SUPERMAN VS DARKSEID 2ND EDITION OWNERS...ADVICE WATER INSIDE

Hey

I got my superman vs darkseid 2nd edition and love it..the paints are amazing.

He comes in 3 parts
sm
ds
base

Sm goes into ds...however very tight where some paint will rub off but not seen when it goes in

OK...PLEASE READ THIS
Ds is feels very lite and seams halfway hollow.. i shook him and i here a water solution noise in him...strangest thing ever...im thinking they did this to weight him down to cut cost of him solid.

Can please some one shake theres...let me know

Will post pics later

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

This happened to me with a Sideshow statue before. The base had water in it. The plastic bag around the base was even wet when it arrived (I'm guessing the water got in/out through the hole for the statue's foot peg). I don't think it was done intentionally to weigh down the statue. I ended up getting Sideshow to replace it.

just spit-balling but could the resin have not settled and left water in it somehow? I have never heard of this.

could you, and if you aren't confident don't do it of course, maybe drill a hole and drain it?
