Don't remember seeing it, I'll have to look through the box again... works either way since the slot for it is hidden behind the helmet of the seahorse.

Just be extremely gentle with the stirrups because they do seem rather fragile..
Nope, no matter which way I try them, with his feet in the stirrups he gets lifted slightly off the seahorse making him a little wobbly.

Try lifting him up and forward a bit and then put the stirrups on while you hold him in that position... but yeah those stirrups are a really tight fit... could use the hair dryer on his legs/feet and stirrups for like 30 secs, might make things go together easier...

Funny thing is, after telling you about it, I put mine together and put it in the display case, put the box away in the rafters of my garage, came back down and looked at mine proudly on display and realized I forgot to put that piece on too!!! ARGH!!! Back up the ladder to the rafters to go get it!

Got this Aquaman and I am simply blown away. I love the colors. I love the Seahorse Armor. I love how the GOLD pops on Aquaman. XM has given us a killer paint job on this one. Can't stop looking at this one.

Just picked up this statue... love it! I only have one issue with setup: the line of fish will not stay on the base. It is too loose. I really do not want to glue it for obvious reasons. Any suggestions?

Maybe earthquake putty? That should hold it without being a permanent seal like Gorilla Glue.

FYI... Shane from Secret Compass suggested I try placing a small piece of tissue around the part before inserting it. Worked great, so there is a tip if anyone runs into a similar problem.
