Those "iron legs" are well designed with excellent support, & great paint, but you may find yourself out of luck if bent.

Sideshow is coming through, just waiting to receive hopefully a better view.


P.S. I always feared this. The low edition sized runs will be collecting headaches if something ever goes wrong. Replacements may be a mess, and patience it will test.

Sideshow is sending another replacement that?s arriving tomorrow. I had to send a video of the issue since it was hard to capture with pictures. It is an amazing but elaborate piece that definitely needs more time to assemble than the typical statue.

Well, yes & no. It is a very cool piece, but very easy to assemble if it fits, as my replacement did. But yes, if it don't fit, it's a b!tch!

With three attempts, I'm guessing the odds you'll get a good one are high, so keep hanging with this guy.

Good luck, post results.

Thanks but I?m sad to say the third one also had a the same issues. Both legs were so loose this time that the moment I connected the body it came right off. There is zero resistance when inserting (that?s what she said) the legs into the base. On to replacement number 4.

Man, that's bad.

If you get another shot at it, I would strongly suggest/request Sideshow staff actually set-up the intended replacement before they ship it, to ensure it fits, because I don't think you'll get another crack at it.

Hang tough, good luck.

Man, Sideshow knocked this one out of the park.

Truly a great sculpt, pure, to the point. Perfect (almost).

Excellent set-up, excellent sculpts, a visual treat/knock-out!

Great stuff.

Thanks Divo, was nerve wracking putting it all together after reading about all the issues with the legs fitting properly. Middle leg feels like completely solid metal and heavy.

That's good to hear. So the middle leg does all the lifting and the other 2 are the stabilizers. Excellent!

I have the piece and that is definitely the case. Magnets feel strong too.
