I seen a bunch of people say the basket is heavy..I’m going to try and use removable putty when putting mine together..
I’ve seen it on Art Statue Collector video..he uses this on his statue..see below, he has some good tips. Putty is that the 3:35 mark..
But entire video has some cool Statue cleaning and maintaining advice.

Oh, cool idea, I might try that!

That reminds me of another workaround I used once to fix a lean...I got a super old-school Gen13 Fairchild statue, and the foot peg/blocks didn't sit firmly at all in the base (I think it was just early days for statues when it was made, and they weren't engineered very well), causing the lean. The official instructions said to superglue it in.

Instead, I filled in the gaps with polymer clay, like Sculpey; a bit of the clay ended up being visible, but since they make it in a huge variety of colors for artists, I was able to match the color of the base exactly and it isn't noticeable at all unless you look close.

(Also since the clay isn't baked or anything it should be removable, though I haven't tried yet...)

Just ordered the putty from Amazon. Thanks for posting the video!

The lean: I didn't read about this too carefully, so I'm not sure which direction the possible lean would be in? I will say, the basket is HEAVY (those magnets have their work cut out for them), and attaching it does seem to make her lean that way a little bit (maybe the design compensates for that?) Seems like it would have been nice if they had figured out a way to make the basket hollow or something, but I don't if that would actually be feasible...



The first thing that struck me when opening the box was seeing the snow on the base and being like "Uh...that is GRAY." But, it does look consistent with the official unboxing video. Plus, when everything is assembled and you're seeing it against the branches and her boots, it looks more whitish with the contrast.

But yeah, all the 'white' parts, including her panties, are a bit gray for my taste...but all consistent with each other, and with the official video (so I doubt I'd have any luck with a replacement on that basis), but again, it doesn't look bad once assembled.



I got lucky and mine doesn't have that issue, so, here's hoping you can get it resolved!

I wonder if the gray tones were suppose to represent nighttime so the whites would not be so bright.

I absolutely love the piece but yeah, that basket is HEAVY!

I sent my statue back to Sideshow and they sent me a replacement which is looking perfect with both feet touching the base. So kudos to Sideshow (specially the support team) for getting it right.

Congrats! Yeah, I had a piece once that arrived defective and they replaced it no problem...they do seem very reliable about that!

Ok mine is paid off, now to wait for the shipping info…can’t wait.

This was just on Sideshow Seconds. Lasted about a minute.

Good thing it only lasted for a minute cause I wouldn't be able to take advantage of it anyway.
