I cannot believe it! The buyer informed me that it still arrived broken! ARGH....what a pain...now I got to deal with insurance....sigh.

Here are some early pictures. Waiting for better pictures from the buyer.

That sucks but not surprising judging by how flimsy it looks. Why didn't Jerry make the pony tail a separate insert and use ABS or something? That's what one of my statues from Square Enix does.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I don't understand how any of these Vega's survived the trip from China. This has to be the most fragile statue there is.

I am not shocked that this happened to be honest.

A Vega is for life, not just for christmas.

Sure that is due to shipping? Looks like it fell down.
I once had a buyer that wanted to exchange his heads on my expense. As long as you trust the buyer all is ok, but honestly this does not look like a break during shipping, especially when I see how good you packed it. Never saw a that good packaging!

Like I said I had an EX one packed similar I was sure he would be mint and both heads were broken in exactly the same spot as this one during shipping. the hair is just so fragile!

Never a truer word was spoken! If you have one of these heads mint then keep it as they are getting rarer and rarer. This is a perfect example even with some of the best packaging I ever saw the thing still breaks!!

Now that it is broken I will buy it for $200. Deal
All jokes aside, it is a shame all the effort you put into packing and it still breaking.

unfortunately this happens quite often, which is why I mark all my statues I sell.
