He arrived today! Very happy with this one!
The guy pictures above has an issue. Yours looks fine.
You can find problems with almost any piece from any company if you look hard enough. Granted ssc record has not been the best over the past couple of years but they seem to be getting better. Personally I have had very few problems with them. Guess I have been lucky.

Real lucky.
I think in general (not just Sideshow) I've had problems big and small with about 1/3 of my statues.
BUT with Sideshow's and others replacement parts policy etc at least some of our issues are remedied.
Heck I'm expecting a replacement part for my Boba Fett in the next week or two.

So your visor didn't look like mine does?
Look at the photo above... It looks like there is a little weathering on the bottom of the visor also... Mine looks to have a tiny amount too... You are ok dude.. Just relax and enjoy your statue

What's funny is when I buy an already sold out statue on eBay, I am less stressed and picky than when I buy it new from Sideshow lol.
OCD is a *****
It sure is lol!
Well, my below problems have been reviewed by SSC as such:
Thank you for your email.Please know that I have looked over your photos and the only issue that I see is the chip on the base. As for the rest of the item there are all normal paint variation of the item. As these are all hand painted items, you will be able to find similar variations on every piece if you look at it close enough.
As we do not have a replacement for the base I can offer you a credit of $50.00 for the chipping. If you would like to accept the credit please let me know by March 31,2016 and I will be happy to assist you!

So, one thing we know is basically they're okay with crappy paint work, misaligned parts, and big scratches as they basically reply with comments that I don't know what I'm talking about as they tell me what the issues are with the statue I have right in front of me. Regardless, I will be sending back my Boba Fett and doing without over having a big chip right in front. Not the response I was wanting at all.

sorry to hear Avenger.
"normal paint variation" is their way to force people to pay for return shipping. You would have had to do that if not for the chip to the base.
It is really sad when I company has to essentially lie to try and make it as difficult as possible for someone to return something. I remember their customer service dept telling someone that his bent cody was "battle damage". sigh.

What is it with Sideshow taking an eternity to reply to emails as of late ?
When I received mine last Monday I had an small piece broken off the back near the jet pack. I emailed support with pictures that day, took 7 days for a reply & god knows how long it'll take for them to respond to their unsatisfactory $25 credit reply I sent. At this rate it could take weeks to get this sorted.

It took over 4 weeks for one of my tickets to be finalized. The resolution after waiting nearly a month was "after comparing your statue to others we have here, I do not believe that we have a suitable replacement. These are hand painted statues...." Usually they will offer a credit or let you return it but I was offered neither because it took them so damn long to respond that my return window expired

Man it sucks to hear about all the issues some of you guys are having! I got mine today from my local comic shop and love it! I haven't noticed any defects yet and keeping my fingers crossed I don't find anything.

Who canceled on their Ex boba? I bought a regular one after I figured I would not get the ex boba on wait list. Low and behold my wait list was fulfilled and now I have the opportunity to get the EX version.
Same. I ended up passing on the exclusive since I would never display him with the ROTJ gun anyway.
Got a conversion on the EX. Just can't pass on this guy. I know that I would regret it.
I'll most likely never use the EX either but SS has me hooked to the EX version of every statue like a junkie.

The base and Jet pack should be replaced or you should get more then a 50.00 discount.
The other issues IMO are non issue.. The scratch in the rifle looks like paint.. Is it?? If it is a scratch then I would say it's a small issue but if it;s paint to looks like damage then it is what it is.
And that number 9 you hate is just a hand made paint variation.. It;s not painted incorrectly, you just did not like how it turned out.
But like I said.. a chipped base and messed up jet pack should be replaced. Personally I could live with the Jet pack because it's in the back but that base is a no go for sure.
I would not call that paint variation a lie... There are other times where I would agree... It may look like a nine but it;s not. and in real life things that get damaged take on interesting shapes.
Again I think this is a good example of where that line works. Wonky eyes, skin too dark, painting outside of the lines... That is all BS.. This one Not so much IMO.

Sorry to see you got a defective statue...
You should ask Sideshow to replace it with one that stands upright, looks way better.
