire00 knows better than the Marvel artists. :thumbs2:
I can come up with about a thousand more pics with the white stripe in the middle if you wish. :)

Yup. See how some folks vote with their wallets? :)

ex-freaking-actly!!!!!! they didn't even get the danged infinity guantlet right on that one. Where was the principaled "I'm not getting a wrong costume" there?

When I took it out the box I checked it for damage there wasn`t any and I put it back i`m never going to display that unless it`s repainted.

The actual piece looks fantastic, bulls! :thumbs2:

I didn't buy that one, either, Mike. Come on down off that high horse, cowboy.

thanos was just a paint job which can be fixed, the cap PF is a design error that can't be fixed

Oh, thank goodness. :laugh:

[snappahead]

My point has alsways been that there isn't an error. I mean, why isn't anyoone complaining about the seams in his mask? That's not something that is usually there. Not until recent years. What about the millions of changes they made to the Doom design. It's just strange to me what people pick to complain about.

[Vracula]

STRIPE GRIPE LOL!sheesh!

[snappahead]

STRIPE GRIPE LOL!sheesh!

Yeah, maybe this is a big compliment to the piece. I mean, if all the collectors can find to complain about is this made up stripe debate, then this is one spectacular piece.

[Barbarian]

STRIPE GRIPE LOL!sheesh!

Seriously. That's what I'm screamin'. MOVE ON!
The SS Cap vs. RS wasn't true to life(?), but I think it's one of, if not the, best Cap to date.

[BigLeagueChu]

Cap vs RS is definitely underrated, especially with the PF out now. But it's one of my favorites too.

[Hellboy]

Really, who cares about how the stripes are placed. Cap has had many costumes and has been interpreted in many different ways. As long as those stripes are red & white I'm happy.

And yeah the Cap Vs. Skull piece is WAY underrated. The only Vs piece I like better is the X-Men Vs. Sentinel dio. :buttrock:

Word. I just happen to like the Wolvie vs. Sabre a bit more.

[Hellboy]

Its close for me too but the amazingly detailed staircase in the Cap dio just squeaks it ahead of the Wolvie Vs. Sabre piece for me. :)

[skorpsta]

take a sharpie to that!!

i soooo agree it will look fine. nice statue

[duke fleed]

the sideshow cap is the best statue of this character ever made ....:buttrock:

It's a close call, but I also like the W vs S a bit more. That's the piece that started it for me with SS, and I got the Ex off the waitlist too, woo-hoo :buttrock:

You guys are incredible. Who's not moving on? You guys keep coming back to it. The error's not even there on the actual piece and the piece looks great so there's no complaint...what the hell are we, in violent agreement or something?

Just got off the phone with the SS CSR. They told me to e-mail pics to them so they can determine if I need to return the whole thing or not.

Sweet! Wasn't it just the one glove that was flawed? Perhaps it could be a quick and painless exchange.

The only problem that bugged me was the glove. There is another problem with the foot not fitting in the voltron head correctly but I can live with that.

You can kind of see a gap between his foot and voltrons head.

Wow you got a Voltron head....send it back !!

[duke fleed]

Which one you like, the PF or the VS.?

I prefer the PF, the vs show a lot of agressivity and hate, not the image of captain america for me.
It's a beautiful vs statue but the cap have too muscles he's too big.
The PF is well balanced he is best than the bowen first cap (this one was the best statue of cap for me before the sideshow).
In th vs statue my favorite character are red skull and the environment too.
