The real fur and hair look great and blend together with the sculpted areas which adds to the realism.

This holds more presense than anything else in my collection. It weighs a ridiculous amount and isn't at all light like a lot of collectibles tend to be nowadays. I'm actually concerned about finding something to display it on given how heavy it is.

I've been in this hobby for well over 10 years and would be honest if this one didn't turn out right given the price. My necklace, like many others was unfortunatley damaged but this is a common occurence and I would hope that PCS or Sideshow will sort it out for us. Well worth the wait. Hats off to everyone involved.

Really nice pictures, he looks great!

Hey guys. I've noticed an issue with mine earlier on the back of one of the arms. There was a build up of what looked like water in quite a large area. That made no sense to me given I've never had any issues with moisture and have had 10+ statues in the same room for years all of which are perfectly fine. This was definitely there when it arrived and I was one of the people to have mould spots all over mine, a paticularly large amount on some of the fur cuffs.

I very gently wiped it with a soft towel to find that a small chunk of paint came off and the liquid, whatever it is, stayed, other than the bit that took the paint with it. It's really tough to remove. I'd imagine if I gave it any force to get it off a decent chunk of the paint would come away. It almost seems like glue. What's strange is that I checked again a few hours later to find it had dripped down a little. I gave it a pat and this collected. I'm going to contact sideshow about this obviously but any ideas what this could be or how I should word my email to them? It's a difficult issue to photograph since I'm just trying to show them the shine, so to speak.

I'm not really to sure how to describe, correctly at least, what's going on here? I'm certainly slightly concerned though.

It could still be glue, if they use a 2 part epoxy and didn't get the mix right it could still be part liquid.

Checked it again today and there's more a build up of more moisture in the same area, some of it wiped away, some of it has stayed. It's really strange. I fear it may end up taking more of the paint away and I'd have to obviously mention this if I ever sold it on so it's effected the value I'd imagine. I'm not expecting sideshow to do much about that though. At least it's at the back of the statue.

You should contact them anyway and ask for a replacement.

This kind of shoddy work is why I'm pulling out of PCS entirely. When does this happen with other companies? If there's moisture trapped in the polystone, then mold growth is a possibility, and if it's happened to a few, it's likely they're all affected to some degree. Glad I cancelled mine.

The problem with that is I'd have to pay import fees again, this time which could possibly end up at £300 plus. I think I'd be lucky to get a voucher from sideshoe based on what I've personally experienced and heard from others.
