Destruction of the 1/2 scale Prime 1 BvS Superman Statue

[@Destinious]

Destroy one collectable to gain another....what a stupid, wasteful world we live in! So many less fortunate fans that would of loved to have received this, even with its flaws.

[@stewmurray47]

Agreed Destinar!! I would have much rather sent it back to be sold on or hell, Sideshow could have donated it to a school or Hospital Children's ward etc. Such a wasteful policy but this was the only way I could get a replacement that wasn't leaning badly... Thanks for watching and commenting buddy

[@bcreviews515]

I agree. They could at least do a giveaway. I got sure would be happy to have a slightly defaulted 1/2 scale and take time to repair. I own this one. Knowing the price, it's really unfortunate they couldn't at least sell in eBay etc and donate funds to charity

[@richurro20]

Yeah forget about the kids born with Aids and the cartels and shit... Statues made of polystone and resin matter the most. lol stfu.

[@lalobarrera99]

They are "collectible pieces", so one must be destroyed in order to have a replacement. Make sense... there could not (MUST NOT) be "two same statues".The Artists stablished already how many of those unique pieces were gonna exist... they actually have serial numbers. It hurts. but that's the way it should be. Art is always handled that way. Real art.

[@lalobarrera99]

You talk/write to much, brother. I am a clay modeler ARTIST, and If I only do 3 formal replicas of a piece, and one of the owners claims he wants a replacement because his has a problem... then I would construct one specially for him in order to "REPLACE" the one he has. Haven't notice that the word says it all?: *R E P L A C E* In that matter, the old one MUST be destroyed, since I -the artist-, only approves the existence of only 3 Pieces, not 4 !!! Period.

[@ilhantele]

Broke my heart a little watching this

[@stewmurray47]

Broke my heart doing it Ilhan!! Wish I could have just this back but Sideshow's policies are pretty strict with this sort of thing...such a waste. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@raulparada4244]

That's what the quality of the JND statue did to Prime 1 Studios version when released.... JND Superman is so much better.

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

Did they send you the replacement first, then ask you to destroy it? Or other way around? Because I might have to go through this same process with my diecast iron man mark 4....

[@stewmurray47]

Jack Mehoff Hey Jack, firstly thanks for watching! I had to destroy the original first and then wait 3 or 4 weeks for the replacement to be sent out. It was a loooong wait but I was really pleased with the replacement. It was perfect.

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

stewmurray47 wow! Really? I’m not comfortable destroying my figure first and then having to wait 3-4 weeks to get a replacement. That I might have to talk to the sideshow first. Btw did you order the statue directly from sideshow or from another 3rd party retailer who buys from sideshow. Me? I bought my figure from a 3rd party online retailer who order their batches from sideshow. Hope that’s another story.... I thought sideshow will first get a hold of customer’s credit info after they send out the replacement, and if the customer didn’t send pictures of the destroyed figure, then they will charge them. I’m much more comfortable with them getting hold of my credit info as a leverage rather than listening to their demands: destroy the item first and wait for 4 weeks to get the replacement.... That’s a psychological torture!

[@stewmurray47]

Jack Mehoff Yeah it’s a looong wait that’s for sure! I ordered mine directly through Sideshow which made things a little easier to deal with. The delay was waiting for Prime 1 to send a replacement from their warehouses. Hope it all works out for you buddy

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

stewmurray47 shit! So it’s going to go down with me as well? My local collectible gets reply from his buyer who orders figures from sideshow whole sales representative and the representative will then ask Hot Toys from Hong Kong to send them the replacement... The process would be going from A to Z.... My local store has very same item I ordered from, and if they could just allow me to do a direct exchange... everything would be done Faster!!

[@maximusvr46]

They Could have just put a new suit and cape on it. Did you ever get the replacement? please upload an updated vid

[@YourUncleBenis]

Would it still count as completely destroyed if you kept the S-shield? I mean, that would look pretty good on a wall...

[@stewmurray47]

Thanks Ben! I do actually still have the S shield...I had to rip and cut it away from the suit but it came away intact which is a cool little memento of this ordeal lol. Thanks for the support and comment

It would've been epic if after you did that, Sideshow sent an email that said JUST KIDDING. Or... if months later the new one would've came back with a black suit and a mullet. Or... since you contacted the returns department about Superman, the replacement would've been Brandon Routh. I love your backyard though, seriously. Wish my grass looked green and fluffy like that. It's like God's carpet. I'd sleep on it if I wouldn't wake up with resin bits of Superman's nose and bangs in my beard.

[@nackenbeisser]

You love THAT backyard?!? 😲 Why? It's just lawn and a prison fence all around. Is that considered a garden in Scotland? No trees, bushes, flowers etc.? By the way, you could at least have painted the hammer in kryptonite-green! 😁

Hey Wod, basically the statue was leaning back pretty heavily and was getting worse day by day. I contacted Sideshow and asked them if I could send it back for a replacement but they said I had to destroy the first one or they wouldn't ship the new one. I didn't want to do it. Thanks for watching!

