Ive had nothing but praise for this line since it started and ive always had positive things to say about it.. but ive been burned three times recently by sideshow with this line (first with the art print fiasco.. i had ordered every CoTD print framed thinking these were signed and then now seeing that i overpaid for queen when i could have saved myself at least $100.. and last every CoTD statue after queen has had serious delays) i still love this line and will be ordering more but lets just say im alot more skeptical about ordering from sideshow now.

And tbh i think some of us have good reason to air our grievences.. its sideshows fault for misleading people with the art prints.. its their fault queen is selling well below retail.. and its their fault that all the CoTD has had major delays. We are paying custumers that have invested alot of money and have been let down. I think its only fair people can voice their opinions on the matter this is a forum afterall. Not everything is gonna be great fantastic positive news..

Thing is, if everything didn't end up the way it does with SS, you wouldn't see all of the upset customers right now.

I actually think she is perfect except for that stupid back tattoo.
You would think that would be the easy part, applying a decal. The paint actually came out stunning.

They really screwed me over with this whole Queen ordeal back then. It's more the way of how the behaved towards me as an international customer, than having bad feelings towards the line. That whole Queen joke ended up costing me ~$300 and a lot of frustration.

Yeah, I feel your pain. We both had bad lucky with Queenie. I am sure I would be even more bitter if I was outside of the US.

I would say that they need to start inspecting pieces, but I've had two Queens supposedly inspected and they were both terrible. All they do is hold your piece for a couple weeks, to make it sound like they looked it over. But I am pretty sure it is a lie.

They came at me like spitfire, but were all messed up. None were checked, no way. Anywho, that was the point I decided to let all orders from SS bleed and stop collecting them on PO. Only Dardevil left and then a buttload of reward points. Maybe wait for the new Red Sonja to spend them on and call it quits.

Super happy with Gaming Heads, Gentle Giant and other companies. Looking into ARH at the moment too.

If you don't have much money just collect this line it will give you plenty time to save up before they are released

I just hope the time they are taking will make these statues masterpieces if they are like the Queen then this line is doomed

Nothing wrong with my Queen, so let's be clear that while some people have undoubtedly had issues others have not. Still, there is room for improvement overall, that I'll give you.
