I would just sell it and keep the cash.
It did not look like it had been opened and I did sit their with the sealed shipping box for 3 minutes examining it as I do with all my packages
And they got the statue from Germany and then shipped it to me so I think they just took any random statue from the uplay (German warehouse/ European store) as it took them 25 days (3 working weeks) to tell me they had the statue in hand and was ready to send it out to me and asked for the delivery address)

So either
  1. I am really unlucky
  2. They are all this bad
  3. My attention for detail is too high and nobody else noticed all the badness

Yeah I checked my statue and tried to find the same defects you showed in the pics. Only one I found is the coattail that barely looks like it's underlapping the top layer. Looks like ubishop sent a dud to you or it got beat-up during transit. Good thing it was free though right?

I still agree with you though. It's not worth the original price. Paint apps on the face and hands are horrible; they look nowhere close to the promotion pics. And anatomy is wrong cause he's missing part of his buttocks and crotch. Paint apps on the Roman columns received little attention... Looks like someone just got a precision spray can and covered them up in a minute. Even if someone saw this for a really good price they might have to think long and twice before bringing it home. The McFarlane Kenway statue has improved on all these facets and more.

Was it Ubishop who sent it (or made it)? I think a lot of statues are not worth the money.

McFarlane from what I can tell makes amazing quality statues.

Yes the painting on the base /fallen column is not very detailed
And I'm not a fan of the spray on beard and eyebrows,
I'm not a fan of the spray detailing,
Butnim so happy I got this for free instead if someone paying and getting this piece of defect
