If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

Early PCS statues leaning :(
Have you guys ever checked on your earlier PCS statues if they're starting to lean? Besides my Scorpion statue leaning that i'd found out last month, but noticed my black version exclusive Chun Li had also leaned. And no, it had nothing to do with the temperature, cuz the statue was inside a cabinet against a wall that the sun had never shine on.
I wonder if it had to do with the material the factories Jerry had used when his company first started. The same way how those annoying those styrofoam was use in the beginning with Akuma, Ryu, and so. Hopefully now Jerry had found a more stabilized factory to produce his work.
Just a head up guys to go take a look before it tips over. Cuz none of my Bowen, SS or Aspen statues had any leaning issues regardless if they were standing on one leg or not.

None with any of mine, thankfully. All in climate controlled rooms and office with zero windows.
No paint cracks either...

This is why I'm out of the Ultra line or anything from any company in a precarious pose. There are too many variables, including the factories cutting corners in spite of supervision.
Sorry to hear that. Consider using a hair dryer, it worked for some people with the old Vega. I ended up selling mine.

My vega has been leaning for years and any heating is just a temp fix unforunately.

I recent purchased a Black Chun, she has a slight lean. Assume it leaned for the previous owner.

I thought only vinyl would be pliable? Shouldn't polystone just crack?

Oh no. Take a hair dryer to some of your statues and you will find you can work your own sculpting magic!
Polystone is just a plastic with some minerals/sand mixed.

I thought it was like porcelain. Learn something new everyday... 
I have a vinyl Pumkinhead kit that is basically side ways... Haven't bought anything vinyl since.
I would think any leaning issues then could be attributed to them heating up then???

Nah often times they lean under their own weight or due to the polystone being mixed or cured incorrectly.
Physics over time can be tricky.
