Nice review. Touching up the armor looks like it would be the same as doing body work on a car, not that you should have to do that on a 2k piece. Would love to see someone do a custom paint job on this. Base should be heavier I think, especially on something like this.

Congrats, hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for taking the time for your review and posting pictures with explanations Chr0n0.

Far from flawless, but glad you're happy with it in the end. I can't imagine return shipping that thing from Australia back to the States.

Reading this isn't inspiring: "Will I buy another SSC LSF? Probably not."

Hey Ch0n0, congrats on getting your IM bro cool pics. Sorry to hear abt your QC issues on the paint apps, especially the marks on the forearm...that's definately not acceptable. I think I mentioned in my review how disappointed I was with the base also and how lightweight it is...compare it with the MKIII LSF and the difference in weight for each of the bases is shocking! The base for the MKIII LSF is one of the heaviest I've ever recieved as part of a collectible. I also have the same issue as you in regards to back piece and weak magnets! Like you said, it just appears to be such a weak connection that your initial thought is to just leave it it the box to prevent any damage occurring...however, I have been in touch with sideshow in regards to this and am in the process of getting a replacement sent out so of definately do the same thing with yours aswell as asking for a replacement forearm...cos I wouldn't accept that. It all sounds similar to the experience I went through with my MKVII lifesize bust. The first one I had recieved had a shocking difference in colour on the head and torso plus I had terrible scratches on the helmet...I recieved my replacement yesterday and it's turned out perfect!!! So it's worth getting in touch with sideshow with your issues as they will be glad to help you out bro

Thanks Andy, I will contact SSC.

Regarding the base, the only way I can put it is, I was expecting something like a sewer man-hole cover and what I got was a digestive biscuit!

Ouch, hahaha. Btw where is good comic book store in Melbourne if you wanted to hunt down old comic and posters? Other than Minotaur or Comics R Us.

I hear you, we're pretty much in the same boat.

What do you plan on doing about the magnets in the armour panel on the back (the jet pack below the shoulder mounted munitions pod) that won't hold?

great analogy! I really wish you had the chance to see what I mean abt the MKIII LSF base...now that actually weighs as much as a Man-hole!!! but then it doesn't surprise me too much as sideshow have been consistent throughout most if their releases in cutting corners ie making pieces hollow to cut down on material aswell as reducing cost of shipping

Yea, get in touch with sideshow and get those pieces replaced and that way at least you'll feel a whole lot better abt the piece as a whole

Thanks again Andy, Yankee, I've take Andy's advice and emailed SSC about the armour, left arm...


...and the head

Found this little beauty:

No, its not a reflection (as I first thought). The paint is actually so thin in this spot above the left eye, that the light shines through it!

Send that back too.

Anytime buddy ...there's no point accepting a piece when it clearly isn't right and needs replacing. As I mentioned earlier, Sideshow are pretty good with replacements. It took roughly 10 working days in total to receive my replacement MKVII lifesize bust, which arrived yesterday and that one has arrived in a much more acceptable condition, although like with any piece, there will always be slight inconsistencies in the paint apps...something we've grown accustom to nowadays with Sideshow pieces so nothing these days will be 100% perfect unfortunately Let us know how you get on bro

Sorry to hear you didn't receive a perfect piece chr0n0.

The retailer I ordered from here in the UK probably won't get stock of these til end of Oct/Nov, I just hope they get a good batch as I can kiss goodbye to getting any iffy parts replaced.

Hey Si, yea I wish you well with your delivery bro. Not sure if you've ordered through CDUK but Lee is excellent at checking all the stock before it reaches your doorstep so no need to worry there

Sithlord75 said:

Hey Andy, yeah it's on order with Lee @ CDUK along with a few other pieces. I did have a problem with my Alien Big Chap maquette a couple of years ago, but like you said Lee was excellent in getting me a replacement sent out. He did have extra stock of the maquette though at the time, not sure he will have of this piece.

As much as I'm really looking forward to receiving my first lsf, I can't help but worry at the same time if that makes sense.
