Re: Psylocke PF.. Link to waitlist & buy in 1st post. Support the board!.

I got a message from SS about my replacement request. They asked to break the pieces first. Is that normal?

If this is your first one, it's normal. On all future replacements it is done after.

Not true. I've never been asked to break a piece before receiving the replacement. Email back and explain that you don't want to receive a replacement that looks worse than your original item.

I had a question related to the paint crack issue. I'm not an expert (or any knowledge) of paint so please go easy on me.

How long does it take for paint to crack? My base has a similar crack design to the pictures I have seen with paint cracks. However, it's not faded nor peeling like most have shown. It just has the design. I don't even know if it's even paint crack. Any help is appreciated

oh man that doesnt look good, i think the base is all airbrushed it shouldnt have those kind of lines. No idea how long until it actually cracks open, maybe temperature/humidity has to do with it as well.

maybe some paint expert can chime in...

Thanks for the response gagaliya. Appreciate it :)

I made the decision to keep it. It's been 30 days and no cracks at all. I don't think it'll crack anymore IMO. The crack design is only shown if you put it on direct light. So I'm taking the chance here and keep this one instead of possibly receiving a flawed replacement

I don't know....you can keep the base while asking for a replacement. And don't destroy the base until you get a new one of course. Its not like the head. Doesn't hurt to ask or else you'll regrets it later. Worse case, they'll denied you.

Paint will crack over time if it is too thick. When first sprayed, it looks great, even for weeks or months, but in time, it can crack like a dry riverbed.

The cracks are on my base. It's been a month and no issues. I'm confident it might stay

Damn nice pic there. Snake eyes look like a PF statue. Look at his size.

Hay guys, i was able to snag a reg of her ultra cheap from someone.

I noticed when i opened her up, she was wrapped in plastic bags with white plastic inside of those. Is this common now? cause i never seen white plastic on a statue before.

Almost all plastic has fumes/odor to it and i am wondering if that plastic is reacting to the paint some sort of way. For example if you pull the plastic off a roll and place it around the statue, then put a plastic bag on it, then pack it up. No place for the fumes to escape and just seeps into the paint.

Just a theory cause even a harsh chemical like acetone fumes can strip paint or mess it up.

I had mine for 2 weeks now she was perfect when I opened her. But after 2 weeks she has now develop a crack on her leg and my base is loaded with spider web cracks. Why sideshow? What kind of paint did you use on them? For 300.00 plus dollars I do not want a damage statue.

I have to laugh because in addition to the paint cracks on her leg, I noticed the base has developed the spider webbing cracks over the last week or so. Time to make another call to Sideshow to add a replacement base to my current replacement body order. :banana

Soon or later there will be no more replacement body.
 
Re: Psylocke PF.. Link to waitlist & buy in 1st post. Support the board!.

found spider web cracks on the base today...I was considering repainting the statue but I did not want to have to repaint the base as well, I think I will be returning her for a refund, very annoying she was a great statue.
