Aphrodite IX AP and non AP difference

[verified]

Argh i got the AP version from ebay recently and was wondering why it took so long to arrive.
Today i find out that it's been held up in customs for security reasons, where they probably have already opened the box and raped the statue like any other item that goes through them.
And now i have to sign a form to clear them of any responsibility if the statue is damaged in anyway just so i can bring it home.
Damn customs.
I'll have to go all the way down to their warehouse to collect it myself next week.
If it's still fine, there will be lots of pics.
If not, well, i'm gonna feel sorry for the customs officer for sure.

I hope no major damage is done to your statue!

It happened to me when I got my The Darkness' fingers statue broken in front of me when the custom people opened it the wrong way. The worst part they still made me pay the full amount even when they damaged my statue heavily.

I hope it's fine too! It's an amazing statue, the detail on it is incredible. I think the colors look better in person too, they're darker than they look in the pictures. Aphrodite and Magdalena are my top favorites of the statues I own.

I had many statues stuck in customs in Singapore in the past, all came out fine. So don't worry you'll get it soon.

I just noticed something on the pics posted earlier. The original doesn't appear to have the IX tattoo on her arm. Does the original have the tattoo? Is it just not visible in the pics? I know the AP has it.
