Invoices have been hammering my inbox lately, and I thought I'd at least have a month or two more to think about this one.
As I was mulling it over further today, I realized this would be a perfect piece to modify.
A full figure would probably be beyond my capabilities, but changing the base, down to at least incorporate the skirt and possibly the upper thighs, is something I feel like I should be able to pull off.
At the very least I would want to change it from the somewhat diamond composition the whole statue has now, to something with a wider base. Maybe even have some Paradise Island style flora surrounding the figure, like she's emerging from a bower, rather than just awkwardly bisected and stuck on a pedestal.
something along these lines-
Hopefully the Aves I've had chillin' in the fridge for a while now is still good.
When did you pre-order?

Well, I got an email from timealker saying they didn’t update their site and I wouldn’t be getting one. Side note, timewalker is an awesome place with great customer service.
Anyway, went to BBTS and BOOM, they had 1 left! And I got it! Can’t wait to add her to my Wonder Woman corner.

Congrats! And thanks for the Timewalker recommendation, I'll add them to my list of potential retail options.

Very happy to hear you were able to snag it after all!
With that kind of luck, you probably should have played the lottery yesterday, too.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Whelp, I hopped on the waitlist. But even if it converts (which I'm sure it will), I've got a bad feeling I'm just going to be getting someone else's defective return =(

Are you talking about the first one you got?
Were you able to check the replacement yet?
