I've done a cursory examination. Unfortunately there is some damage. I haven't unwrapped/checked the whole piece yet - but already:
- There are at least 5 spines broken on the right shoulder
- 1 spine broken off the left cheek
- 1 spine broken off the right cheek
Only 1 of these small spines is in the box, which mean it was damaged at the manufacturers - that's bad quality control.
I've emailed BBTS to say if I find no further damage then can Cinemaquette send some replacement spines - that's got to be easier than shipping it back for a replacement.
Of course - if I find FURTHER damage that could change things!
