Nice shots Craw! Such a great looking statue.

does anyone know how to fix the crooked flag tip? i am afraid of breaking it like someone else who did. There is only 1 way to affix the flag pole on top of the flag, and it's really crooked. Not sure how to fix, it didnt bother me until i display him in a different angle and now the flag looks really bent on top.

You could try heating it a bit or making just a tiny bit of some kind of putty to have it sit straight.

I had the same problem myself gagaliya.

The way I mixed it was, I paired away some of the end of the top piece that sits on the flag pole (just enough for it to sit straight.

I put in a tiny amount of green stuff in the top of the flag pole to fill the gap.

Placed the top piece back on top and adjusted it to the correct position and cleaned the overflow of green stuff.

Left it for a while to semi set, took off the top piece again to allow the green stuff to fully harden.

That way the tip can be taken off and put back on, should it be required.

Clean up and paint - hay presto - jobs a gooden.

Hope that helps mate.

Good luck with it.

i used a hair dryer, it straightened it out, but after a few days it gradually went back to being crooked again

was going to chip away a bit at the pole connector like you suggested but it's so small i am afraid of breaking the thing.

will just display him in a different angle for now.

i twisted the plastic spear tip till the knobby bit wore away and ended up fitting a bit better. it's not a great fit but it's more secure then before.

stoopid me broke the sword on my replacement sword arm so i'm buying another one. anyone know what Sideshow will charge me?

 

[tomandshell]

When did the EX come back in stock?

 

[gagaliya]

probably from all the returns...

new sword arm is on the way gotta remember not to break replacements

Sideshow customer service replaced both the raised and lowered sword arms as well as the sword hand and the flagstaff for my statue. The problem was basically magnets that were too weak which resulted in both arms falling onto the floor (I was positive that the up-raised arm would stay even with a weak magnet… APPARENTLY NOT!) and chipping and breaking the sword hand. The flagstaff had the same chipped out area at the top so the spike wouldn't stay in at all. They were very cooperative which frankly, although I have always had excellent service before, I didn't expect with such a long list of needed parts. All they needed was the usual photographs and there were no other questions.

I'd suggest everyone make sure that the magnets in the arms are sufficient to hold them in and if there's any question at all put a little bit of something extra (earthquake putty or whatever) into the arm holes to make sure they stay there!

how did you manage to break it?

 

[BigBunny]

how did you manage to break it?

tried adjusting the forks on the sword to make them look better and broke one

gfdill my flag is chipped at the top too but i didn't bother asking for a replacement for it because the flag looks good.
i kept twisting the plastic spike until it fit ok, not exactly straight but ok.

It will likely be a problem going forward for a lot of people so I'm going to be extra careful and, perhaps not display the spike at all if I can't come up with some kind of semi-permanent removable fix. As you say the flag just by itself is gorgeous. It might even fit better into my shelving without the extra couple of inches. We shall see.

EX is completely sold out now, not even a waitlist.

the flag is gorgeous that's why i didn't ask for a replacement. it seems the chips at the top on the pole are common and i had to be carefull twisting the plastic spike because i didn't want to break my flag
