Yeah I figuring out what downgrades would still be acceptable is the buyer's challenge. For $2,600 off center eyes will NOT cut it on this.
That is why I indicate the Chinese Factories all the time around here.
There's just a huge disconnect between these statue design houses and the assembly line that is extremely difficult to overcome no matter the management.
Deceit and deception are ingrained in China's business culture. For statue factories, bait and switch, cut corners, take what you get is standard operation. Even breakage claims don't bother them because they KNOW the American will be back or just replaced by a different company and they will recoup any expenses.
The description does not specify anything about the eyes. I have little faith factory paint could reproduce those eyes. They'd need to be glass/acrylic.
