BUDDHO Buddha Pang Nak prok 8" H. Buddha Statue in The Posture of NAGA Poly Resin Thai Buddha Statue for Home Decor Buddha Gift Buddha Sculpture (Green)

I collect religious and spiritual statues and thought this one looked really cool. It represents Buddha being shaded by the Naga, a snakelike being, after his enlightenment.It's very bright, colorful, and covered in glitter. The glitter does have a tendency to fall off, so you probably want to keep it in one spot as much as possible.It came packed extremely well and I had no issues with breakage or anything like that. It's a very interesting statue and one of the more unique ones in my collection.

The box the manufacturer stocks the item in clearly has "FRAGILE" marked all over it but it was still sent from the warehouse in a paper bag. However, the product was packed in several layers of bubble wrap and fill to protect it in the box. There was no noticeable damage anywhere to be found.Once I peeled off all the several layers of plastic wrap and bubbles, I noticed about a spoon full of dirt in the plastic. Not realizing it was the filling, I tilted the statue up to look at it and dirt came pouring out of the side. When I panicked and placed it into a paper bowl I then noticed a crazy amount of glitter was getting all over things. My hands, my furniture, my counter, all had been bedazzled against my will.Examining the statue, the resin pour was extremely thin and brittle. There are techniques where you tilt the mold around and coat the sides to keep the item hollow to save on resin but they did not do it right. Some of the statue fell apart in my hands as the dirt filling came pouring out, meaning, the dirt on its own was enough to make the side wall crumble away without even touching it.You can see in my pics that the base of the statue was not given enough resin to provide a solid product. There is also a seam line from where the two molds meet which is another sign of shoddy work. This is a poorly made product. The cheap and lazy use of glitter was already problematic without the added headaches of a brittle product that leaks dirt. I'm not even going to request an exchange because the glitter is atrocious and no one deserves this mess. It's sheds worse than discounted Target Christmas ornaments.In the trash this thing goes.
