Glad to read that she is everything you all hoped!! Can’t wait to see her in collections because I bd it’s an eye catcher of a statue.

I ask because my right wing also didn't want to go in right away. It was like 85% in. It's in the low 30s here and had been on the UPS truck all day (delivered around 4:45 pm). After she sat displayed for some hours in my house (around 70 degrees inside), I tried again and the rest of the wing pushed in.

It's in the mid to high 40's, maybe even 50, but 70-72 in my house. I unpacked her right away due to excitement. That's reassuring though that it slid all the way in, I'm hoping for the same.
No chips on the tips of any feathers on your wings?

Nope, wings are perfect. You could see if Spec can contact XM and get you a replacement wing.

No heat from a hair dryer. This will only bend the resin
Usually it is enough to sand the paint off the peg with sandpaper. You can also see if something is stuck in the hole and blow it out.

Eh, not even worth it as it's not really noticeable. I could always fix it with putty if it ever really bothers me anough.

I honestly think it's just the paint on the pegs that need sanded down, but I'll worry about that when I can put her on display, as she's boxed up for the time being.

Time to post some pics! I wish I had better lighting, but the weather was just gray and rainy, so that wouldn't help in the natural light department.
