The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

My copy arrived today! Thank you, Knight!

My statue's face isn't too derby. Way better than what I have seen on here. His eyes are a bit of a painted mess, though. No big deal. A piece did break in the packaging, but I can't figure out where it goes! I think it came off the exposed shoe, but I have no idea. Help would be appreciated!

Makes me wanna open mine and see if anything is broken! Glad you got it though bud, and glad there wasn't any serious damage at all!

If I had to wager a guess I'd say that might be a piece to the medallion on his chest? Possibly also the sword on his back? If not, maybe you're right about the shoe? I'll take a look at mine later tonight and let you know if you don't get an answer!

Edit: Also you could check out Matt's unboxing vid above starting at around 8:32 or so he zooms in on the statue for quite awhile, maybe you could see something on there!

I was really worried about it because there is a USPS sticker on the outside that basically says "sorry for the damage." The shipping box appeared to be in near perfect condition, so I have no idea what that sticker referred to. The CE box itself has a bit of damage because Amazon sucks at packing stuff (giant box, no padding whatsoever so the entire CE box can slide around a lot), but I don't care too much about that.

The medallion looks intact and the piece appears to stick out of something, not lay flat against it. At first, I thought it was part of the sword hilt, but it doesn't appear to be.

EDIT: Thanks for the video tip, it is definitely the spur or whatever it is on the boot. Not sure how I am going to get it back in there. Might just leave it off. Anyone with suggestions for a type of glue? I don't want a melted mess attempting the repair with superglue.

The bit that was broken off, I think that is the hook on Geralt's back

Edit:




Per flatouts pic, the hook below the sword. If not that then off the sword (handles)?

It's actually his spur on the back of his boot from the picture you posted.
If you look at your pic, there's a silver band around his heel, it's supposed to be on the back of it and alignment-wise, with the point (slightly longer edge) at the top near his calf and the shorter end at his foot. (I think the leg he has over the back of the griffin shows which way to further confirm it.)

EDIT: Ninja'd and just spotted you noticed it's the spur. (For some reason I can't delete this post though.)

I'll give superglue a try. Not really sure if I want to try or not as I might just make a mess of things and it doesn't look bad with the spur missing.
