I have 8 XM statues sitting in shipper boxes. Some never opened. I should post a pic of stacked boxes. To show what a looser I am.... sniff. Process of designing a display office/room

Haha that’s actually awesome, you’re gonna have a great time opening them when the display area is perfect. I’ve had statues wait for weeks before opening because the display area was still being completed

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Now taking time to inspect the rest of the peice:
Black paint dot on the nose of one portrait
Odd splotches on both tail pieces but one tail in particular is quite bad
Scratches on one of the arm gauntlets
Paint defect on the post of the lamp
I say unending but that seems to be all so far. Just seems like a lot given have 7 XM pieces now and all have been flawless. Most devistating is this guy is incredible. The detail is insane as is the colour. 1st world problems I know but the disappointment we both feel is huge!

Mine initially did the same thing with the right foot peg not fitting in because I was trying to put the left foot in first. Mine looked just like yours with regards to the right peg being so far away from the hole. After I lifted the statue up again and tilted him a little differently, I tried to line it up so the right foot peg went in first, it slide into place for me and then the left foot went into the base as well.

We tried that also but all that happened was both pegs going in about a third of the way and jamming the body in place due to the angles of the legs being so far off from the angles of the holes and subsequently the legs wanted to pull apart.
We were at it trying every possible way to make it fit for quite a while.

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