That I can see. If it is just a joint peg that let's go. But mine are all paint and cast issues. I am not going to pay hundreds of dollars to repaint it.

I am still waiting to hear back from Sideshow.
How long does it usually take them to respond to their replacement forms?
I haven't done it in a while, usually I just return pieces.

Within a week to hear back.

I have to agree on this one. I would think there would just be WAY too much headache involved in selling these, especially given how picky a lot of statue collectors are. Selling things like Kotobukia Bishoujo's are one thing, but high end statues like these, no thanks! Although Sideshow quality control has improved markedly over the last 12-16 months so its likely there are far less returns or damaged statues beig reported than there were 12-16 months ago. Still, this is one line of products I would stay away from as a retailer. There is a CRAPLOAD of other comic related merchandise one can sell without having to get into the high end market.

I returned mine due to significant paint issues and was sent a replacement.

The replacement had even worse issues beyond paint and SS issued a 100% refund.

I was glad that SS was so good to deal with and didn't give me any hassle. (Pics told the story pretty well) but I was a bit sad to have to give up on this piece as it really looks nice next to batman.

I've just spotted a paint fault on mine. The leg that points forward (Cat Womans left leg), the upper part / front area is silk rather than glossy black like the rest of the statue.

Sideshow did a stand up job with my return.
I sent the first back for a replacement, the replacement was worse...not not picky stuff, really bad stuff.
They gave me a full refund.

Im sad this is not in my collection, if the likeness was better, I would have tried a 3rd time, but the weak portrait made it easier to give up.

Kudos to SS customer service.

SS CS are good. SideShow sent me a new head with better eyes.

Now SideShow are sending a new body as mine had a matte finished complete with groves/lines on the upper leg area.
I hope they checked it before shipping. If all is ok, I can use the arms from the first CatWoman.

Having read the SS email, i got the impression they were sending a new base, and i would have to destroy my original base. This makes no sense, as my original base is fine. I'll wait and see.

Saw this in person tonight at my LCS. They had her for sale for $399.

She definitely looks better in person than in pics. Very sexy statue. However, the head is super wobbly and made me pretty nervous. I ended up passing, but may pick her up some day.

Mine came with the right hand not sitting on the concrete brick n have tried real hard to push it in the foot peg,almost sit flush but still the right hand has about 5-10mm before the hand peg sits on the groove. Very disappointed
