Statue BLITZWAY- Enter the Dragon- Bruce Lee Tribute 1/3 scale Statue Ver. 2 spec

Nothing goes into the peg hole. You remove the centre piece from the sticker and pop the figure in. Sounds like you did it right the first time.

Oh ok. Then what's this talk about needing to puncture the sticker with the foot peg?

I thought you guys meant some of the sticker should go in the hole underneath the foot peg

So it looks like my replacement statue has a definite lean, after comparing it to pics of my old one. I compared the placement of the feet compared to that of my old one, and my old one is definitely standing a little differently. Man I'm gutted, and wish I never returned my old one. Pop Cultcha piss me off. I specifically asked to check if it leans, which they didn't bother doing as the sticker was still on the base and they think it's normal for them to lean. This could be a real crap shoot trying to get one that doesn't have any flaws. I'm actually considering returning for a refund now. The lean pisses me off more than the gap under the chin.

I'm gonna take pics from the same angles I took of my old statue to do a direct comparison, just in case it's all in my head, but if the pics show a difference I will be sending this back to Pop Cultcha again. Not sure if they'll be willing to swap a 3rd time though.

if it does indeed lean,then surely that has to go down as a fault.PC should honour a replacement be it a 1st 2nd etc or if you'd prefer a full refund.i can see how the lean would piss you off I'd be the same mate.i'm keeping everything crossed that I get a good un.....when it finally gets here(I'm getting pissed off about that)
put your new pics up along with your old statue pics,I'm sure a few guys will help you confirm the lean mate.

Frustrating mate. This shouldn't be happening on a piece at this price point.
Is there any way you can tamper with the hole - filling it with something - to compensate or does it mean the feet will need to swing around so much the statue will be right at the edge of the base or something?

 

[mrchris]

I'm wondering if some of the pegs have been wrongly fitted at a slight angle causing the lean?either that or the hole has been drilled at an angle.

Hey guys,
I've seen others mentioning the 'sticker puncturing' and I didn't mean to cause any controversy....I didn't realize I was doing something different, just seemed the thing to do as I was putting mine together....no idea if I'm right or wrong in that regard...

I'm not sure how I ended up with a good example but I'm bummed to hear others are still having problems, shouldn't be the case with a statue at this cost and it's disappointing that we have to add Blitzway into the list of companies with potentially unacceptable issues.

Hey SAB did you leave the small sticker inside the foot peg hole (at the bottom) or did you throw it away like most of us did?

This leaning business is pissing me off. Popcultcha said they would check mine too but they probably didn't. Are any of you located in Melbourne? You should go to PC and pick out one and check it before paying. I don't trust the guys sending replacements. They don't seem to pay much attention to detail.

And if Blitzway did a better job we wouldn't be in this mess. I still think it's the Aussies getting the leans. Did Blitzway send their crap batch to us?!

That's the position my statue had to be at for the lean to correct itself. I'm picking up my replacement from post office at end of the week. If it leans I'm going ape **** on popcultcha.

After I sent my statue back to popcultcha a guy rang me up and said my lean was no worse than the others they had in stock. So like wtf?

Looks like Bruce needs a kung fu shoe on one foot and a platform shoe on the other...seriously It's supposed to lean!!!!!!

There,s room to shift the lean. I think it's depends where you rest the front foot. If I rest mines near the small ying yang circle it slightly leans. But I shift it near the centre line then it's totally straight. So adjusting it before you place the foot totally in place can gave you lesser lean I think. It prob depend on how factory fit foot peg also. But yer adjusting where you rest the foot helps sort the lean.
