I don't know what Sideshow do or don't do but what Shanesg said is certainly not as outlandish as you guys might think.

But SS has stated only 3% of their customers use these forums... So our opinions, pictures, complaints, etc... doesn't matter to them...

I seriously doubt they care someone kept two hands from the statue... but if they did and they know who this guy is, I'm sure they'll send him an email asking him to destroy the hands and send them pictures as proof...

I doubt SS is going to hire Thugs to take him out

I wouldn't be so sure of that

I could use a thug over on the XM Hulkbuster thread.

The 3% thing is a myth. A trick to belittle forum collectors. Bad business as well whoever said that.

Igo said it awhile back when people were complaining about the art direction of one of SS statues..

Of course we just repeat it to mock him

Hi is anyone else having trouble getting the back leg peg into the base. I wasted 30 minutes trying many different angels and ways but cannot get the back leg into the base. It's not even a small gap, but a giant 3 inch gap. Just wondering if it's an issue with just me or everyone.

Sideshow always seem to have problems with their damn pegs into the hole. Why not just make the holes bigger, or test out each statue before packing it.

Otherwise the statue looks perfect and awesome, so annoying

Yea, I've talk to sideshow and they knew about the tight peg problem and said there is only one way to put it in with out bending the peg.
So, here's the trick kinda..Make sure the front foot is ready to go in the resting position and past the middle lip of finger.Then line up back peg and foot and with force push both feet downward and you should hear it snap in.Sideshow said if it breaks you would be cover to me anyway.After a day or so it comes out and goes in fine.

I got my replacement for break on rear peg leg and same issue couldn’t get peg in. It’s bent there is no way to get it in unless peg is straightened . So I took pliars and gently straightened it. Guess what Sideshow he goes in and out like butter. Ridiculous .

Imo way back when early painted prototype was released Wolverine had that huge lean I think our reaction on forums got sideshow to last minute go back straighten him otherwise they would have had disaster on selling him. What we are seeing in that back leg is leftover lean that was corrected . Just a thought that explains why pegs are all bent . Notice the key is straight which props him upright but the rod was old location most likely

Hmm that's interesting. Sideshow did say my peg was supposed to be at that angle. If you insert the peg when it's angled like my pic below, Wolverine can't really lean to the right like in some of the preview pics.

Keep an eye on your one Subby, it could be by straightening the peg it could start leaning to the right. Just a thought.
