Statue Alien: Big Chap Legendary Scale Bust

[Collectorcol]

Scratches and filler residue all around the dome?

Still waiting to hear back.
Their emails end with...

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I shall do my best to assist you.

Yet I'm getting one response to my questions every 24hrs.
Top quality C.S there.

I think they must be busy with all of these, I haven't had a second reply yet.

There are no more replacements for the EX they will offer $45.00 or send it back.

Thanks Webb... He's read the thread...

What's this 'horse-lip' you are talking about? I see no difference between all of them, but I don't really know what to look for....

$80 actually but mine's in pretty bad shape.

The space between the upper lip and dome...

I bet their CS is busy with every release. Man, I gotta say, there aren't very many quality pieces coming out of the SS factories anymore from my point of view. Not at these prices...

Crappy phone pics...

 

[Python]

Did you just pry that off Col? I presume the dome split while doing so? I don't think removing it with the intent of fixing and reapplying it is at all feasible at this point. Big shame...

 

[Collectorcol]

Popped off easily, in three pieces though.

Man, that skull looks awesome. Too bad this QC is killing this piece.

Side note, after looking at my bust again I discovered a crack in the tube on it's right side. Everything is still together but it's just one more thing. I have to display it showing the left side only to hide the crack and the scuffs on the right/front of the dome.

 

[Python]

Hmmm, are the white bits the main glue areas, or just chips?

 

[Collectorcol]

I really think this should of been made, and shipped. with the Dome separate from the Bust.
That way the Dome could just sit on the Bust eliminating the need for glue and filler which wasn't applied with any care causing most of the issues.

Really surprised so many Tendons arrived broken. I tried pulling them off and they were firmly fixed, very brittle though.
Should of been made with a more flexible material.

 

[choopie]

You getting a replacement?

 

[Collectorcol]

You getting a replacement?

After several emails i've decided to easiest option is to try again.
Sucks losing the Ex but i still like the design, if issue free.
The fact that I used over 3000 Reward Points means i got it for a good price to start with.
Any issues with the replacement and i'll be smashing another one up

Parts of this, especially around the shoulders are very thin. Thinner than your average Cookie Jar

 

[choopie]

Kudos to you for trying to get another one. I wish you luck in getting a good one. Issue-free, this piece really is fantastic. I had about 10 people over to the house for Thanksgiving and everyone kept gravitating toward it.

 

[mr.thrifty]

Cool pics man!

*sending you good jou-jou for a defect free replacement*...

It really does. So much about this piece just screams awesome! It's a real shame, for many of us.

Side note, after looking at my bust again I discovered a crack in the tube on it's right side. Everything is still together but it's just one more thing. I have to display it showing the left side only to hide the crack and the scuffs on the right/front of the dome.

That's the same deal with Matt's (Python) display options. With mine it's the left side of it that looks very poor with awful tendon problems & I can only dispay this piece happily with the right side showing.
