be careful with that fix. super glue is the only glue I know that can "permanently" attach fabric to resin but I am certain it will soak through the fabric and make a hard and discolored spot on the fabric. next glue i can think of is glue gun glue but that is thick and could leave a bulge in the area being glued...and i do not trust the strength of that kind of glue for that job.

I'm beginning to think i might make sense to leave it as is. No glue.
From what i can tell, the front was stitched together on while it was on the piece. A replacement top would be difficult to attach.

Got my Chun li in,no issues besides webbed fingers and unraveled hair ties...oh and the fact that I didn't get the AP I won. SS and PCS can kiss my A$$. After I get Sagat I'm done with PCS.

it's a lot!! Is it not correct to declare original sculptures?

In Spain gives them the same as the 9703.If the statue has human form 21%VAT+ 4.5% custom duty+ than they want to charge us for the package kidnapped.

In Italy the code won't work. They'll apply the 22% VAT regardless.
Afterall, these are clearly not 'original' sculptures..

Oh, and with DHL shipping gets taxed too, and some extra fees are applied.
I ended up paying almost 500€ of custom fees for Goro 1/3

Hi kagero, thanks. I had really a bad experience with DHL too, about the Oni Akuma, i will avoid this courier when possible.
About the description, Sideshow declare the code 9703 and orignal collector's sculptures and statuary, Fedex want more information for the custom clearance, like the content and the vat (22% or 10%), what would happene if you declare original sculptures with a 10% vat?
