Statue Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Statue

[CollectorNC]

Dumb question, but what's the deal with these? They seemed to have been released, many got them, and now they are all re-released or something? Also, SSC FB page says the Obi is down to just a couple, yet the website says nothing.

Yeah, I was the other morning too. It's rough. So apparently Ben, Vader, Darth Maul still available, but Boba and Gamorean Guard not?

 

[CollectorNC]

alright picked it up. Ordered Vader too.

 

[ShawnDeath]

Not missing this one a second time. Ordered.

Not missing this one a second time. Ordered.

Neither am I!

Went ahead and ordered since it is looking dry at least for awhile for Star Wars PF's. I like the alternate head sculpts for a nice change-up.

Happy as hell to be getting this but it was an unexpected purchase so now I must give up something else I was planning on buying. Oh the joys of limited resources

I wonder how many orders of Mr. Kenobi at EU retailers were just cancelled...

+1 to the list of conversions (got on 5/10, converted last night), and -1 to the aforementioned EU order tally.

Not missing this one a second time. Ordered.

Pretty much what I said, ordered it last night. The perfect Obi-Wan, being able to display him as Alec or Ewan makes it even better.

Has Sideshow sold out yet, 800 doesn't seem like awful lot.

 

[Narcosis]

Where are you getting 800

 

[Kammykaze]

Ben kenobi mythos is in stock now!!!! Move those asses, people!!!!!!!

Has Sideshow sold out yet, 800 doesn't seem like awful lot.

Has to be less then 800 since mine is #1246 (or close to that) and there is a cap of 2000.... and I bought mine like 6+ months ago from SS.....

 

[Narcosis]

Nice - thats what I wanted to know. That confirms it then, should be about 800 give or take. This is so difficult to pass - I converted too but got so many other orders as well. I think its clear this is not one to wait for... Gotta cut the excess somewhere else

Does anyone know what happened with the edition size on this statue? Originally it looks like they were going to make 1200. I checked Ebay and there were a few completed listings that show the statue number out of 1200. Then I saw a listing that had #1471 out of 2000. So it looks like there is 500 more to be made?

 

[Lakhota]

There is now 2000, Sideshow is saying that there was always going to be 2000, some type of error in description

 

[myc]

the china guys messed it up by saying xx/1200 .. it has been always announced on sideshow sides 2000

Here is the numbering error explanation...


Dear Craig,



Thank you for your recent order for the Ben Kenobi Mythos statue. We hope that by now your piece has arrived to you and has found a spot in your display.



The Ben Kenobi - Mythos statue, which is a 2,000 piece edition size was mislabeled at our production facility with a 1,200 piece edition size instead.



The staff at Sideshow strives for excellence in every piece that we make and to have a clerical error of this nature occur is not only frustrating to our collectors but to us as well. How do things like this occur? Well we asked the same question and went department by department with a sharp stick to find out what happened. The manufacturing process for this type of statue is very exacting and requires a lot of coordination of different teams. What we discovered is that our production facility accidentally labeled the Ben Kenobi bases with the 1,200 number, which was the size of the previous production item the factory handled. Unfortunately, we cannot re-label the bases without potentially damaging the base itself.



The statue has not been fully manufactured and the final production run will carry base markings of 1,201/2,000 - 2,000/2,000, which continues the sequence of the piece numbers the way it was intended and features the correct overall edition size. If you would like to exchange your statue for a statue from the corrected edition sequence, then we can do so for you. You are also welcome to keep the item that you have, as it will be a lower item number.



Ultimately your satisfaction is our goal, and if you do not choose any of these options mentioned, than we can certainly retrieve the statue from you and issue you a full refund, with our sincere apologies.



Our mission is to make quality items that have that 'wow' factor; statues that you are proud to display in your home and gloat about to your friends! Sometimes we do make mistakes along the way. Allow us to offer you a $25 credit towards your next purchase for any inconvenience that

this error has caused.



Best Regards,



Michael Tolentino
Customer Service Manager

Too many whiners on SSC FB crying fowl. If it was always 2000, just erroneously labeled, I don't see the problem. Did it not originally say 2000 on the website when this first went up or is the discrepancy two-fold, the site and the actual numbering on the product? I assume when mine comes 4th quarter it will say x/2000. If it says x/3000, I'll know something is up.
