Do Sideshow Collectibles have problems with quality control? Would be a shame if the Court of the Dead statues came out as anything less than stellar. Their prototypes have looked incredible.

Their prototypes always look amazing, but the finished pieces can be hit and miss:

Just a small sampling of what can go wrong:

The worst recent statue (came out right after my hellboy):

I hope so... Incidentally, I'd like to know the dimensions and weight of the LED units box. If it's not too big, I might consider preordering the PG itself from amiami now (preorders are still open atm) and grabbing the LEDs later. But I'm afraid it could be a huge box, considering that message on amiami : "This item must be delivered alone and it cannot be combined with other items". If that's the case, PG Unicorn + LED units + PG-level shipping costs x 2 may be more than I'm willing to spend on this... Decisions...


Given the price, I doubt the LEDs will be that big. At most, it'll probably be the size of the PG Skygrassper set, so maybe $20 to ship.

The LED's should be like parcel envelope size based on LED kit stuff I ordered in the past for my lego MOCS and so on.


Judging by the cost, around $100 for 30 LEDs, the LED has to have more than the wiring and bulbs. I suspect it'll have optional clear parts for the psycho frame, as opposed to the clear red that comes with the kit and maybe some other accessories. The most I could see it coming with is a whole RG-style pre-built inner frame with the LEDs pre-installed. That's not seeming as likely, though, especially with the Unicorn's transformation gimmick. I don't think you could just snap armor onto the frame afterwards. Needs to be build right into the frame.

So the Taichi and Yamato G.E.M. figures are getting re-released.

Don't think I'll get them (mainly due to 1/10 scale), but I'm kinda interested in getting these W Rubber Mascots.

What I find more ridiculous is that people are try to sell them for $150 a piece on ebay.
 
Kind of a dick thing to do. Imagine if you ran a business and a customer ordered stuff, you then get it and he cancels at the last minute.

I understand canceling in advance but not when the items are in or in transit
I know brah, just feeling down.....


I see Megahouse is getting into the Psycho Pass game....
 
So I have Alter Asuka, Space Dandy Fig, and Windwaker Link coming in later this month. Don't think I'll be able to afford EMS, so I think I'll stick with SAL. How boned is my wallet guys?
 
I was considering that Hataraku Maou-sama set too but I only really want the Sadao Maou one, so I'm willing to wait and see if I find him at a con or something.

Edits:
If we're doing a Maou-sama split I wouldn't mind getting either emi.
And if no one else wants Chiho I'll could get her too (つд`)
