Not to mention paint rubbing issues

Why are so many people worried about leaning? Sideshow statues have been well-engineered over the past few years.

I know these statues leaned:
OG Superman (fabric suit) due to pad crushage
Yellow Wolverine due to back foot peg not going in all the way
Batman TAS due to overall poor engineering
Daredevil tends to lean forward a little due to pad crushage

And that's about it. I know plenty of Tweeterhead statues leaned (like Harley Quinn), but Sideshow's have been resilient. Plenty of statues have one awkward point of contact (Gambit at the shin, Rogue at the arm, Superman/Flash/Captain America at one back foot, etc)--but they're all holding on strong (mostly because they were engineered around a heavy metal bar).

The cards and energy effects don't look translucent, so it's painted polystone--not some weak resin--likely reinforced with metal. I wouldn't hold off on this one due to leaning.

Out of curiosity what other Tweeterhead statues have leaning issues? I have 37 Tweeterhead statues, Harley among them, and not a single one of mine has any leaning issues. Harley was actually the first one I ever bought so she has been displayed the longest, since February of 2018.

I agree-I have 18 Tweeterhead statues and all are still standing the way they were when I first put them up (I do not have the first Harley Quinn statue so I cannot attest to any leaning issues with that if there are any).

My Batman muddy version is leaning. My Harley Quinn leans so much that I can?t display her.

[Demona]

The first Harley did lean.
I have Starfire and that statue is as upright as before.

How is muddy Batman leaning? Got pics?

[A Cimmerian]

He is leaning to the side of his cape. Not an extreme leaning like Harley but still very unpleasant. I took a pic for you but I don’t remember exactly how to post it and I don’t think I remember my password on Photobucket. Sorry.
