NOTE: I shot the photo's under LED room lights. Combine that with the zoom lens,
and the color alters from shot to shot?

Niice! Good you got an excellent condition one after all that hassle....my Cammy had a hand paint chip so i am getting a replacement part for that...cammy and killer bee eye gloss on my set was definitely less glossier than decapre out of the box...not sure if that is the case with the others

Do you have the magnetized red triangle symbol?

Yes i do. It's in the box. I spotted it was missing after i packed the camera way. I might add it tomorrow and take some natural daylight shots, if the weather's ok.

Good luck with the replacement hand.

It is the first time i have seen paint (darker paint) added to the inside of the nostrils.
Normally the inside of the nostrils is the same color as the skin tone. More factories should do this.

These all turned out much better than I expected which is great. Definitely looking forward to seeing more photos and placing an order.

Thanks again for the photos. I hope you guys enjoy your statues and that they come undamaged.

In usual FedEx style, the import charges seem higher than other companies?

Duty: £39.02 (with FedEx they bung on this as well?)
Taxes: £137.96 (this is the usual 20% rip off import fee)
Ancillary charges: £12.0 (this is a standard charge unrelated to value)
Total: £188.98 ($263.19USD)

That's almost 30% of the item value.

Once payment has been made bank to bank, for which i assume there will be a charge, i have to send off two emails.
This is why FedEx = Garbage. DHL for teh win!

I prefer FedEx over DHL. If you have a business account (or business name), there are no vat fees and I actually pay less tax on it based on how the harmonized codes are used by custom. I also don’t have to pay till 3-4 weeks billing cycle. FedEx for teh win!
