Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssss!!!! She looks so great. I, too, have always wanted a statue of her from that cover. It looks like I just might get mine today. So stoked!

Can’t wait, mines out for delivery today. One of my most anticipated statues in a long time.

You guys will be blown away. I suspect you'll have a statuegasm too.

Be careful when unpacking and inserting the wings.

Well #241 in the house! What a BEAUTY!!!! I'll post some pics when I get a chance, but man, probably one of my fav statues right now. Couple issues though:


1. I had a small chip on one of the tips of the feathers, I didn't even notice it until I was really messing with the wings. Couldn't find the tip, but it's really not noticeable.



2. I couldn't seem to get the wings ALL of the way in. The fit is so tight I was afraid of breaking them. The left wing went almost all of the way in, but the right wing still had some to go. Did anyone else experience that kind of issue? They're kinda heavy, so I'd hate for them to fall off and break.


Overall, 10/10, would recommend.

Have you tried using some heat from a hair dryer? It might loosen things up and help the wing go in easier.

Nah I hadn't tried that, maybe I will when I put her on display, as right now she's boxed back up. Did your wings go all of the way in?

How cold is where you are? And how long before getting the box did you unpack her?

I ask because my right wing also didn't want to go in right away. It was like 85% in. It's in the low 30s here and had been on the UPS truck all day (delivered around 4:45 pm). After she sat displayed for some hours in my house (around 70 degrees inside), I tried again and the rest of the wing pushed in.

#309 in the house…unfortunately for me like Davidian I boxed her back up..nothing of mine is on display as of right now..will be moving within the year so really would rather they stay safe..

So jealous of those that do have her displayed..I opened her up and saw that face on the top layer, I was blown away..Amazing ,perfection is all that comes to mind. And I can’t believe I wasn’t bothered with the gems. I can’t wait to finally move and display her and the rest of my stuff, she will easily be a highlight.
