I think GG posted a video to show how to attach the base. It was tough, but I managed to attach mine using a bit of pressure...

Finally I received Rocket today and like Rhye allready said she is amazing.
I have no problem, all the screws are in the base right now.
You must not tighten the screws to much.

I had the same problem but what I did was screw one foot very loose and then pushed the other foot so that it lined up with hole and started screwing that one in but also left it loose. Then what I did was turn them half a turn each until I had them both in. I hope this makes sense. Good luck.

This is what I did with both Sweet Pea and Rocket. Worked great.

Hey, thanks guys for all the help !! Really appreciated them. I watched the vid and tried for both statues but its like impossible to get both screws in. When I find somebody who has the right tools I'll ask to redrill the holes. Again thanks for the help !!

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

WOW!!!!! the amount of details in her is insane... Probably the most detailed in the sucker punch line. the lace on her boots and the zipper behind it, the fishnets.. simply phenomenal... Congrats on your amazing statue.
