I agree. Nothing obliged him to post his unfortunate video. But he did it. And it's cool. This looks just like a bad time. It happens to everybody.

Sometimes i really wonder if anyone watches Out of the box videos sideshow posts. If its a piece i am getting i watch it to see how to assemble. If its available/posted by collectors i watch that as well. Just takes a few minutes to plan ahead. Pretty obvious, that he did not do this.
The sounds the statue was making when he was trying to assemble was something I've never heard, yes a good learning experience as far as how careful we need to be!
As far as QC yes, on mine there is a gap on the switchout arms on initial placement but is corrected but very minor pushing in. The leg onto the base mine has a gap, and a tight fit. It is hardly noticeable.

Sorry, that person is a f***ing moron and then blames Sideshow for their ignorance. Reminds me of the idiots on Amazon who clearly order the wrong thing and blame Amazon for it in their 1-star reviews.
I really hope Sideshow doesn't have an affiliation with that reviewer.
Just embarrassing. SMH.

DON'T TRY THAT AT HOME
Just an interlude to relax...
Hi, Aspen, you're right! Water can be magic!

Sure there is an issue with the arm. I just got the impression he was more concerned with his video, than he was about the statue? during the cutting of the tape, he knocks the ON AIR sign. While assembling a statue, why do it on a rotating base?

What would Sideshow think, if they watched this video?
During the video he refers to the 'little fish' as being the exclusive. As far as i am aware, the 'Seahorse' ships with all Aspen pieces. The exclusive is the extra arm.
One more thing. The unboxer mentions that there should be instructions. There really isn't much to put together. I found it very straight forward, putting Aspen together  |
I don't want to be offensive but the guy in the video is not very smart, he seems to rush the assembly and blame Sideshow...
I wouldn't buy something from him, doesn't seems to be very cautios with his statues.

I kept saying “It’s backwards” while watching him assemble her in that video.

*snap* “ahh snapped off straight away, how poorly constructed is this, not impressed SS, really not impressed.”
*realizes he was putting it on the wrong way, continues to blame SS*  This video is gold.

What was he doing with the regular arm at first?
It’s like the guy had never seen the statue until he opened the box.