[@stewmurray47]

Thanks for watching Kobalta! This music was played by my good friend Richard who regularly contributes music for my channel. It's not really publically available. Appreciate the support buddy!!

[@WonderWomanHeart]

I’ve been looking for this. I heard about the leaning MOS from another collector here on YT. Watching it break is exactly what I’m afraid of if my Wonder Woman ever falls. I pick my angel up by the base and move the whole statue around sometimes when cleaning my room. I took her outside to film and take pictures. Unlike Steve Trevor, I’m below average but can still manage to lift her carrying from the base. I want to get a cheap floor scale to weigh her, curious to know.

[@stewmurray47]

Wonder Woman Heart Thanks for watching!! I would always recommend taking the statue off the base before moving. The more you carry and exert lateral side to side stress the more chance that the peg will loosen etc. Plus it’s safer! Hope you have her for a good long time. Thanks again for the support with my channel

[@WonderWomanHeart]

What I like about the MOS v WW is the MOS peg is in the base, whereas the WW peg comes out from under her left foot. I prefer the MOS style so I can actually rest the statue itself flat on the floor. I’ve already put her down for a moment and had to do so on the peg with the body leaning at an angle and resting on something. No worry I don’t move her much at all. She’s permanently placed right now. I believe that the MOS is one piece with attached head. WW is two piece, upper and lower body. If I ever had to do extensive moving, I’d disassemble for safety. However if you do that, you’ll have to take apart the lasso, and every happy WW 1/2 scale owner knows about the lasso and how fun that is to mess with. But thank you for the advice! I’m over the moon that I have it and am very protective of it. The few times I’ve moved the entire statue I was pretty steady. Baby steps. ☺️

[@AjI2009]

I was just curious if I could purchase the chrome pieces from you? thank you

[@stewmurray47]

Hey buddy unfortunately I disposed of the damaged parts as soon as my replacement arrived. Sorry

[@lionelep1]

Omg this was about to pain me so hard to see this happen when I saw this in the thumbnail but when I read the description I had a huge sigh of relief. Nice video!

[@stewmurray47]

Hehe thanks Lionel!! Yeah I think a lot of people have watched the video on silent or just skipped to the destruction and hate me for doing this...even though I HAD to in order to get the replacement! lol. Glad you like the video buddy, it was a sour experience for sure but I have a perfect replacement now so it was all worth it!

[@chazkhaira4690]

Where has Stewmurray47 go El???

[@jam_2315]

I'll never understand why they changed those few little things that made it so much less screen accurate. Lowering the shield and adding the gold on the wrist. Just makes no sense.

[@stewmurray47]

I totally agree Jack!! It was so strange that they made the changes...I can live with them of course but I wish I was able to raise up the S shield even slightly! Again, thanks for the comment

[@graemel3069]

Hey hi there, The head sculpt, do you think it is accurate to Henry Cavill? The destruction of the statue is a waste but that is the company policy request. It would be great to give it to a charity for children for them to enjoy...Cheers

[@stewmurray47]

Hey Graeme, thanks for watching and commenting buddy. Firstly yeah I really do think the head sculpt nails the look of Henry Cavill. There are better angles than others for sure but overall it's the most accurate sculpt we've ever been given of him in statue form. Yes!! Donating him to a charity, school or hospital would have been SO much better than destroying it!! Sideshow really need to change their policies, it just makes sense. Thanks

[@nofacedgoldfish6216]

As much as the policy sounds ridiculous, it actually does make sense. If an artist makes a painting and makes 3 copies of it, and doesn't want more so it is actually rare and has a lot of value, the last thing the artist would want is to make a *replacement* of something, and having the original piece that's being replaced still exist somewhere. If the creator wants a specific number of his art created, having extras ruins it's value. Especially for a collectable.

[@rayzhang7591]

What kind of f**ked up policy is that? LOL. Hope my Gabriel Angelos wont have any issue on arrival.

[@stewmurray47]

It's crazy how it is wasteful but as a collector I totally understand why you have to get what you pay for since they cost so much. Still it must have been a shame feeling destroying it. I imagine it's the same feeling humans have with books, you know how we seem to have a protection of books where you don't want to rip, treat, burn or break them. All normal people have this feeling u an sure, people through history who try to keep people down burn books but I cannot bring myself to harm a book. Hope that makes sense.

[@stewmurray47]

Yeah makes perfect sense buddy. I agree I hated doing this but sadly it was a means to an end. I got a replacement and it's in perfect condition so that's good.

[@stewmurray47]

LOL!! Thankfully I had a small piece of kryptonite embedded into the tip of the hammer for just such an occasion! Thanks for watching and commenting buddy!

