Sideshow Darth Vader Premium Format (Mustafar) - Head Sculpt

[voodoo111]

Hi All,
I've come across a few posts similar to my question, but nothing in regards to this collectable and the head sculpt (apologies if I missed something).
I have the Sideshow Dart Vader Premium Format (with the Mustafar base) and I was trying to see why his lightsaber wouldn't light up.
Anyhow, as I was trying to see what was going on (Note: The saber still doesn't light up and there doesn't appear to be any visible issue with the lightsaber - all connectors have been cleaned), the head sculpt fell from a small height. But as luck would have it, it fell right on the edge of his helmet, breaking the silver protrusion from the mouthpiece (see attached).

I dont suppose anyone has or knows anyway I can get the head sculpt either fixed or replaced? Unfortunately it was my fault, so I am happy to pay for replacement, but I've had no luck with Sideshow Support.

Any info for this newbie would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks All!

Assuming you have the piece that broke off, I'd use a drop of super glue to get it back in place. If it broke into multiple pieces that might not be possible. I doubt Sideshow has any extra parts at this point so that's probably why you're not hearing much from them. There's going to be a slightly apparent line where you super glue but shouldn't be too noticeable... Good luck!

Thanks Darth..
Unfortunately the head sculpt is a resin/porcelain makeup and yeah, the silver component demolished into numerous pieces, so it wouldn't be possible to super-glue it
Hopefully I will hear back from Sideshow, but I am not holding my breath. And to buy a new one just for the head sculpt.. well.. that isn't on the cards for me at the moment.

I was hoping the tusk might've been a different material. Yeah, not a lot of options I am afraid. Only other thing I can think of is finding a 3D printed 1/4 scale Vader head and trimming the tusk off and painting it to match. A tough task unless you've done a lot of that kind of stuff though. I say you chalk it up to "battle damage"...
