nearmint Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So, the Classic Catwoman statue arrived today from Midtown Comics, but there's no base in the box. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So, the Classic Catwoman statue arrived today from Midtown Comics, but there's no base in the box. Very annoying. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but did you check for multiple compartments? The original Catwoman had two Styrofoam compartments: one for her body, head and hands, and another with the base.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but did you check for multiple compartments? The original Catwoman had two Styrofoam compartments: one for her body, head and hands, and another with the base. There are two compartments, but the one with the large space for the base was occupied by a heavily wrapped duplicate Catwoman head. I had a feeling there was going to be a problem when the tracking read that it was a 12.2 pound package. Should have been 17 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erndog Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So, the Classic Catwoman statue arrived today from Midtown Comics, but there's no base in the box. Very annoying. Damn shame. Let us know how this turns out. I thought my Spidey JSC statue was missing it's arms. Turns out there was a compartment on the front of the box I didn't see. Goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-man Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 possibly a display item at the store and they forgot to pack the base? does the statue look mint? any sign of dust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I prefer spending a few extra bucks to get stuff directly from Sideshow for the peace of mind of knowing that I can go right to them to sort these kinds of issues. Also, those reward points add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 possibly a display item at the store and they forgot to pack the base? does the statue look mint? any sign of dust? It was definitely displayed. The head was wrapped in green bubble wrap, and the statue was dusty. If I order from a large retailer's website, shouldn't I receive a new statue? Shouldn't they at least note on their website if the item has been displayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearmint Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Good news. Midtown is replacing the statue with an unopened one. And they're reimbursing me for return shipping costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoked they are replacing it mate. Absolutely should. I'd say in answer to your first two questions, as you already know, yes and yes!!! Fairly outrageous - so it's good to see that they've done the right thing now. But should've done the right thing the first time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escaflown4 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Anyone see this? Looks like Sideshow is coming out with a Phoenix of their own. I'm curious to see how this will compete with the one XM released. This is going to be interesting since XM set the bar so high.
