Do the right thing and give this collector this statue for free.

I won't hold my breath for that to happen, but it would be the ultimate nicest gesture that I wouldn't expect from SSC.
I've just never had this run of bad luck before and I've probably bought at least 50 statue from SSC direct over the years. The only one that comes to mind that I had to return for a full refund. Was the G.I. Joe Cobra Commander diorama. Which was hard because it had sold out with no replacement coming.

I have a feeling this time around SSC will tell me to just return it for a full refund. Which is fine because this is not like '07-'10 SSC when this piece would have been long ago sold out. If they say, do that, I'll just take the full refund and purchase all over again. This Surfer will be in the collection one way or another. Even it that means that I have to go through 10 of them to get it right. Plus, I feel that is my part to the hobby to get as many of the bad ones out the way, so that others that live further away and returns would be very daunting. Takes one day for my returns to get back to SSC and they send me another next day. 3 days tops from return and the new one is back on my door step.

I agree, hopefully you get it all out of your system with this one statue.

The funny thing that I've learn during all these returns is how the statue numbering system works. It's truly what they pick to give you.
For example...
First Number statue was #222
(SSC sent a replacement body that didn't peg in completely.)
Second Number was #1971
(Surfboard and Surfer was messed up)
Which now I'm thinking I'm going to get something closer to #2200 or higher. Nope, I get...
Third Number #578
(Broken portal straight out the box)
Fourth Number ?
Either way via replacement or new purchase. I wonder what the next number will be or will SSC just send me another base with the same number. Being that base #578 is already broken, because I have had them do that to me for the Thanos and Lady Death diorama or they just chose to do it that way for me.
