Ok, so this is kind of late in the day, But its been bugging me so i thought id ask you guys your opinion/advice.
i got my Sith anakin a couple of weeks back. Now I'd heard, rightly or wrongly, That teh arm problem had been fixed with this guy. When i took my figure out of teh box, all seemed fine. until i went to move his arm.
Not only did his arm slide right out of his sleeve. but the arm was broken. Well, to be fair, not broken so much as not put together at all. The part of the arm above the elbow joint seems to have never been sealed together. So my Anakins arm actually comes in three parts. the main body of the arm and the connector joint above the elbow is in 2 halves.
I was pretty dissapointed about this to say the least. But didnt really want to go through the hassle of sending the whole figure back to sideshow so I swore about it a lot, and then displayed him with the Robot arm instead.
Thing is, I really would liek to have the option of displaying him with the gauntlet. I realise i could probably glue the joint pieces together, but i really dont believe i should have to. And im worried i might somehow screw it up (however unlikely that may be... you never know)
So my question is. Do you think sideshow would simply send me a replacement arm? or am i going to have to send the whole piece back? Or, would you advise my attempting to glue the arm pieces together using superglue or something? I did buy the exclusive from Sideshow direct, so i guess they would replace the figure seeing as how its faulty. I just really dont want to go through through all the hoops of sending it back, waiting for a replacement etc, when, for all i know, i could get the same problem again.
Any advice would be gratefully recieved.
