Really? With all these constant fears and talk of leaning, where is the historical proof of this? I’ve never heard of any statue run having to be recalled due to excessive leaning issues? Does it happen? Sure. But every production run produces some lemons, in every industry, with any product.

But for some to still keep dragging-up this silly fear, and questioning the integrity of a multi million dollar company, with decades in the game, is sadly pathetic.

Either that, or SS, the biggest company of it’s kind, has a deathwish, and is doing everything in their power to conceive and construct the most unstable offerings on the market. And yet, they must be pretty bad at it, cause I’ve never heard of snapping wrists for spidey, venom, rogue, or tumbling Juggs, or guessing that gambit is doa? And this, after thousands of released statues. Go figure.

I've seen the Superman PF lean for one.

Maybe the decision to change it wasn’t structural and was aesthetic.

When displayed from the front I think the production will look better than the prototype.

I know my faith is restored. Reductio ad absurdum.

When I am given a lemon, I make lemonade.

Some cheese wedges, and you will be right as rain.

Instead of calling other people’s concerns silly and pathetic all you had to do was image search “sideshow lean” and look at the statues that pop up over and over. You’ve never heard of any statue run being recalled because usually by the time the leaning happens people are just stuck.

Also you used bad examples. Spidey was a big turning point when it came to engineering and a case where SS reps discussed it multiple times, but don’t take my word for it, you can look the thread up and check it out so you can read the proof.

Yup. But hey you can get an awesome $50 credit for that ruined $600+ statue you bought.
