Coin Rant

I got my Nobel Collection Harvey Dent/Two-Face THE DARK KNIGHT replica coins today. What an absolute rip-off. I can't believe I'm actually going to return a Harvey Dent product

See the photo on their site? The clean coin, tarnished and made to look old and well-worn? The burned coin, looking like a coin would after having been through an explosion? Totally awesome, right? Well, in actuality, the former is blandly pristine without a touch of detail, while the latter is just the exact same coin painted black. Black enamel, I think, like it just got soot smeared on it.

And insult to injury, the word "COPY" has been printed on the back of both coins. Y'know, just in case they tried to pass it off as a real two-headed coin. Fuck you. For a third of the cost, the replica coins made by this company are far superior.

I always suspected those Nobel Collection movie props were huge fucking rip-offs. Now I know for sure, and will never support any of their shitty, overpriced "collector" movie items. But then again, anybody who'd blow $200 for a DA VINCI CODE Cryptex deserves whatever they get.

Dude. Lame. I've heard some bad things about the Nobel Collection, but never this bad. I'm sorry they suck out loud.

Granted, I am a bit biased on this one front, but what utter and complete fucktardery.

That's ... disturbing and wrong. The only thing I've really wanted to purchase from them is the Lucius Malfoy pimpcane, and a friend of mine who has one says it's quite nice. I can't understand how they'd mess up TDK merchandise that much, considering the hype and excitement surrounding the movie. :\
