I got usual line. The product looks fine to them. Any replacement parts will look the same. The piece in GemMint's video appeared to feature better silver scratch work.

I recall the H.M.O - Ren 1/4 statue featuring a portrait with dodgy silver scratch work. The factory failed to match the amazing work that featured on the prototype. H.M.O. opened every box and fixed every portrait in house. Not many companies would do that.

I'm going to assume that you haven't heard anything about shipping yet either?

Correct. Still "preparing to ship".

Sideshow did this many years ago when the Thanos and Mistress Death diorama came out. They were having the toughest time during shipping. Most all the Captain America shields were arriving broken due to bad engineering of the shipping styrofoam. They opened every box and just cut a hole where the shield would be pressed upon while in transit. Little different than re-painting, but that SSC back in the day about 10 years ago. Now, I don't know if that would happen.

Once they refund all costs, i could take the risk of ordering another one, in hope a different artist applied the silver paint scratches.

They’ll sell it back on Sideshow seconds.

Probably.
I have not heard back from Sideshow. I am entertaining the idea of keeping the piece and either removing the silver paint or finding a talented painter who is could are creating scratch paint work. Getting the import fee is a nightmare. I do like Deadpool. It is a pity the tire fails to look as good as the tyre on the Lady Deadpool PF




LOADING: Image(s)

I'm still thinking it over. The constant 3 or 5 silver lines fails to make sense. I think it looks poor.
The silver (damage) paint work in the Scooter footwell looks great.
Silver on areas that stick out makes sense, if it follows contour of the edge.
Silver in dented areas, inward dents, fails to make sense.
Silver lines with a line cross over in a different direction, looks like Chinese writing. Maybe there is a hidden message?
Many of the chunky silver lines fail to represent paint scratch damage, a look like what they are, silver paint lines/scribbles.
The round silver component in the top area of the first image. Why the silver sun pattern?
It would look better without the silver.
One painter appears to have ruined the whole piece
Deadpool himself looks great.

This is starting to really suck!

No movement for a week and a half since being charged. SSC needs to start checking for actual stock before charging ...especially during these times.

[IronLungs31]

Just checking in to see if anyone has gotten any word on this piece that has been stuck in port for two weeks and counting?

[AC_808]

Nope ....negative ....nothing ...nada ...ziltch

Still in the "preparing to ship" state!

[IronLungs31]

"Preparing To Ship" going on three weeks now...smh! I'm suppose to be hitting day number 21/40 before I was granted my Reward Point...LOL!
