Hoping for a new Supergirl PF soon. Hopefully a classic take.

Finally got to unbox mine Yesterday. My weekend was overbooked. She looks amazing. I didn't realize she was taller than the OG Supergirl PF. My shelving is spaced height wise to allow SG to fit there but now I will need to adjust shelving to get the new PG to fit. I have her in a temporary location until I can get around to moving a lot of things. I'll take some pics soon.

BTW, I had a really tough time getting the peg into her base. I'm not sure it will ever come out again like nearmint said about his. It scraped a lot of the blue paint off of the square peg getting it in. I'm wondering if they did any trial fittings on these before shipping them.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard recently that pieces are fitted before they're painted, and sometimes it's the paint that causes the pieces not to fit well.

That makes sense why a lot of the paint came off of the square peg holder on her leg.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but I haven't heard one person who's received it say "fit like a glove!"

Not sure a heat gun would do much. Looks like the paint is making the peg a little too large to fit into the hole. I had to use more pressure than normal to get it in and it stripped paint off the peg. No damage to the statue though.

I would just be careful.

Just paid the import charge.
Might see Power Girl on Wednesday
So long as the eyes look good I’m none too bothered if the paint chips off the peg.
