Pretty sure they sent me somebody else?s return. Can?t F?in believe it.
First clue: Box arrives with green packing tape covered by clear packing tape. Upon opening it, there is another layer of clear tape under the green. There is no indication it was opened for inspection prior to shipping it to me. Also the cardboard piece that sits right inside the box was inside the plastic bag, not on top of it to protect the bag.
Second clue: When lifting the box I can feel something shifting. Nothing has ever shifted when I get a fresh statue unless it?s broken.
Third clue: The art box is dented, warped, and not flush like a newly packaged/unopened before.
Fourth clue: Styrofoam is taped across the foam, not just around.
However, I hold out some hope. I put the statue together and it fits flush in the base. Her body and portrait are beautifully painted. I thought ?OMG this may be the one!?...then I grabbed the cape and one of the pauldrons is laying in the foam.
?.back to customer service I go?at least all they have to do is send a cape this time.
Bonus is that maybe I can keep the one I have and play around with attachment modification.
