I don’t think it was or I was that dramatic in my initial post. When it comes down to it, we all give our time in exchange for money, and we buy what we want with it (hopefully after we buy what we need). No one is doing us a favor and giving us the privilege or permission to be able to buy from these companies. They’re a luxury and care should be taken to make the best product, period.

Although, at time end of day some imperfections are to be expected. I understand real people working long hours and making (assumingely) little money are producing these statues. To each their own, but even if it were just an hour’s worth, I value my time more than to turn a blind eye to poor work. SSC apparently does too, since one option is a deeper discount.

That said I really like the statue overall. more so each time I look at it. So I’ll be pursuing a replacement with my fingers crossed.

How common is the issue with peg not going all the way in? I?ve seen several people with that problem.

I opened mine today and the peg sticks out quite a bit. Sent an email to sideshow to request a replacement.

My Power Girl leg fails to fit in 100%. It is only noticeable from some angles.
The main thing is, the piece appears be held in ok, even if the peg does not insert 100%

Yeah same here, mine is not at a 100% there either, but close enough.
I have a hard time seeing it effect the stability in the slightest

Mine is almost all the way in...it took some effort. I highly doubt I will ever get it apart again however.

Mine was sure snug to fit in there so I agree do wonder how easy to get unstuck being such a tight key.

I think mine sticks out quite a bit, so I’ll wait for Sideshow to respond my request for a replacement

Yours is about the same as mine.

It was tricky to get in for sure. My original Capt Marvel (Carol) piece was hard to get in the ship base. That thing will never come apart.

Mine doesn't insert a 100% either. It's about 90% from what I can tell. I was thinking I would make it fit better in the near future. I think it just needs a tiny bit of tweaking.
