Maybe there is a little blob of paint or something on the peg or in the hole. If so maybe you can sand it down. If everything else is good on the statue that's what I'd try. I'd be nervous to get a replacement that was worse in some other way.
Do you guys think they will ever do a variant grey hulk vs brown wolverine? Maybe with a different hulk head? It seems like it would be easy. I would have a hard time not buying it!
I can't believe it, I just got one too from AE. I had been all sad and hating myself for not pre-ordering this. I had pretty much accepted that I wasn't going to get one without paying a much higher price.
