Agreed about handling with care - she's not cheap.

Good points… I think I probably won’t mess with the hair too much!

Do you or anyone else have tips on when removing the statue from the base?

I was trying to take take mine off the base just before and I couldn’t pull it up, as the pin seemed to be stubbornly stuck within the pin hole on the base. I was starting to apply some force but it wasn’t moving and I didn’t want to force and break it….
Is there anything I can do or should be doing? I hadn’t taken it out of the base since I assembled it when I got it, so maybe it’s settled in too well but I would have thought it should come out easily?

Absolute TRUTH.

Got mine in yesterday and was blown away.
Love this piece and it makes me even more excited for
Harley Quinn (hopefully next year)... JND killed it with this one.

I will say, I don't understand what the guy who Batman Statue Collector
had on his channel was talking about. The piece has a pretty decent heft to it
once assembled. I don't feel like it is lacking in quality at all, to be honest.

I thinh that if you *HAVE* to remove her, it should be a 2 person job. One person can hold the torso and slowly lift while the other holds the legs.
I haven't tried this and it's in no way an endorsement, so proceed at your own risk!
