Very nice! That's the one I'm waiting for.

I asked the Sideshow rep if I'm liable for damaging the statue if it breaks.

Here's the response:

"That said, as this is a specific set of instructions we are providing you as assistance, if you should damage your item in following these instructions, we will of course honor providing you a replacement statue." --Sideshow rep

I took his advice to heart. I followed his instructions as closely as possible and the left arm snapped. Though it fits now...

Rip statue 0082/2000. Here's hoping there's a statue afterlife with mermaid adventures.

Hoping Sideshow honors the replacement.

Dude I was joking, you weren't suppose to do that...

At least they'll send you a new one, I will give credit to SS for replacing stuff.... long as it's less then 30 days that is... after 30 days it can be a hassle sometimes..

Seriously though, that's a tough break, but at least Sideshow was willing to send you a replacement.

Hope you get your new Little Mermaid soon flico.

That's why you should have heated the arms before applying pressure on them...

I keep my fingers crossed for your fast replacement.

Bummed out, mine had a ton of faults in it. Statue didn't fit the base at her hands, freckles were all over the place on her face, only half had the freckle treatment and it was severly overdone. Come onto the forums and lo and behold, i'm not the only one.

My aspen had a much more favorable fate. Funny how a much more complex statue like aspen didn't suffer from qc issues but this does.

Waiting for a reply from sideshow now.

Got the standard sideshow reply:

1. Insert the wrists first. When placing your mermaid on her base, do so with the wrists resting on top of the hands. Using both your hands, gently grab her wrists at the bracelets between your fingers, line up the proper positioning, and then push the wrists down to meet the hand magnets until any gaps disappear. You may need to, very gently, spread apart or constrict together the arms to get a perfect fit.

2. Press down on the tail. Once the hand/wrist position is to your liking, you will need to make sure her legs… er… fin is also properly inserted into the base. To do this, gently press down on her posterior and she should snap into place. Note, this may cause the wrists to raise slightly off the hands, but you should be able wiggle her body slightly from side to side while pushing down to fix this. If you need to, gently grab her wrists again (per step one) and push down until they are back in the correct placement.
