Yep same here, I love the execution and design of this but I don't trust the level of construction put into these statues, especially one with such an extreme leaning pose.
Hopefully we don't start to see pics like this posted of Zatanna -

Since the Rogue MAQ, it feels like Sideshow has mastered the engineering for gravity-defying poses. Might even say as early as the Spiderman PF vaulting over the crane. So, leaning is not much of a concern anymore.
And with the recent releases of the Catwoman PF, Black Canary PF and Black Widow PF, Sideshow has shown excellent paint apps. Most of all, the portraits are beautiful.
So, for me, I believe this piece is going to turn out great.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Looked dope in the booth tour. I ordered since it's low stock. Now it's even lower stock!

It looks like someone has attached the statue to the base incorrectly.
I do not think it is leaning. Just needs to be removed, rotated 90 degree's and re_inserted.

On the booth tour they said that a reinforced steel bar run from her foot all the way go to the top of her bodice.
Makes it even more tempting now since that question has been answered.

Sideshow has done this numerous times now. They go to great lengths to engineer the support for gravity defying poses. Spider-Man PF vaulting over crane, Joker PF on pogo stick, Rogue MAQ in flight, etc.
I'm not surprised they engineered a support structure for this Zatanna PF. The pose logically requires it. I'm willing to bet on it, so I've ordered the EX.

The Flash PF probably warrants a mention. Very gravity defying, no lean. I saw a vid where there is a steel bar running through the whole body

That's right! Flash!
That's another one where Sideshow engineered the support structure.

Last leaning statue they had as far as I know was the Raf Grassetti Wolverine.

Is he even supposed to be completely vertical? Mine has had a slight lean from day one, and hasn't got any worse.
