What's Your Obsession

Haven’t had one of these in a while and I’ve gotta say, this one is really unfortunate. I saw this statue in person at SDCC and it was gorgeous so it’s sad to hear that there are lots of reports of sloppy paint. The primary areas appear to be on the face (especially the chin [...]

Yep, two statue alerts in one day, kind of sucks. There’s two primary issues with this statue : 1) Check the white paint on yours. I’ve seen many pictures where people have significant cracking across large swaths of the white paint. 2) The paint quality on the shield in general is subpar. As usual, crack [...]

As unfortunate that it is that I have to print one of these, there have been too many problems with the Scarlet Witch comiquette to ignore. The two primary issues are ones I mentioned in my review : 1) Excess of paint/casting material around the breasts. This isn’t a big issue for many of them, [...]

In an unfortunate turn of events, it seems that some of the Kotobukiya Thor statues have paint chips along the hand that holds the hammer. It’s been reported by about half a dozen people so far, but not by everyone. It seems to vary from mild to moderately bad. Since the vast majority don’t seem [...]

It’s strange that most of my statue alerts are about Sideshow Collectibles. Probably due to the absolutely huge amount of product they’ve been putting out lately from a variety of factories, I’m sure they’ll still working out the kinks. Anyways, this enormous $2k beast of a statue started shipping out and there’s been a few [...]

I’ve been reading in a few forum threads that there’s a number of common problems with the Sideshow Collectibles Power Loader Diorama. This is fairly unfortunately, since it’s a fantastic looking piece otherwise, as usual with these statue alerts, don’t let it put you off of buying it, just make sure to inspect whatever piece [...]

Seems that this is starting to have some issues. I’ve seen a few reports from separate people over a few forums, it’s very similar to the Sideshow Collectibles Iron Man 1:1 bust. If I had to guess, Sideshow was probably using the same factory for a few of their 1:1 busts and some of them [...]

The way the packaging was designed, it’s been reported that in a fair few instances the wire in Daredevil’s hands has been rubbing on his chest, sometimes causing paint rubs or small chips. This has obviously not happened to ALL the statues, it just seems to be somewhat common. As usual, make sure to inspect [...]

There’s been a fair few statues lately that have had paint issues or even assembly issues. Ones that if you didn’t know about, you might accidentally damage your statue/toy, or might keep your item boxed up and find out 8 months down the line that it looks like garbage. If nothing else, this can be [...]

There’s been a fair few complaints on various forums about the Jessica Rabbit bust that recently shipped from Sideshow, but was created by Enesco. If you’ve received one of these busts, I suggest not keeping it sealed in the box even if you’re not planning to display it. Open it up and check if it’s [...]
