1/6 TMNT Leonardo from Sideshow not attaching to base
I bought all four TMNT 1/6 Sideshow statues about two years ago from EB Games (Leo) and PopCultcha (the rest). Both are reputable resellers here in Australia, who I believe source Sideshow products from Ikon Collectibles, the official distributor. All were perfect apart from Leo who wouldn't sit flush on his base. I applied a *lot* of pressure but it felt like he'd break, so I backed off.
At the time I contacted sideshow for advice on how to fix it myself. They were polite but offered no help, telling me to deal with the seller. I clarified that I didn't want a refund nor exchange from Sideshow, just some DIY tips. I also told them I had already returned Leo twice, and that this was my 3rd Leo with the same problem - i.e. the seller is just going to offer a refund, but I want the statue. Still no help from SideShow, so in the end I moved on, and kept him as is.
But here we are a couple years later having bought my first Tweeterhead (Superman 2.0 preorder) statue and I'd like to get Leo fixed. So, I'm wondering if anyone else has this statue, if so did you have this problem, and may you offer some advice on how to fix him?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
