He complains about no instructions. Perhaps Sideshow should include a 3x5 card or maybe some text on the art box to visit their site or Youtube for the unboxing videos? Not sure why this guy was trying to fit her in that way when there was so much space on the other side of the base....

It’s like the guy had never seen the statue until he opened the box.
I noticed that. Atleast he knew which way to put the head on

As long as your not as clumsy as a handcuffed crab She's very easy to put together.
Yes the base is fragile but you only need to take one look at it to figure that out, I'm actually quite impressed that there aren't reports of them being broken on arrival, good job on packaging Sideshow.

That right there is what a saturday night live sketch would look like if they were taking the piss out of statue collectors. His reaction when he broke the base had me in stitches

Probably not. Ikea can take some figuring out.

My first Ikea Detolf unit took a while to figure out.
I now own 5 of them, and am a wizard at putting them together in no time

It gets worse.

That guy lives in Australia, so he paid over $800 USD for this...



If I spent that much money on a statue, I would put it together with the utmost care. He completely manhandled it.

Sure there is an issue with the arm. I just got the impression he was more concerned with his video, than he was about the statue? during the cutting of the tape, he knocks the ON AIR sign. While assembling a statue, why do it on a rotating base?

Aspen Premium Format Exclusive Unboxing Sideshow Collectibles The Odd Couple

What would Sideshow think, if they watched this video?

During the video he refers to the 'little fish' as being the exclusive. As far as i am aware, the 'Seahorse' ships with all Aspen pieces. The exclusive is the extra arm.

One more thing. The unboxer mentions that there should be instructions. There really isn't much to put together. I found it very straight forward, putting Aspen together
Off topic: I haven't seen that Supergirl in the top right next to the Iron Man. Any idea who made that?
