Question for those who have received theirs. Does the right foot rest on top of the mechs head? After assembling mine when you add the green energy the connects to his ring arm it lifts up above the head. I have tried adjusting it but no luck. Rests fine on the head until I add the energy that connects mech head to ring arm. Any assistance is appreciated, thanks.

On mine the foot does rest properly on the base. If you are sure it's the energy piece lifting the body, I would use a hair dryer to heat up that energy piece to make it pliable. Assemble while still hot, and let the body settle down as it slowly cools.

Thanks SDguy for the input. Is the energy a vinyl that is moldable when heated? I am going to disassemble it it a little bit.

Resin in general will be somewhat pliable when heated. I am not sure how much cold cast porcelain, which is what I believe XM uses, will move, but it doesn't look like you need much.
