Same here... But I still think it would go great with other Bowen avengers

If your BW is close in number to mine (#45) you may have leaning issues.

Ugh does this happen only the earlier batch? I just ordered one last night.

I believe it was only the first batch that had the issue.... XM will replace it for you though...

Yeah one thing I noticed from XM. Superior body and base, qc, and paint. However, they can't get the head right although they nail the eyes. Charging premium price should have no issue with the faces. IMHO they look too animated. Sadly I'm only collecting female pieces and they can't get them right.

Kind of hard to keep needing a expensive custom after spending so much. I wished it was done well the first time around like many of the XM male characters are so well done I don't even need the coolest customs for my XM. Sure some would be just for fun like mags. But the females custom portraits is must if I was to buy or keep them. The eyes on them are too animated and thin lines make them more animated like a classic disney cartoon. I do give XM credit for making improvements now with the medusa and ms marvel which looks ways better than phoenix and bw. They are listing and getting better.

Here are some pictures of my replacement BW that had the leg lean issue. It took about 6 months to get the replacement part but XM kept their word and delivered.

It's still not 100% perfect but is definitely better than the what I had before. They seemed to have added a solid metal rod into the length of the standing leg similar Phoenix. When you pick up the main body there is a increased heft to the statue.

The peg slides in very tightly into the original base of the statue but here's where I'm not sure if the addition of the metal rod causes problems.

From my pictures you'll see that the feet aren't flush against the ground and definitely not against the wall.
Also the backside brushes very closely against the wall.

The foot peg is very firmly inserted into the base and I don't think I can actually remove it without putting excessive force on the main body.

I hope the rest of you who were promised replacement parts get yours shortly and the results are 100% what you expect.
