Personally I think Sideshow should do the right thing here and issue a full recall.
Spot on HB. When, not if. I also agree on the recall, but it will never happen.

I received my second body replacement and it looks good. Smells freshly painted too, so hopefully, it was prepped properly. The weather here has been up and down, hot and cool and humid so lets see how this holds out.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

They will; she's not a Marvel piece.

Exactly. I would be more concerned about the future X-girls like Storm, Emma and Jean.

I'm sure you're right.

I just sent off my pics to Customer Service. We'll see what they come up with but I'll probably just opt for a refund unless they can confirm replacements have had primer applied and have been repainted. Unfortunately with a refund that means I'll be bowing out of collecting the entire Jim Lee inspired X-Men PF line. Will probably sell the others with the exception of Colossus as he is one of my favorite characters and just stick with must haves going forward. Shame really as I'm a HUGE X-Men fan but these QC issues have really soured my enjoyment of these pieces.

I'm with you man. It seemed like the vast majority of the X-Men line had some crazy issues in one way or another. It's aggravating.

Yeah, I've decided I'm officially done with the line now. Just heard back from SS.

Options
  • $50 Credit,
  • $45 Refund
  • Full Refund
No replacements available. Not that I'd feel comfortable taking one anyway given the circumstances.

I really don't get their refund and credit options, barring the full refund. They're really almost insulting.
