Yes! I'm in dire need of a fully sculpted classic Cap. It's been over a decade since sideshow released a classic Cap PF.

You what else grinds my gears? When is Sideshow gonna wake up and pack their statues like PCS and XM??? Better styrofoam and the freaking Velcro straps. I just unboxed the PCS Megatron and it was a pleasure. If these smaller studios can do it then SS can definitely do it. It makes a difference. Premium collectibles should be packaged accordingly. I don’t think it’s being picky or petty either. The money SS charges this should be a given.

I totally agree! Unboxing XM statues is the best experience, feels like a high end collectable. Also with the packaging there is way less chance of any breakages from happening.

I completely agree. I feel that Sideshow doesn't want to do it simply because they won't admit other companies do it better than them.

I think the best packaging I've ever seen them do was the Court of the Dead Legendary Scale Death's General: Reaper.
That thing had velvet lining.

What I'm "mad as hell about" is their marketing, I think most people on this forum liked Susan and the sincerity she had for her love of geeky stuff, her interviews with people were fun, but she didnt try to do 3rd grade level comedy as her 38 replacement host do, their social media is completely unwatchable now for me, which originally was something that helped get me interested in the hobby, with this along with lack of good merchandise, its possible I'll have no orders in the coming year, I'll be getting the Dragon Slayer, but probably wont be out until 2022, no more pre orders with these giant delays and giant shipping increases, hope 2021 changes my feelings, but who knows
