My wife got this for me a a birthday gift.
She ordered early June, my b day was 2 weeks ago, her final charge (shipping) was yesterday and should ship today.

She was like "I ordered over a month ago hoping it would be here for your birthday!"
hahahahaha, I said....you know I wait 2-3 years on almost every statue I buy!!!!


Anyway, what a great gift, I picked a winner.

Now as long as they don't ship me thecollertor80's return, I am all set

Mine has no signs of a return and packed really well from.the factory but has the usual defects reported by other guys here

The neck gap can be fixed with a wad of toilet paper wedged between the hair and neck to tilt the head forward

Might just return this for a refund....not worth my time going back and forth....looks like would be hard to get one without defects

Bummer. I'd at least try for one replacement before throwing in the towel.

Congrats Brian! Timing things for a birthday can be tricky. -) But we appreciate the idea, right?

Mine came with the neck spacing problem as well as broken tips of the hair that looked like someone used a Sharpie to fill in the color. I contacted Sideshow and they wanted me to ship the entire statue back and will replace it with another one. Dejah came out AMAZING and she's absolutely stunning! My wife and daughters says it's the most beautiful statue they've ever seen and I would have to agree with them.

Here's hoping a get a better one with a replacement.

Sorry to hear that myskye23, hope you get a good replacement.

Damn myskye… that gap is
They must be mismatching body/heads at the factory or something.

I too had a small hair end broken off, but it was so minor I just ignored (but it was just one)

Yup. It seems like this entire batch has been plagued by the same thing.

Thank you xellos, I'm hoping as well because the statue itself is just phenomenal and the paint and sculpt is perfect in every way but unfortunately the QC fell off during mass production somewhere.

It really was a bad gap Yojimbo and I've searched other forums for comparison, along with this one and mine seems to have the worst of it. I tried different things to make it fit and I went as far as lightly sanding it down and even added Vaseline to help it but it was stuck at a certain spot and it wouldn't go beyond that point. I actually didn't notice the broken pieces of hair until I tried to sand it down. I just shipped out the return to Sideshow so I'm assuming it'll be another couple weeks before I get a replacement.

wow...that's some gap
still no sign of mine and gotta say with all these returns I'm in no hurry, I can wait for a good one.

thecollertor80 and mrskye23 heres hoping you get good replacements
