What's Your Obsession

Lots of people have been reporting they’re getting Rogue statues with eyes crossed on both the EX and regular heads, poor paint over multiple areas of the statue, really badly applied makeup paint, and unfortunately, a filled in butt over what was shown on the prototype. Basically, lots of problems. I received mine and the [...]

One of my most anticipated pieces of the last year, the Fred Barton 1:1 scale Robocop bust, has been running into some issues. Breakage during shipping and some cases of inconsistent paint, as well as some construction issues. However, for those concerned about dropping $850 and possibly getting a product you don’t like, Fred sent [...]

Always a sad time when I have to update this feature. The Popcultureshock Guile seems to be damn popular with people, so it’s unfortunate that it appears to have some serious breakage issues. The most common areas are the hands and legs, here’s two example shots out of well over a dozen that I’ve seen. [...]

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 [...]
