the body is made in two pieces then glued together in the waist, it came to me in two parts, the section that was glued into the bottom half was cracked, but the seam is hidden, some glue and it is probably stronger than it was before, it is hollow (but still heavy) but at that cracked part it was pretty thinly casted, I assume more are going to be like this, but really was an easy fix, anyone with strong glue can make the fix.

The paint looks great! Congratulations guys!

Did you decide to keep this one, Scott?

Sorry to hear about the damage, Spazz but I'm glad it's easily fixable

Sorry bro. I wouldn't have felt comfortable selling them to you for the prices I sold those for. I needed top dollar for them to pay for a new roof and a few other pending expenses. It wasn't something I wanted to do but sacrifices had to be made and at the end of the day, as much as I liked the girls, they weren't what I felt imperative to my collection. They were just 5 of many things I decided to let go of.

The profit was indeed nice seeing as how I bought all at or below retail. And no I'm not quitting but I've cut back significantly over the past couple years. Not a lot has been coming out that interests me and the QC issues with Sideshow product has kept me from spending to much with them.

I didn't know (or remember) that this was limited to only 150. If they made an exclusive with a small Baby Doll to go on the gun, I would have picked this up.

What?!

I still think another company can top the Gentle Giant pieces for action poses anyway.

You are a good man, brother. I'm glad you sold them at a good profit. For you, I would've been happy to match it any day of the week but now wouldn't have been a good time for me anyway, so it's all good.

I really admire your objectivity towards your statues though. Something I wish I could have, but I'm getting there. I just need a bit more seasoning

So how's the roof?
