Please check your Ironman 1:1 bust

[Chapter 2099]

Thanks for all the kind words fellow freaks, I'm just hoping that my LCS will help me on this. Or I'll be stuck on one crappy piece.

Sorry to hear that Ryan. Thank you for making this thread and pointing that out. This just sold me against buying a 1:1 IM bust now, until someone can explain why it's happening and how to prevent it.

 

[Marvel-ous]

Man that really sucks. Sorry I can't do anything more than sympathize with you man.

I would rather take a discount on it and get it professionally repainted by someone on the forums. Or just get your money back.

 

[Tyler]

It's as if they are not keying up these sculpts before priming and painting. That's the only reason I can think for so many of these busts pealing.

Sorry to see this happening on such expensive items.

$699 price tag without shipping and tax
$300-$500 for a professional to strip it down and repaint the whole statue.

I don't think Sideshow is going to discount up to $500 for owners to get it repainted. When words spread about this issue, no one wants to own it. I would want a full refund and move on. I'm piss at Sideshow for allowing this to happen. I had to deal with 2 replacement on this bust, and I requested a full refund since it was too much headache from the start.

true, refund seems the best option. I guess for me it wouldnt be bad on discounts because i repainted a few pieces and have a good connection.

I would not let them send me a new one because the same thing will happen. it has to be repainted regardless.

This is terrible to see happen to what could have been an awesome piece, I know your a big fan of IM Richard, sorry to see this happen to you...

 

[The Mike]

Just checked the "inards" of my Mark 3 1:1 Bust and everything is cool, clean and pristine. Thank God.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

just checked mine and still perfect !

No problems here !

sorry about your bust man !

 

[P1X4R]

oh man! sorry to see this happen to yours too Richard.

 

[Shai]

This piece is Doomed.

 

[Bullseye]

I've just checked mine and there is a small area on the base which is flaking. I've had this a few month at this stage. What recourse do we possibly have. This would make me nervous of ordering the IM 1:2 now. Sideshow really need to make a statement on this and advise those of use affected. This is to expensive for this ^^^^^.

 

[MinMay]

I think you just jinxed yourself j/k...

just checked mine and still perfect !

No problems here !

sorry about your bust man !

Thanks Chris, I made the thread here like what Akamonrg did at SF. Just want my fellow freaks to check theirs, so that they won't get the surprize when they are cleaning it or putting them out of the box.

Thanks Amir really appreciate it. I hope Toy Traders can help me on this.

 

[RyanGabriel]

I'm happy for you The Mike and SOLIDSNAKE. How I wish I also got one of the mint ones

 

[RyanGabriel]

oh man! sorry to see this happen to yours too Richard.

Thanks Ed, really appreciate it.

 

[galactiboy]

This piece is Doomed.

I really seems like it... such a great looking item, but QC on the paint is just ridiculous.

Hope the Vader bust fairs better
