Re: Rogue PF
From 2/15/2011....
Thanks for ____ing the production up Sideshow. I know I can always count on you to ____ on a otherwise great product with mediocre paint apps.

1000000000% full of win
Exlusive or fail! SS did a great job........on the prototype. Fingers crossed production holds up.

Re: Rogue PF
Sure there are flaws, bro, we're always gonna get flaws on statues because nothing is ever perfect.
But I'm still gonna wait until I get mine before I make any comment. I'm just being a cautiously optimistic now.
Same here, homie. Like I've said so far...I'm not gonna comment until I have her in hand and see for myself. Other people's opinions are irrelevant to me, if I like Rogue when I open the box then that's all that matters.
Well said, Mike.

Same here. Rogue is my last statue purchase this year and I'm still looking forward to her, even if the current in-hand pics have sapped my optimism a little. But I refuse to panic until I have her here in front of me.

while she's not perfect, when was the last time we got something perfect from ssc?? she still looks good imo, and the ass still smokes
at the idea that Disney had anything to do with this. I guarantee you that SS really probably had little to do with it. I'm sure it's a factory issue where the molds weren't exact in the buttcrack department.
It would have appeared changed at SDCC if it were consciously done, although it should have never made it past QC neither should those eyes....
Well said, Mike.

Re: Rogue
hmmm this is worrying... just started my collection earlier this year with an exclusive gambit pf and the back-in-black spiderman comiquette which i got off the secondary market, and i'm really impressed by the both of them. POed the reg edition for this (1st ever PO for a SS statue)... expectations have taken a beating so far... hopefully it'll look better when it arrives

That is the best comparison shot right there. They sure did screw up the hiney.

Re: Rogue
I think the butt mold is the same as the prototype. All the "wrinkles" in the costume are still there. The reason it looks different to me is because the in hand pieces seem to have more paint applied to the crack area. You can see the orange tint that has been applied on top of the yellow to add shading. The prototype does not appear to have this orange paint. Compare the two photos above. The orange runs all along the crack and under both cheeks (and yes I'm giggling as I write this as I cannot believe I am scrutinizing this so much).
While this change is not for the better, I can live with it. The changes/bad paint job on the heads is what is really unacceptable to me. I do respect people's opinions, but I do not agree with the statement that we never get anything perfect from Sideshow anymore, so this isn't that bad. I don't want perfect. I just want something that is close to the prototype we were shown. The prototype clearly shows that they are capable of making an awesome looking statue. However, when it goes into mass production over in China, there is way too much that is getting lost in translation.
We should not have to make excuses for Sideshow's shoddy workmanship - especially at the prices we are paying.

Re: Rogue
This is probably one of the most accurate statement when talking about how this statue looks in person as compared to in hand photos. When I look at mine from different angles her eye(s) don't seem to be wandering as much. That's probably why I didn't want to take out the better camera, because of all the things my smaller camera at worked brought to my attention. At the end of the day I still think the paint apps are off and could've been better. I like the overall sculpt as much as before.

Re: Rogue
I personally still believe that even though we are having some problems. She is still going to be a hard find down the road. Because as I previously alluded to, it looks different from the naked eye as opposed to seeing the statue from behind the lens.
With 750 EX pcs, they are definitely going to have stock sitting around in their warehouse.

Re: Rogue
Darth Talon had wandering eye complaints and now it's an in demand statue. It looks like the paint apps are very hit or miss here but I think this will be a very popular statue down the road.

Re: Rogue
I think the reason they filled in the butt crack was more for practical reasons rather than Disney. To be able to paint the crack without paint clumping in between the cheeks during mass production would be very difficult ( think Scarlet witch comi cleavage )

Re: Rogue
Cant honestly believe anyone cares about the butt when there are such ridiculous paint issues. How many people are really gonna display this with the ass facing forward?
*insert virgin collector joke here*
