Assassins Creed IV Edwards Kenway McFarland Resin Statue

[LeX]

What I'm worried about, I asked imironmann to ship mine in the original packaging used by Mcfarlane. I assumed the Styrofoam the support the statue is strong enough during transit.
now seeing this damage. it gives me worries

To be honest Lex I don't think there is a lot else anyone can do without going completely insane with packaging. This is just how Ezio's fury is packaged and it sounds like Romeo's were dropped BEFORE they went in the shipping box... maybe in the Amazon warehouse???

I think a lot of FRAGILE tape is called for....

That's the issue here.... I don't know who is to blame. McFarlane ships the statue to Amazon in a fitted box. There is no room for error there. Amazon then puts the shipping box from McFarlane, with labels and all, in their own branded box with padding all around inside.

The first two I received had smashed corners on the McFarlane shipping box, right after opening the Amazon shipping box. So either it was damaged from McFarlane to Amazon, or someone in the Amazon warehouse is damaging these.

My inner box (the colorful one) had a smashed corner, not as bad as yours but as I got it directly from Mcfarlane I think it's their fault

I followed up with amazon today to let them know the third was in good condition. As of now, because of me receiving two defective/damaged statues, they have pulled it from amazon and is currently under review.

Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

best wishes to my edwards. I just really hope I received thr statue perfect.
The thing is, you guys can easily resolve it, like what romeo is doing, demand for replacement.
for me it wont be easy to do that..

Thanks Romeo for bringing up the packaging concerns and for providing pictures.

The pictures forced me to finally open the Edward statues I received 2 weeks ago and thankfully both statues arrived intact with no damage.

The packages came directly from MacFarlane and had minor to no dents on the outer packaging.

Wow, what trauma there has been in simply getting an undamaged package. Amazon is cool because of the low price bargains but I have had lots of issues with stuff showing up damaged from them. Anyone here catch the 60 minutes special on Amazon from a month or so back when they were using drones to deliver stuff (er, I mean get massive free publicity the night before Black Friday)? Perhaps they were using Romeo's first two statues as test packages for the drone delivery after using the same to test delivery of industrial Crisco vats to food service consumers. Drones with "butter fingers" are probably responsible for the dropped damaged goods.

Seriously though I was irked by seeing that $248 price tag merely weeks after buying @ $295 from Spawn online first day, but I think avoiding the extra hassle of two Amazon returns and dealing with them on the phone + effort to return ship them was probably worth the extra $50ish bucks as mine arrived quickly w/no damage from McFarlane.

So anyone find a good case to display this behemoth in? Anyone confirm footprint and vertical clearance dimensions? I took quick measurements when I took mine out to inspect but forgot what they were. Curious what minimum size cube this would fit into.

Happy New Year to all here!
