Does Sideshow have Quality Control?

[supermetroid]

I've noticed alot of people have posted pictures of statues (Spider-woman most recently) with broken parts and bad paint. Do these statues get inspected?

 

[Darth Madden]

My guess is they take one off the line the first day and do a quick look over then say "ok" and leave the rest to go untouched.

They put quality control stickers on them, not sure if they inspect them though. Seems to mainly be the Marvel girls that suffer. Haven't had any issues with what I've bought but can see why the Marvel collectors are upset.

No in all the statues, I do have lots problem with ss. Most of them are paint job.

Yeah, I really don't know what those stickers are supposed to mean, since many statues are so clearly screwed up when they arrive in collector's hands. Maybe they make sure the right piece is in the box? That they have all their appendages? SSC has really been uneven with that stuff in recent years. For every masterful release like PF Joker or Jason you seem to get a stinker like Rogue or Mark VI Maquette.

There were (and still are) tons of problems with the Stormtrooper PF.

That's great.

I think that 3rd guy might be the one that announces edition sizes.

Their QC stickers don't mean anything to me anymore. Seems like they just slapped a QC sticker on every box just before it leaves the factory. Nothing more, nothing less.

OP must be new.

Their quality control is the same Chinese kids that make their stuff.

Hey, Bill Clinton saved those kids' lives. Chinese toddlers need jobs too, you know.

Do you think this is funny Sideshow?

Some don't even have QC stickers? They need to step up big time. I can only support so much before I make a decision to invest my hard earn money somewhere else. That's about $10-$15k a year...

Ssc needs to get rid of some the factories that has known QC issues.

Is this a statement or a question.

 

[golobulus]

This thread would be a great place to submit pictures of QC issues.

My Emperor figure was a mess.
