they did rework the head with the top hat so you can see more of the face unlike in the proto pics so that was a good surprise

Yes. But, I won't be able to use that portrait if I'm unable to get a good book arm. It would look stupid for her to be wearing a top hat and also holding a top hat at the same time

Got word from Spec that they're going to reach out to XM to see if they can get a replacement, so fingers crossed.

Nope, we didn't discuss that yet. I'm just hoping since it's a newer piece that they have a replacement. I know there's been a bunch of these resin birds that have been broken off the book.

First hurdle is hoping they have a replacement. Second hurdle is, if they do have a replacement, it doesn't come broken as well. This is why I don't like energy effects on statues. It's always made of this very fragile material that is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to fix if it breaks.

Yep...the replacement part would have to be packed very well since it will have to be custom cut....otherwise could end up broke too

Nah, not yet. They said it could take up to a month to hear back.
