Indy Raiders Premium Format Figure

[mikiejedi]

Hi guys!

I need support!!!! he he he!

I finally found a Raiders Premium Format Indy figure a couple of months ago, but have only taken it out of the box today.
Anyway, before the seller sent it he opened it to check that it was all ok, as it was brand new, un-opened and e-mailed me pictures. The pictures were of the statue still with his back in the styrofoam (so front on), and it looked ok.

When it arrived i opened it but silly me didn`t take him completely out of the styrofoam and thought it looked fine, as i`ve been waiting for a cabinet to get built before i could display him. Anyway, today i took him out and to my horror, the brim from the back of his hat was broken off!! I don`t know if it happened in transit or what! I`m pretty sure it`s too late to do anything about it now so my wife glued it back on and you can only tell now from a really close look. I will e-mail the seller anyway, but it`s been a few weeks now so there`s probably nothing he can do, and it`s my own fault for not checking it completely when it arrived! It looks fine now but still i know that the break is there! I will just have to live with it i guess.

Has anyone else out there had any disasters like this and how have you coped....he he he!

I am sad to say I don't own the PF Indy. However, if you know a good artist, whom you trush, that paints sculptures, I would highly recommend getting it repainted. It's a fantastic sculpt! The paint apps aren't too good, though. With a proper repaint, it looks amazing. And it would probably hide the break well.

There are some members at the Sideshow Freaks forum that take commissions for repaints, but the wait time is usually pretty long.

I would do a google search for custom painters... just as suggestion.
