The Little Mermaid Statue – J. Scott Campbell Fairytale Fantasies Collection

Mine arrived perfect.
Well,she has a slight wobble.
And my water doesn't have the hint of sand showing like the prototype had.
But she is a beaut. Great paint, clean cast. I really love it.

Are you sure it’s all good? In your pic her right wrist doesn’t look flush where the bracelets meet the hand. Maybe that is causing the wobble?

Paint looks on point though! Perfect amount and coloring of the freckles

Same issue as Wolf3D mentioned where if I install it arms first the rest of the statue is about ¼ inch off the hole in the base and will not fit at all. If I install the body first then the arms don't reach the hands.

The wobble is so slight.
Not matter what way it goes, I think it still overlaps the wrist enough. When I look at her on display in my cabinet, it looks fine.

Yeah I see that too. It's more noticeable in the left wrist. Same issue many of us are having. Magnets are not making contact causing it to wobble. For some installing it arms first fixes it but for others like myself it's too far out of tollerance and just doesn't fit at all.

Hahaha, I love that label.
I have an order in through a retailer for the store variant. I just haven't heard from them yet. If she is in or not. That is ok though, I need a break. One statue this week is enough.

Argh, it’s so frustrating to read this description, as it’s exactly what I first encountered when trying to assemble mine, but now I’m having difficulty remembering exactly how I positioned the piece to resolve the issue... I wish I could help.

Thanks for the unboxing review quite enjoyed watching it

I'd like to mention that at 7:11 when you place the mermaid body onto the base you're using one hand and you put it straight down and it locates all three spots at once, mine will No Way do that, you can either put the base on and the hands misaligned or you can have the hands on and the base is misaligned
