Prime 1 - Batman: Hush 1/3 statue line

[supermetroid]

Wow I really like the Batman but it does seem like a lot of weight towards one side. Please tell me there's two deep pegs?

This will not lean over time. If you have the foot peg and cape installed properly then you will notice that a tip of the cape rests against the horn of the gargoyle. This essentially acts as support and will prevent any movement or "lean" to the right (Batman's left).

XM did a similar design for their comic Thor where a small portion of the cape rests on the base and acts as support.

I thought so too in the beginning but this piece has grown on me a lot.

The new YouTube videos changed it for me.

Old ones didn't do it. Don't know why

I don't think that cape is really supposed to be resting on the horn of the gargoyle. On mine, it only does that because the key for the cape and foot don't really fit properly (it isn't "tight" at all and the cape key isn't magnetized). The cape lifts up more from the key hole than it should and the foot hole has enough wiggle room that the figure moves forward. I have been wondering if the design change caused issues - this cape wouldn't have been as much of a problem had the figure been more upright. As it is, gravity isn't really helping that key stay down - it's causing the cape to try and lift the key out of the hole. It's being stopped by the head and the gargoyle horn.

I have seen an unboxing video where the cape isn't even close to resting on the gargoyle head (pictured below). Mine didn't initially touch the horn, but it was never this far away. I pretty much have zero trust that anything is keying in correctly on mine.



Mine:

Should have mine by around 5pm today.

[Biggunz]

trying to think if this can even been changed on later issues???
was going to just finish the rest of my payments today...but now am thinking

that wiggle does seem a little much

[The SHOGUN]

These statues are top-notch, stunning. but I hate the crouching pose on Batman. I despise it.

thats good to hear. maybe just on a few they got a loose peg hole

Mine:

Wow that broken cape tip is terrible to see. My foot peg is 98% in the key hole and has a tiny bit of wiggle but no where near enough to move it down to the level yours did to break the tip.

Have you contacted prime 1 for answers? Hope it gets fixed.
