Thanks. I knew this was big but it’s just cool seeing the size relative to other statues.

So, I think this is a bunch of B.S., but wondering if anyone else had any authentication issues in receiving the wrong product number. I've been collecting every Mario statue since the line came out with both Lucky Cat Mario EX and Tonooki Mario EX being #219. I typically authenticate within a month of receiving. As I went to authenticate Bowser Exclusive, I noticed it was #258. This was the response they gave me:

Thank you for waiting. We have investigated this and concluded that your order was not assigned the serial number #219 due to a system glitch. Regrettably, this means that we are no longer able to allocate #219 for your upcoming Mario and Yoshi statue, which will now be #258 following the Bowser statue that you have authenticated.

We are very sorry about this situation and would like to offer you a coupon code for 50 USD in-store credits as compensation

That sucks, never did the authentication thing though. Unfortunately I can't relate, I'd happily take the 50 since I don't care about the number (unless it was #1 or something).

For those that care about authentication and having the same number, do you think $50 is enough compensation? I'm about to quit collecting this line because of this, unless they decide on a Princess Peach or Toad next. 3 out of its 4 releases have been Mario.

I don't really know, as I said I can't really relate. If it's worth more to you then it is. I'm sure some people who care would be fine with that. I don't think it's ridiculous that you aren't fine with it or anything, just personally it wouldn't bother me.

F4F is the only company in the industry that does any of this number-matching nonsense, which can't be easy given how statues are produced in batches, and the somewhat random nature of hand numbering. $50 is very generous. I wouldn't even complain about this.

I don't give 2 Fs about a number. I care about the statue I'm looking at so I'd take the $50 for sure.

PSA - Bowser's Tongue

Sorry to bump an old thread but I remember a person or two some time ago complaining about Bowser's mouth. The big empty hole there is if you don't have the exclusive fire ball. I purchased the regular and thought there was just a big empty square hole in his mouth.

I threw the packaging box out several days ago but just in case went back and scanned through it this morning and a tongue was actually left in the box! Just in case anyone missed it like I did!

Bowser's tongue is located in the 2nd box with the base. It is not with Bowser himself but in the second box with the big spiky base!
