That's pretty weak. Hopefully the right people will hear about it and resolve it.
I think it's cool that he wants one. It's basically an endorsement on the product from the man himself. |

Sideshow is full of SHIZZIT. Plain and simple.

How funny would it be if they just didn't want to give him one? XD

Know how I know this? Because you posted a declassified flyer which was meant for fun as a NEWS ITEM. No one would ever tell you anything because the VERY FIRST THING you would do is post it here. Probably incorrectly. |

I can see it both ways. I mean first and foremost if I was Sideshow I would just give it to him and hopefully drum up business with word of (Hama's)mouth.
Now on the flip side can you imagine everyone wanting something for free just because they created it? If I create a new design for Pepsi and they pay me and lets say Apple wants to promote it on one of their I-pods.... a Pepsi themed I-pod if you will........ am I entitled to that? Even if I don't have a contract stating I get a percentage of anyone that uses the logo let alone free product - am I entitled to that? From a third party no less! Again I want to stress that I (being Sideshow) would have just given him one as a way to promote my stuff. But the question is does Hama deserve one, no. Is it tacky for him to ask and post it on facebook, yes! Not to mention I am sure that Hama has been paid very generously for his work and if he didn't then he should have had a better deal at the time. Last edited by Rocky; 07-15-2009 at 08:11 PM.. |

If it's true, that's surprising to hear. Sideshow has always come off as a pretty top-notch company.

Sideshow makes some great products, but they are some tight asses when it comes to their products. I bought a Indiana Jones 12 inch and the holster pin was broke when I opened him. It took me two weeks of e-mails and $10 buck before they finally sent me a replacement. If they made me buy my own replacement part then it is no wonder they will not give Mr.Hama a Snake-eyes. To show how much of a fan I am of G.I. Joe I will put $10 in my cookie jar to buy one for him. Anyone else game. I bet it would mean more to come from some fans than Sideshow itself.

Cry me a river, if he didn't make enough in royalties.. like someone else said, bad contract.
I think it would have been nice of them to send him a figure, but they are in no way obligated to do it, I am sure everyone is struggling in the economy in some way. For him to whine about that on his facebook page is really REALLY lame. Comes off as a VERY VERY spoiled person.
