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

the front of the helmet is difficult to photo but it's very obvious under lighting, basically it was a chip, and the factory tried to cover it up, but instead of doing it properly by sanding it first then airbrush it, they just paint brushed some similar blue color on it, you can see the brushstrokes. Back of helmet is clearer to show, the red paint either bubbled up or it was scraped off somehow with some kind of white paint mixed in.

i hope jerry smack whoever did this over there in the factory, instead of displaying this in my cabinet for holiday to enjoy, now have to deal with all this.

both of the ex corpse's foot are also chipped, but i couldnt find the chipped off parts in the box, was just going to glue it back if i could find it instead of dealing with sideshow.

My EX has a broken link on his chest next to the Dredd badge and i can not find the broken bit in my box as well, but because it is on his chest it is so noticeable.

I am stoked about the low # though....pretty cool.
You'd better open it now. If there's something wrong inside you can e-mail the return department right away. The ES is so low for this piece replacements will run out very fast.

Already wrapped, my friends....I will just have to trust that JD will be alright. I'll post pics once he's seen air.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your Dredd Statues, got mine here in Ireland and no damage thankfully. This is one epic statue.
