Sideshow Rhino Comiquette - Link to Regular in 1st post.

Just bought my nephew his easter eggs today. They are a good deal thicker than this.

Love me my vintage sideshow..

Love me my vintage sideshow..

i've had some issues with ssc in the past, but i have to say they've looked after me without problems. this issue and the $20 credit for "instock" items only is a ****ing joke and insults everyone in the hobby imo....

So much melodrama and fear mongering. Rhino is hollow when compared to skaar. Is he any thinner than Baby Doll? She only weighs 7lbs but gets nothing but praise. Rhino was always advertised as 18lbs. I don't know why anyone ever though it would be full cast. None of their statues are anymore. Then you have people trolling this thread pretending to be "insulted" or let down but it isn't as if they had it preordered. It is to laugh.

Who turns heads when people come to see my statues? Hulk Maquette and Rhino Comiquette are everyones favorites. Not Spider-Man Comiquette nor original Thor PF. Fact is the sculpts are getting better. The amount of detail on Hulk and Rhino is amazing. People also know better than to attempt to lift my stuff.

As for the cracks... ya that sucks. It has nothing to do with it being hollow. The cracks do not penetrate all the way through. It happens where there are skin folds(where the outer layer is weakest). I'm not sure the outer layer is polystone but rather vinyl. Before anyone requires bypass surgery from that statement, consider that Jerry of Pop Culture Shock is going in this direction. Vinyl outter layer with polystone inside. The vinyl permits dar more detail than polystone is capable of. Anyhow, someone here posted a ridiculously easy fix for the cracks that requires no skill or significant investment. Fortunately mine did not have any issues.

This is a terrific statue that represents Rhino very well. The sculpt is amazingly detailed and very well painted. I wish I didn't like it as I really wanted to save some money for some new gym equipment but I can't do it. I'd sooner sell my Skaar.

Wow you just reminded me of how expensive these things are. 400.00 to 600.00 plus is no chump change. It's like buying a HD huge screen tv or frig every week or so.

Yeah, as it turns out your statement is false. The cracks are caused by how hollow they cast him, and they absolutely do go all the way through. Since yours came with no issues, I have no idea how you can state otherwise.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

...because anything that is mentioned that's not stroking it is considered trolling. (even if it's true)

well said. If they took care of us like in the past. I would not be so worried about getting my new shipments.

Patched mines up today with some epoxy putty, just put some in with a toothpick, smoothed the excess with my finger and then sculpted fine lines in to match with the surrounding area with the toothpick.

I would love to see these cracks "that you can pass a coin through" yours has.....mind posting some pics?

Awesome job...AJ83

Yeah, bit of a mea culpa on that claim. Seeing them through the eyes of outrage and injustice made them a bit bigger in my mind. I later tried a dime and it didn't quite make it, so I was hoping that my post got buried and forgotten.
I did however manage to get a pin through this one on the upper left shoulder and in the cluster of holes just above his buttcrack.

 

[buzzybean]

My Rhino returned itself! He was ticked off they sculpted his head too small, climbed out of the box and ran back to Thousand Oaks.

[gofourindian]

I can understand that Randy. But that doesn't look any worse than AJ83's cracks or the cracks mine had. That close up pic makes it look worse. Glad your getting a new body though...keep those fingers crossed! Seems like most of the cracks are in the same places...just some are longer than others.

Um... i am not the only collector in my area. Show me a pic where it penetrates completly.

Because you had a bunch of posts deleted for trolling. You directly attacked my pictures I posted where I was trying to contribute to the thread. That was all the proof I needed that you are trolling. It would be one thing if you got the statue and you disliked the result (that is perfectly respectable), but you never actually ordered it. Your cries of feeling "insulted" by the statue fall on deaf ears.

Great job. You can't even tell.

 

[ambasah]

It is bs anyone has to fix this themselves because ss isn't willing to remedy the problem. A $20 credit is a slap in the face to every collector. And for the record I have the exclusive.

Do you mean you could get a pin through the crack as in all the way into the hollow space in the statue?

 

[Coffee Papa Bear]

Great job AJ. No more cracks!
