And like you I think instead of pre-order it may be a case of wait on in hand proof.
SS inspiring trust on their products

Always thought Prime 1 is for premium , near-proto fidelity and SS is more like a budget mass-production brand .

It is a shame as we know they have the ability to turn out quality pieces, they've proved this.
we'll just have to see how this turns out, as Asgard said no more orders based on proto pictures.

When it comes to my collection, the Captain Marvel PF is possibly the most impressive production piece Sideshow have made. The recent Black Widow and Lady Deadpool are great examples also. My Harley Quinn PF (Margot Robbie) i'd class as mid-range quality.

I passed on the recent Mystique PF. Based on video's / chat's i've seen on YouTube, Mystique appears to have many QC (paint) issue's. Some collectors received good examples. Many did not.

It does seem to be a bit hit or miss...with "WW gate" and the whole who's got googly eyes and who hasn't being a good example and I know both Sonia's are inevitably quoted as examples of how great SS can get, but...
The way it stands with QC now and how much of a gamble it is to pre-order, as you say with Dejah I'll wait and see, Elektra being my last pre-order.

With WW was bad. I expect that qc from a black merket chinese ripoff company not global leader SS. Truly a laughing stock

But there are many companies who do it better than SS ,: XM , Prime 1 first to jump in mind. You pay more but if you're in the premium market looking for a good statue isnt that the point ?

NO...bad KgBeast, I'm going to come to their defence on this one, they're only a laughing stock some of the time.

That will be a hit or miss point, how many people get one where it doesn't touch or maybe get one thats too tight a fit, from WW googly gate to Dejah touch gate.
