I hope SS reads about the lack of primer incase the factory did it without their knowledge!
If SS did this knowingly to cut corners,

I am on the waiting list for replacement body, I wonder if I should get a refund instead. If mine is the regular would be no brainer, I would ask for a refund for sure.

Despite of the serious issue, why the EX is still selling way above retail price in the after market?

Me too. If I can get a replacement body that's painted right, I want to keep her. If not, then they are going to let me return her. I'm not keeping a $300 statue that will keep getting worse and worse.

the body on mine was fine, but the base was cracking all over, yet they offered a replacement body

Only pic i can supply is the stripped down version of her when i get home tomorrow from my parents for mother day weekend.

But if up got a flaking piece and you have to destroy or replace it. Just scrape it with your finger nail, you will see there is nothing under the skin except resin.

Yup, I did this before I destroyed mine once my replacement came through, absolutely no primer at all.
