With Psylocke i tried the usual method and placed the base on the ground so that i could push down on the foot using lots of force. It failed. On attempting to separate the statue from the base, no amount of force worked. I didn't want to break the foot off. I can wiggle the peg back and forth slighting. Maybe i'll have another crack later.
That was my first concern with trying to force her into the base. I was worried I wouldn't be able to separate the two when the time came. Shame we're having issues with the fit. Best of luck getting her back out safely.

You just made me spit up my red, white, and blue latte. Nah, I am about 140 miles south of you in Merica'.

I just seem to have fallen into a 'processing' black hole. Actually this happened to me once before, and the statue showed up before I got tracking info.

Pretty sure I have UPS selected on my account.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

Well they confirmed to me that it’s in-stock and ready to shop. Still not sure why it’s getting held up.

Ok.....my replacement head arrived....it has more defects than my first. My Psylocke is in storage so i was not able to do a side by side comparison for eye wonkiness...maybe tomorrow. But the replacement has more defects anyway so the eye is not really a concern anymore.

That has been my experience with SS. The replacement parts are never as good as the originals. My replacement Iron Man MKIII had so many issues, I sent it back for a refund. But I have seen the paint be worse on small replacement pieces too.

Is this piece normal? It looks segmented to me but I'm wondering if it is the same for everyone else.
