Well i received my QAFH last thursday and must say i have never had such mixed feelings about a piece. The sculpt itself is AWESOME. The paint to me is AWESOME although it could have been a little more glossy but it's fine The translucent legs, AWESOME. Normally that would be enough to make me happy but QC SUCKS!!! The base is nicely sculpted and painted other than a few spots they missed showing up as tiny white areas in a few crevices. Honestly you have to get real close to see them and they are very small. The Velvet stuff on the bottom of the base is wrinkled and loose. Looks like crap. You don't see it but you also don't see $700 in my wallet anymore so i expect better. As others have said the pole that holds it up is a joke and the thing sits mid air all crooked although it's not the pole that makes it sit crooked it's the casting thats messed up. I made a new pole and was able to get it to sit with 4 legs down and 2 up. Took me 2 hours to cut and bend and rebend and rebend and file and cut the pole down so it looked right. Nerve racking to say the least putting that thing on and off 15+ times. Not something i should have to do after dumping $600 + shipping on it. If i had broken it it would have been my fault for trying to fix their mess up. Lets move to the tail, looks like they all have scoliosis. Mine has it as does everyone i've seen. The socket on the hugger is cast crooked so it doesn't sit in the middle of the hugger and the vertibrae is cocked to the side. If you could line up the vertibrae then the bottom of the tail would be off so it's just a messed up casting, or more likely a poor molding job. All the major issues look to be from a poor molding job. So i am very unhappy about some things but happy about the sculpt itself. The new pole has it sitting better so thats water under the bridge for me now. The tail looks like it's crooked on all of them so returning this one for another is probably not going to get me a better one. So even with all it's fault i'm keeping it. It is impressive....and wonky. Don't know what else to say other than I will not be this forgiving if the $1250 Vader bust is this messed up and they will get it back for a refund and i will cancel my T600 bust and i will be done with SS. Were talking good money for these pieces and i'm not playing this game with my money. I don't think asking for something to be straight and sitting propery is asking too much. SS either knew they were mess up and said OH well or they didn't and sent them out.
