samaritan replica refund please!

[galactiboy]

It said mine had already been added as well? Strange.

While I can understand your plight... does this also mean that the people who've resold them for $700 should now refund the buyers. Its a different, and luckily for us, better version.

 

[occulum]

sell it for retail. Im pretty sure you could get $299 for it.

Weird, I clicked to rate the thread and it said my vote had already been added. The board can now read minds.

Yeah me too! WTF is up with that?

all you have to ask yourself is:-is this the same design as the original samaritan..if the answer is yes then sideshow has undercut the collectability of one of there own products which they state they will never do?

So how much did you pay for your Samaritan?

 

[SKARY]

I for one am glad about this piece being issued made of metal and glow bullets is Bad A** since i missed out. But maybe sideshow should of released Big Baby instead to keep the peace

retail...$299 + shipping,import duties..its easy to laugh,i love a joke also..i'm not bringing this up just for me but for collectors who'll get stift by sideshow in the future..if no one says something about it then the same thing will happen in the future.

when hellboy 3 is released in 3-4 years,can they do the same samaritan with a different base again...will that be alright?

 

[tomandshell]

I have a feeling that it isn't far behind...

The press release mentions "Prop replicas of Hellboy's trusty guns." That sounds mighty plural to me.

In a way I do agree with you, it looks identical. But at the same time they did not completely re-release, and what the did was take a great collectible and actually make it better.

I'd be bummed if I just bought one for $700... but personally I'd prefer the quality piece over the older one.

 

[galactiboy]

Meh, if they release a 3rd one what do I care... I'm stoked to get this one.

If people don't think things like this will happen they are naive. Collectible companies always rehash stuff. It is what they do.

Too be honest....if I had paid $700+ on the orginal, I would really be kicking myself in the ass right now...especially knowing that I would probably never be able to get that $$ back if I tried to resell it. It does suck for those that own the original....no question about it...so for that I feel bad......but being that I also didn't have the original, I'm happy I can get one that's metal at retail. I've spent too much damn $$ buying things on the secondary market.

Condolences for all you original Samaritan owners....I'd be a bit pissed too...unless I had money coming out my ass and I could afford to have both.

when i purchased the samaritan do you think i thought it would be copied using a different material..No..neither i'm sure did anyone else..

if sideshow want to release glowing bullets and base which has not been done before then ok..but the same samaritan?.....i'm sure collectors who are pleased with the new release know exactly what im talking about.

sideshow have a legal responsiblitily to keep to promises..or risk loosing collectors trust in there products.

 

[tomandshell]

It's not the same Samaritan. Sorry, but it's not.

A polystone piece from the original cast, reproduced in additional numbers for more money, would be worth complaining about. This is a new piece, made of different materials, from the second film.

well then..maybe i'll get a second shot at the darkness 1:1 at retail or the aliens 1:1 bust

 

[galactiboy]

I guess its what do you consider different... in this case I would honestly say it is different because of materials, base, packaging, bullets etc. It is (most likely) the same mold, but other than that it is different.

 

[EVILFACE]

Being made of metal makes II more desirable.

When Legend 2 comes out you probably will.

Yes--they didn't re-release the first one, they made a better one. Which is more frustrating for owners of the original? I can't say.
