Finally bit the dust. The cracks in the red X appeared a few months in after getting here. Too late for a replacement base, but I did get a $40 partial refund from SS.
Now the black on the base has cracked and even worse, there goes her legs. it's all cracked from the thigh up to the crotch. I guess the really hot summer in SoCal this year took its toll. She was on top a Ikea Billy bookshelf against an interior wall away from a window. On the second floor, so it probably got warm, but no hotter than 100 degrees F.
I don't have time right now for a complete strip down and repaint. This will have to wait until I finish graduate school in a year.
Any of you customizers know of a safe paint stripper to use? Or maybe I'll have to buy a cheap sandblaster.
