It's just that after the Wolf LSB fiasco it's TOTALLY worth at least 1 person getting off their arse and checking.

Better yet, Sideshow should just publish that information.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Yeah - spot-on.

But they deliberately left it vague on the Wolf LSB because a clear/accurate explanation would have resulted in zero (or minimal at best) sales given the $650 USD (+ shipping) price.

That was 100% on-purpose / devious on their part.

Not opinion - fact.

I'd have done it myself for you folks if I'd realised it was going to cause this much back-and-forth

Still - since I like you folks - I don't mind

So this is the response to my email. I asked them to be specific on what materials will be used for the head, masked portrait and body.

Hi there!

Thank you for reaching out to us! At this time, we are told that the Jungle Predator is a combination of polyresin and fabric elements.

Are you going to reply and re-ask for clarification?

"At this time, we are told..."!!!

Huh?!!!!!!

I'm sorry but shouldn't you KNOW what this piece will be made of? It's a very specific question that should get a specific answer... not "at this time, we are told".

Cause that's not a solid answer at all

@HeavyMetalSpike done and already emailed back.

@Chargersfan57 I know lol, where's the communication in this company lol(bang head against wall)

As the higher ups all sit in their board room making head scratching decisions and planning ways to cheap out on materials(muhahaha how can we add vinyl and deceive these collectors without knowing). Poor Kimberley and The rest of CS will have to deal with this mess. Was it really worth it to cheap out SS? Seems like this is going to get even messier lol.

I think I've worked out what they are up to.

People will be so relieved when it comes through made of polystone that they'll welcome all the the things pointed out originally as faults/concerns/criticisms with open arms and praise . . .
