Use some clear gloss to touch up the mouth, eyes and wounds on the ape.
Makes a difference and looks better.
That peg is big so hopefully it'll do it's job for the long haul with no issues.
It really is a great piece.
I was on the horn with Sideshow today and spoke to William who is handling all the Conan issues. He was very helpful to me and will be replacing my broken base. I checked out all the other pieces on my Conan and there are no other issues including the casting holes mentioned by dr.banner.
William is going to ship out the base today and no later then tomorrow in a styro insert that SS will create for it so I expect it to arrive with no damage since it will be a much more manageable package. He was willing to replace the entire thing but I decided to go with just replacing the base specifically to make the package more manageable with less of a chance for damage..
Hopefully I will be posting pics next week.
Great to hear Sideshow are taking care of you so well !
Sorry to hear that Ex Parrot. Mine arrived broken too. The break point is where Conan's arm is attached to the ape. The arm broke in two on mine. The ape and Conan really should have been shipped as two separate pieces that connect by magnet or pins. Where was yours broken?
Thanks, and likewise sorry to hear about yours too. And everyone else who got a damaged one.
Anyway mine broke at the exact same place as yours did. As you said, it really should have been two separate pieces. That's just too much of a stress point during shipping, I think.
What worries me now is the odds on getting a replacement that arrives in any better condition than this one has. Especially during the end of year rush when the delivery people will be rushed off their feet to try and get things moving as fast as possible. Feeling rather pessimistic about the whole thing, which sucks, because in person it's an amazing looking piece (minus the damage).
Just charging my camera battery now so I can take some detailed pics and start the whole process with Sideshow...
EDIT - photos taken, email to sideshow sent. Now back to waiting...
Hah, I knew FotB was a big piece but that pic next to Galactus really puts it in perspective.
