Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Is the hand that rests on the base pegged to the base...or does it just sit atop it?

Both hands/arms are attached by magnets.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I can turn it left and right, as there appears to be no exact position.
They should have used a square peg design.
I agree!

Your photos are making me really excited to get this piece.

The hand just rests on the base but as mentioned the arm is pretty securely held in place with a magnet.

Received my Catwoman today.
Very sharp piece. I really like it.
I wish the base was a couple inches shorter.
It took me a while to find a cabinet she fit in.

Mine has quite a few paint issues. A paint gash on the back of her thigh, there is a drip on her heel and some rough spots from casting.

She is also a dust and lint magnet.
I had the hardest time getting lint and Styrofoam off of her.

So, I am just waiting to hear about a replacement. I really hope the retailer or sideshow can just replace the body. The base, hands, portrait are all good.

I feel sorry for dealers selling statue through Ebay. ALL statues have blemishes and imperfections on them. I'm sure it's a nightmare selling them and getting that email that there is a paint drip, chip base, scratch etc. I wouldn't want to sell these.

I asked the retailer I went through if he wanted me to contact Sideshow for a replacement. Just waiting to hear back from him. I sent him a bunch of photos. I would assume Sideshow would be able to replace the part if I provide my edition number and receipt?
