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

Hi guys how are you all straightening the peg key with a piler? I tried to bend the key - it is very rigid and does not bend at all. I think if i try to apply anymore force it will just break the leg off.

Can someone tell me how you are able to bend the peg key? Mine simply doesn't bend!

I am using a standard piler like below, what am i missing here?

Thanks

I had no issue either using normal plier. Support his foot and gently apply force. What you’re looking for is just enough bend to fit in YOUR statues hole everyone is different

There's also tiny little brown spots on his boots How'd those get there?

Why couldn't I get a pristine one
The spots on the boots is normal. I think thats Sentinel oil/grease or something

Yeah the spots were on the sentinel hand as well on the ones I received, like hydraulic fluid. I thought those were a nice touch.

Saw the CE at my local comic shop over the weekend. Pretty impressive. Almost made me want to order one.

Wow got mine today. Think is a 10/10 easily. Also had no peg issues at all, just put the front foot on the finger and the back peg slid right in with very little push. I thought i'd display him with the mask but the ex head is so well done. The paint app is probably the best I've seen on an SS face to date. The texture on the suit really adds another level and the paint is perfect. The little touches add a lot like the hydraulic fluid all over his boots to the dirty kneepads. Worth every penny!

Best Wolvie to date. Please SS, now that you're redoing a lot of X-men give us a new Sabretooth.

Quick and dirty Iphone 8 Plus pics. Also those little white speckles as you guys already know are Styrofoam dust. Gotta blow those off.
