I have bought my fair share of polystone statues and I have never seen this happen, that box was exposed to some serious heat. Super weird to put that tight plastic film on the base btw, no other company does that. Sad that Iron Studios are behaving like this considering they are making bank with their 1/10 range. Some of their pricing is a mystery too, those Disney statues almost tripling in price when comparing the regular to deluxe, absolutely insane lol
@Siile_ I was home when the delivery truck delivered the statue, so it must have gotten stuck in a container in transit. I agree with you. Their pricing is all over the place. But I will spend my money elsewhere.
As an Brazilian collector I must agree with you. Iron Studios has no respect for us collectors, no respect at all. And it's getting more expensive every day. I've heard the CEO of Iron Studios saying in one video that Iron Studios is better than Sideshow and honestly I laugh so hard I couldn't even...
Sorry to hear that, Blabs. It's the nightmare of every collector. I got a defective statue once but I chose to keep it to avoid all the trouble with refunds, but I deeply regret it. Glad you got your money back.
Wow I’m seriously shocked about the packaging around that figure. Never had a similar problem with Iron Studios before myself. Sorry this happened to you.
Samsung did something like this to me. They sent me a watch that they were supposed to repair but never did like 5-6 months later. They ended up sending me a refurbished one that has a blank sensor plate. It's so weird. Contacted them every step of the way too. The stress isn't worth it. You made the right choice. Customer service doesn't service the customer anymore. They don't care unfortunately.
i thought you said it was gifted did you get the money back or the person who sent it? but yeah this sucks im sorry i hate when stuff goes wrong from the box/packaging
@@BlabberingCollector lol you didnt have to explain it was mostly rhetorical but thanks for the answer and i plan to just found your channel and checking it out now
Absolutely love that the base plate on the bottom says made in China. Cheaply built and packaged, but paying a premium for it. It's unacceptable at that price point.
Iron Studios has been a bad joke in Brazil. We only find parts that are different from the prototype. Broken parts, with high prices. They exploit us without mercy and deliver a very dubious quality.
That's whack. The item was two hundred dollars, this shouldn't be an issue. And yes, the potion bottles were damaged by the packaging so the visible part of the figure was also affected.
Welcome to the world of USD transactions - the worst in the world. USD and EURO transactions are slow as hell - 2-7 working days (so that's Monday to Friday only) GBP transactions clear instantly and to be honest most other currencies are quick. If it has to pass through USD I know I'm screwed for a week or two :/
@@BlabberingCollector yeap and thats still the same rules in USD- SWIFT rules. I receive some payments via USD and it's a shit show, I hate it soo slow. If that company is out of Brazil - you have a few hops ie. additional transfers on the money/refund, plus weekend breaks and holidays - then it clears The timing sounds right.

Now this collector is living up to her name! 🤣👌
Damn that packaging was so awful i was getting pissed off too! 😅
Great, now im sad😢. Good cautionary video though. You deserve better!
Sorry you keep getting crap luck with these purchases, hopefully things get better. Great video Blabs.
@J.R.Cardenas wait until you see next week's video. Spoiler alert: Happy Blabs.
@@BlabberingCollector let’s go! That’s Awesome I’m glad something finally ended well for you. Your cool Blabs!
I'm sorry this happened to you, Blabs. Feels bad, man.

I hope you get a replacement! July9th is legit my birthday too.
I am sad that Blabs is sad :(
I used the money and got something else. Stay tuned!
@@BlabberingCollector Oooooh! Sweet! Cant wait to see what it is! XD!
So sorry about this.
Great video, What a disappointment, it looked like it was gonna be nice and it was all screwed up by bad shipping and handling.
I've seen some statues from this store and locally the price isn't much better...
poor Blabs 😢
Dang. That SUX. And I'm only on the shrink wrap part...
Wish you'd have opened the rest of him. I'd have liked to see if there was any flaws on the face portrait.
Sorry Blabs. Sounds like they were drawing interest on your refund.
@@edgarmcanderson6991 I agree
Great music, at the start!
Well done Blabs
From Brazil, huh? BLAME DAN VASC!!!
I’m sorry that happened to you, Blabs.
Awwwww poor blabs😢😢😢❤❤❤
You hate to see it. All signs pointed to brilliance and..... this happens.
What are your favorite sesame street characters
❤ Blabs ❤
Is it just me or is blabs super hot?
THOU SHALT NOT SIMP!
@@liquidsnakex well it’s the truth, no simping here.
i thought you said it was gifted did you get the money back or the person who sent it? but yeah this sucks im sorry i hate when stuff goes wrong from the box/packaging
I used the birthday money (as it was sent as cash on throne, not an actual order) to buy another statue: stay tuned for next week's video!

Must of been expensive to ship to Guam

Get em Blabs!

That's terrible!
So sorry Blabs, but haven't you learned anything from Dan Vasc? you can't trust anything from Brazil
Wow that is just ridiculous! Totally unacceptable on IS's part.
Well that sucks
Brazil you say? I blame Dan Vasc!
Dang it! I'm too late to make the joke... I feel HOOMILIATION!
"made in china" say no more
True, you hate to see it.
Personally I would not have an issue with the sticker on the bottle or below. Is the character itself in good shape?
Lol
That's whack. The item was two hundred dollars, this shouldn't be an issue. And yes, the potion bottles were damaged by the packaging so the visible part of the figure was also affected.
@@Albus_Rex I'm not saying it's cool that it happened but if the character looks great, that's the most important thing.
@@BlabberingCollector I mean it would be a drag to have to send it back and so forth. lol
Nerd
@@toohighstrung the best kind of people are.
@@BlabberingCollector Agreed
Your experience with Iron Studios needs to be studied, because having that much bad luck isn’t normal.

@davyddevans5153 it was shipped in California and the site was in USD. Check the link in the description.
