Crazy glue that thing. Permanent fix

Original fix for the magnets popping out on mine (from the head sculpt), SSC sent me a small container of epoxy and told me to glue it back myself..true story. And then the arm fell off and they had to send a new arm, so my LSF had multiple defective magnets despite my package having a piece of paper that SSC proudly wrote which stated that this product went through their vigorous QC testing lol.

And the only reason I put up with all of that and the price was because I honestly believed the statue looked too amazing to pass on and I don't think I'll ever see a statue this good in a very very long time (in my opinion).

Still the best looking Doom statue I've ever seen.

Yeah, that will go over reeeaaaallll well.

I have a chance to get this piece for $1800 Is it worth it? Or a QC nightmare that I might as well super glue on the limbs on? How is everyone's holding up?

My Doom is still in one piece! Granted I'm extremely careful with it and built a wooden box specifically for the one statue and it's located in my office which is off limits to almost everyone in the house yet I am still very paranoid about it falling apart at the slightest vibrations of any sort (ie. someone walking by it too heavily).

$1800 sounds like a solid price which is actually lower than what it originally came out at which is kind of weird and potentially concerning? I feel like I've seen one listed on ebay before that was missing an arm or they were just selling the one arm by itself (I guess a lot of people had arms falling off)..

Do the magnets feel weak? Do you test them? Are they just lose? Have you taken any precautions?
It's a local store. I've seen it so I know it's legit

I tested them a lot when I first got the statue (ie. after having to epoxy the magnet on the head myself and having a replacement arm sent from Sideshow due to the previous one being too weak resulting in a shattered arm all over my floor). But that was 3 years ago, I haven't had any issues since and I haven't touched that statue since (probably a mental thing on my end since I'm afraid to).

In general I feel SSC is very 50/50 when it come to QC and at least at the time I could get that replacement arm whereas now if that happened and I didn't buy it directly from SCC I'd probably be stuck with a one armed Dr. Doom. As I mentioned in my earlier post a while ago they sent the original Dr. Doom with a SSC signed QC letter that noted they went through a major stress test to ensure the QC is top notch and that meant falling off heads and arms apparently lol.

I just got this piece for an amazing price. I have popped most of the magnets off with ease; some came out on their own. I plan to Epoxy them back on. But for the magnets that have not come out (left arm and torso magnets) how would you recommend securing them. I seen hear museum putty, but that failed over time. Should I just layer and epoxy around every magnet edge? Im half considering drilling pegs or just gluing the whole thing. I really want to reinforce everything after how easy it was to pop these magnets off

How much if you don't mind me asking?
