Did you not see that there was a leak that Nordic Games is releasing Darksiders 2 Definitive Edition on PS4? Fingers crossed they included Darksiders 1 as that is the one I want. Also hopefully it will sell well enough for them to invest in Darksiders 3.
Oh yea.. heard something about it from a friend. Yea probably testing the market to see how much interest there is for the series.

Joe Mad HAS to come back though, it's his story.

I can't wait for the Witcher 3 statue. Yours looks really nice! This will be my first purchase for the current gen. I will definitely be cutting down my collection from here on out.

It is very nice. I probably should cut down a bit as I have not more display room

Got three new statues. First two arrived in these past few days but sadly both were broken. Third one should be here Tuesday and I hope that one is fine.

The first one was brand new and is a Darksiders Samael statue... the leg armor broke off compeltey and the chains are shattered.

The second one is a Duke Nukem 3D statue and I knew it had a spot where the monster's tongue was broken (it was not said in the listing but I noticed it and told the seller before hand) but when I got it that was not the only thing wrong. The blade on the monster's weapon had been broken off and glued back, and also the fins on the weapon were broken off. Another small thing I noticed was the nose has a chip or paint missing.

So the Darksiders one the seller gave me all but the shipping back and i keep the statue, on the other one I pointed out the issue and before I even got a reply the seller refunded me completely and said to keep it. I am not sure if I am very unlucky for the damage, or very lucky for the refunds.



Here is the Darksiders Samael one... I am going to attempt fix it and will take pics to show you guys later on how well it went:










Here is the Duke Nukem, nothing I can do to fix this, all there is to do is just display it as is:











Damaged areas that I have noticed other then the broken tongue:

I already figured out where each big chain piece goes but as you say they will be very hard to fix if at all.

I actually did not get all my money back for the Darksiders one... the did not give me the shipping amount back. They offered to send me a new one and I was going to do that. Then I decided to see if they just wanted ot give me a refund to save them from having to pay to have the old one sent back and the new one sent to me. Then they gave me the item cost back only and have gone silent. The issue for me is it would have cost them SO much more to send me a new one (they would have lost the original shipping amount, then the new shipping amount to send me the new one, and then on top of the the amount to send the old broken one back) and I was trying to save them money but just taking the damaged one. Should I just take what I got back and leave it at that?

I think it's good enough that you got the money for the item back. I believe in you, you can fix it!

Yikes! Rough time with statues. At least the sellers were quick to refund the money (or most of it, anyway) and you didn't have to go through the lengthy open case process.

I am curious what kind of glue you use to repair statues/figures that are plastic. I've found superglue just melts plastics and isn't useful at all.

Yeah I got lucky with the sellers... but even with the money back it still is frustrating as broken statues are not what i wanted.

These are not plastic. Also it would depend on the type of plastic and the type of super glue you use as to weather it would melt it some. Sometimes there is not much you can do, all depends on the circumstances... context is everything.

The statues I have are all resin or polystone. I recently fixed a polystone statue and I used super glue to set the small pieces in place and then coated them with a thin layer of clear hard epoxy around the areas that broke.

With the Samael I may have to use hotglue o the leg armor since it was only initially held on by a very small attachment spot. Then I will use superglue on the chains and then a hard epoxy coating.
