I don’t mind if they have to resort to revisits if it’ll help get lesser known characters done.
That's exactly my point. I have no issue with TH making bread and butter characters so long as they sprinkle in a few of the outliers I want.

But I am a realist, and know it won't be more than a sprinkling.

Be careful when putting the foot peg in, I wiggled mine ever so slightly and the resin cracked a little bit. You'd never notice unless you were looking for it or have the figure removed, but be cautious.
Thank you for the warning

Is it the right foot peg or left foot peg (I am assuming both feet have pegs)

Only the right foot has a peg.

Thanks SDguy. Maybe I will let the statue get to room temperature for a day before setting it up since it has been in UPS's possession (and most likely in a cold truck or warehouse) for the past week.

Mine had been sitting in my warm living room for over a day, so don't think it's the temperature. Still not a bad idea.

Foot has a peg extending from a decent sized key. I wiggled the key when it was about halfway down, instant crack on the thinner part on the front.

Zero issues for display, more for disassembly/reassembly or maybe re-sale (not any time soon).

And the setup. I had a place for the Catwoman PF, but it's been pushed to summer. TH Harley is still on the way, but I'll probably slide her down with the other 1/6 and move the 1/10 Batgirl and Catwoman to a different 1/10 shelf. Experimented with a random LED strip, runs the full circumference of the shelving unit and adds so so much. It will definitely work until I have a more permanent residence and custom becomes an option.

Nice setup. Thanks for the info...is it a tight fit or you just felt like wiggling?

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I had the orientation 100% right before pressing it all the way down. It fit well, disregarding the crack.

I was pleasantly surprised how easily yet securely everything fit together.

Put mine together this morning. Went together completely without an issue. I did find that the ammo belt goes together a lot easier if you take the ring hand off and then insert the belt there first. Then put the hand and the ammo belt base portion on at the same time.
