A heat gun is an essential tool for statue ownership imo. The guy in the vid used that because it's what most people have, not because it is the best tool for the job. Guns put out heat without the extra air flow, have attachments to get where a dryer can't, plus almost no noise. They aren't even that expensive, mine cost less than my salon style hair dryer.

Well I spent I think 1.5 hours unpacking, taking pictures (200+) and then repackaging .

The issues :

1) The Treebeard eye popping out.
2) Base is wobbly
3) There is a blob of glue on bottom between trunks. I think its glue or polystone not painted.
4) Merry has a area of darker shade of green on his cape like a line.
5) There are a few shiny spots not sure if excess paint or like shine from glue.


Did anyone else notice glue on the bottom between the trunks. Ugh so frustrating

Would you PM me photos of your issues? I'm unboxing mine this weekend and would like to compare.