[@srcoi5054]

Bro can yiu pls fix that😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@stewmurray47]

DiamondProGamer Roblox and Moŕe Sorry buddy there was no fixing it! I did get a perfect replacement though! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@anim8ormatt]

They require that to keep the edition size consistent

[@stewmurray47]

Yeah that makes sense Matt, but couldn't they have it returned, refurb it and sell it on to another collector and still do that? Either way It's a longstanding policy with them and I ended up getting a perfect replacement so I guess there's a silver lining here somewhere. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy

[@zeheero]

@@stewmurray47 It cost them more money to do that. Btw, did you ever get the same edition number on your replacement? I am asking because Prime 1 Studio is asking me to do the same things as you did.

[@stewmurray47]

zeheero Hey buddy, no it was a completely different edition number I got with the replacement.

[@anim8ormatt]

@@stewmurray47 I know. I'm not saying you get the same one back. It's just too help control what examples are out there

[@stewmurray47]

Matt Wessel Yeah I totally get that Matt. I was just replying to the comment by Zeheero. He/she asked if I got the same edition number on my replacement.

[@bcreviews515]

I had to do this on a LS bust. It's actually not as fun as it looks :(

[@stewmurray47]

Agreed!

[@559Ebike]

damm just like mountain bike warranty you have to cut up the bike for a warranty replacement

[@VanAxxel]

Why ????!!! 😟😔😭😭😭

[@JordanMgordan]

Miss your channel, man. Wish there were more content.

[@stewmurray47]

VenomShock Thanks buddy I really appreciate that!! I really regret not having more time to devote to the channel as I loved sharing all my new pickups. My collections has grown a LOT in the past few years but work has been crazy so it’s hard to find the time. If you check my Instagram page ‘stewmurray47’ you’ll see all my new items. I’m hoping to get back to KZbin when I have more time for filming. Thanks again for the support!

[@lgvleo23]

nooooo!!!

[@magonzal70GONZO]

First off brother, hearing you on video again made me realize how much I miss your reviews!!!!!!! And second, this was heart wrenching and cool all at once! My wife enjoyed it too ...lol.

[@stewmurray47]

Ahh thanks as always for your support Mike!! Makes it all worthwhile buddy....I'm currently working on more reviews which hopefully won't take a year to produce!!!! LOL. Glad to hear 'Mrs Magonzal' enjoyed the video too hehe....It truly was a sour and gut punch experience doing this. Thankfully the replacement arrived and it totally perfect!! (it still has the little suit issues but I've made my peace with all those and they don't bother me anymore). No lean at all and the QC was brilliant so I guess this was kinda worth it in the longrun! (kinda!). Thanks for always watching Mike!

[@Pwasercan]

man of steel

[@princekyriecadet1063]

That's crazy.

[@stewmurray47]

Agreed Magalinnda!! Wasn't something I really wanted to do but in order to get the replacement it was a necessity. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@floppysocks4489]

At first I was like wait you can still glue that piece of face back but then the face started chipping and all hope was gone. This video makes me uncomfortable.

[@d.c8575]

Beautilful........

[@AdamAdam-wp9qk]

I know your pain i bought it 3 times it always came with flaws so i just gave up and stopped buying it :(

[@stewmurray47]

Thanks buddy! Yeah this was a tough thing to do but my replacement arrived and is perfect so I guess there's a silver lining to all of this...Sorry to hear that you didn't get one that you were happy with though....Appreciate the support and comment

[@casc7517]

Lmao this is great!!!!! Subbed. :).

[@stewmurray47]

LOL CASC, glad you liked the video. It was a tough thing to do as a big Superman fan but sadly necessary to get a replacement. Thanks for the comment and sub, I appreciate it

[@casc7517]

stewmurray47 I know, I just think it's kind of funny. It's crazy how many people are giving you a thumbs down on this video. The reason they do this so people don't take advantage of the system.

[@BrothersWebOfficial]

Please do more video man I found you like 2011!!!!!!!!!!😀 -Luke

[@stewmurray47]

Brother's Web Thanks buddy!! I appreciate the support! I really want to get back into filming regular content for the channel. I’m just so busy with work but keep picking up awesome statues and collectibles! Watch this space!

[@BrothersWebOfficial]

stewmurray47 your welcome that's ok I understand but I will keep my eye out!☺

[@dranzer2545]

Sideshow is messed up for this...still find it hard to believe

[@stewmurray47]

Me too CountRep, It makes no sense to me that they require this. I understand that they need to keep the edition size carefully controlled but they could refurb it and easily sell it on at a discounted rate. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy

[@darknessgtr1]

Glad to know you're doing ok

[@stewmurray47]

Hey buddy, thanks for the concern! Yeah I've been away for so long huh? Sad that this was one of my return videos but I felt I had to share it. I'm hoping to film some new reviews this coming week. I appreciate the support as always

[@PhotoPrince]

This is hard to watch mate! Hope they send you the new one asap!

[@stewmurray47]

Thanks buddy!! I did get the replacement and it's perfect! No leaning or QC issues whatsoever so I'm over the moon! Appreciate the comment and support

[@batdetectivetheknight4563]

Do you know Superman has a son name Jon Kent

[@ChapmanFilms]

Awwwww and interesting lol

[@stewmurray47]

Hehe thanks Jason!! Glad the replacement was fine though!
