No color box!?!

Crazy. But I think it was crazy of Tweeterhead making this character as the third character in the line. This is like the equivalent of bowen producing a FS of Arnim Zola as the third statue in phase 1. Infact I don’t think he ever made a FS of Arnim Zola, but still...

Got my shipping notification. Should be here Thursday. A tad disappointed with not getting a color box but I understand why they did it.

I'll have mine Thursday. I'm not concerned about getting a white box. All my boxes get packed away anyway.

If statues only came in white boxes and it would lower the cost of the statue I would not have a problem with that at all. An art box is nice but I do wonder how much the cost of the statue could be reduced by just shipping them in a plain white box with just the name of the statue printed on it.

If they had to overproduce on boxes I'd guess each color box adds ~$5 to the cost, so if they had to throw out 900 boxes be ~$4500.

Economics of scale make smaller niche items behave differently than more mass market friendly ones.

+1. As long as the statue is well protected I don’t care what the box looks like as it gets stored right after it’s emptied. I’d love to see more companies going with generic boxes with writing on it giving you the statue and ES while passing the savings on to the consumer.

All good points. The Kandor Base was in a plain white box as well. I do pretty much pack the boxes up into the attic after opening them anyway. LOL

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I remember one time Sideshow floated the idea of not producing colored boxes any longer. It apparently didn't go very well. I kind of remember being against it myself and I have no idea now why. What do I care? The sideshow boxes come with some damage almost every time anyway and it's impossible for me to display the art boxes. I WISH I could display some of them - there have been some really cool art boxes. But, I only see them when I unpack the statue and when I pack it back up.
