Well it looks like it's going to take about a week to get my replacement and I'm crossing all my fingers that the new one I get is passable! See? not asking for much just passable! lol

Well unfortunately my Zatanna took a fall off her shelf a few days ago. Luckily it wasn't very far up so it didn't suffer horrible damage.
The front portion of her shoes/feet cracked and separated a bit and the heel on her right one chipped a little but she stayed attached to the base. Apparently there's some kind of metal wire in her feet that I guess is supposed to support the statue and because of that I wasn't able to push the cracked parts back together. She also ended up leaning back on the base.
I was able to carefully straighten her out. I don't think she's perfectly straight like before she fell but it seems pretty close to me. Her right foot isn't perfectly flush with the base anymore also, the heel is a little raised now.
So to wrap it up, the cracks are still there but I'm gonna live with it. I honestly can't see spending the money on a whole new statue. At least the damage is in an area that you normally don't look at too much. It would have been alot worse I think if something higher up broke and couldn't be repaired.
Okay sorry for the long story but I just wanted to get it off my chest.
I'm considering myself lucky that it wasn't a whole lot worse.

Thanks guys.
Yeah I'm just glad the damage was something I could live with and nothing catastrophic.

That sucks, Havok, sorry this happened to you...but I'm glad that you're not going off the deep end

Thanks Snoopy. I guess I have that thick skin that people say you have to develop if you want to collect statues.
I'm just grateful that I'm still able to display her and you can't really notice anything is wrong.

Well since I didn't post pictures of my Zatanna when I first got her, I thought I'd post the ones I just took.
As you can see, she still stands pretty good thankfully, even though she took a fall off my shelf.

went to a LCS today, and saw the Batgirl statue.
Still was an easy pass.

Worst paint job ever! What the hell happened? I have a piece of glue on the underside of her cape, globbed up areas of paint on her cape, a paint pop on her arm and fingerprints on the back of her cape where they touched it before it dried. but the face was not too bad. I don't have the energy to return her and deal with that, so she's on the bottom shelf. The base is pretty. compared to the crappy job gentle giant is doing now she would be 5 stars

Sorry to hear about the poor paint jobs you guys are getting on your Batgirl's.
On a brighter note I just got my Harley Quinn and she's fantastic!
I'll be posting pictures in the next day or so.
