I loved you for your licenses, talent, and attention to detail, and you loved me for my money, and my compulsive need to collect all character representations no matter how insignificant. Now look at us! I sent you pictures of my Poison Ivy with dark paint running down her leg weeks ago, and haven't even received a confirmation that the e-mail was received. It makes me feel like I am alone in this relationship. My personal experience contradicts the notion that your love for me has remained consistent from the time we entered in to this relationship. I would argue that the majority of your production pieces are not a reasonable facsimile of the prototypes you show me, and you and I both know that you used to use better styrofoam. Over time, you have become more and more distant, and I have become accepting of a lower standard. When we first got together "you remember" Over the Hulk vs Spiderman Diorama? and I had that credit card with no preset spending limits. You made me believe it would always be that way. Poor quality statues were the exception, and the vast majority of what you gave me arrived without any serious defects or deviations from the prototype. My level of confidence in you, and your quality control was so high, that if I was busy, I had little or no anxiety about waiting to open your packages when they arrived. I would put it off for weeks, with no fear that my procrastination would result in disappointment. On those very rare occasions that I had a problem, you quickly provided a replacement. Please, please, please Sideshow, return to the business practices that continually left me eagerly anticipating the next opportunity to give you my money. I still love you, but I want you to love me back.
I love it, so true. SS should listen to its customer base a bit more, they might find themselves lasting through the decades...in my opinion they will not with the direction they are going in regards to quality and pricing.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

SS ain't never gonna go back to their old ways. Face it, their profits are their number 1 priorities now days. High es & no es, false prototypes, bad quality. They don't care if you don't do business with them. For every lost customer they lose, they gain another one. It's a darn shame folks. I use to PO like 10 or so statues a year, so far this year, I've po 2... SS ain't a fun company anymore

Oh for the love of God get over yourselves. Surely all that matters is quality and characters that you love get made.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
