Yeah not so sure on the "engineering" on this. All 3 legs better be metal.

What concerns me is if the magnets on the body or legs are strong enough to hold the body safely long-term. I hope the body is super light otherwise I would be afraid of it falling at some point.

Otherwise, the statue is looking really good! Congrats to folks getting it!

The body didn't look light by how he was moving it.

Going to be honest, this definitely has me worried. The legs did not look metal, and holding up a full 1/4 scale with just 3 magnets? And my dude is floating! this looks like a piece that once it’s placed don’t even think about touching it or breathing near it.
I have this on order, but really not loving this engineering at all.

If the legs are metal and the body is pure plastic resin, no Polystone, then it will be fine. The legs have to be metal. If only 1 is metal and the other 2 Polystone then it will warp for sure a year after the return period.
If the body is heavy then I have no faith in it.

This freakin statue looks amazing! That video has me stoked!

And again, if SSC was able to design a support structure for the Rogue MAQ, then they could easily make one for this statue.

Even with how they designed the Storm PF, the Power Girl PF and Captain Marvel PF ... those are pretty stout. This statue will be stout too.

Website says it's made of polystone and metal. Just not which parts.

Hopefully the legs are metal and they are not talking about just the Rods in the legs.
