I am sure they just had extras made in case there were issues. For the price, people that purchased this piece shouldn't have to put up with any.

Gotten her today finally !!! Number 50/100. Had to pay around $250 of customs fees, god d**** My hands were shaking when I opened her and placed her on her base, dang she's quite heavy, was sweating big time getting the screws in on this expensive piece then I checked her... and I have issues with mine D: black stain spots and scratches on legs, arms and I found one on her stomach aswell (not so visible), some light grey stain on her chest. Rough work around the goggles, glue overload in areas and rough work of her tattoo on the arm, the decall not well done and the biggest one, I cannot seem to fit her hand in, its leaving a gap of around 3 milimeters. Ah yes and the base has quite some damage aswell, big ass scratch. I already sent an email to GG asking for a replacement. Hope it'll have a positive reply.

I want to get some clear little bumpers to put On the base for this piece as well as my sucker punch statues. I like the clear base but GG should really include some bumpers for the base so the bottom doesn't get scratched. Anyone know where I can get something like this?

That's what I did. Worked like a charm.

Bro,

You can go to any Ace, Home Depot and so on and get the clear silicone self adhesive pads or bumpers. They look like the pic I provided.

I bought them at Fred Meyers, a local chain here in the NW. You should be able to find them at any hardware store though as they're pretty common. I believe 3M makes them and their primary use is as a bumper for glass doors on cabinets.
