Vega is at a more extreme angle than this and that's fine.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's been designed to balance right and the weight will be distributed correctly.

Why isn't PCS designing these for longevity? and what makes you so sure about that? I find that to be an odd statement.

Sure, they're fine now, and of course they look well balanced. Time, the elements and gravity will keep working against it. I prefer my statues on a bit more solid footing.

What I mean by not designing for longevity is that the Ultra line has been about pushing the boundaries of dynamic poses in 1/4 scale, than worrying about how these statues would hold up in a decade or more.

[DeadGhostKnight]

I would say leaning is down to bad materials more so than extreme pose.

Of course reinforcing/balancing a pose helps, like the Sideshow Spidey PF for example, but something like the LSF Wolverine from Sideshow leans like a ----- and that's not an extreme pose at all it's just not well made.

Solid footing doesn't always guarantee no leaning.

I think the black would look better accented with gold or white like color 11/15 in SFV. A really deep black mixed with gold.

I mean the current looks good. Color 15 is just super stylish imo.

Black looks nice but i would have loved to see a different colour for this one, i know eveyone wanted the white and it would have been cool, maybe down to what Capcom wanted?

The original mixed media Vega stood upright, and most of them had the tendency to lean like a noodle. I'm not sure if it was the lack of metal rods, or what, but I'm glad I sold it before it got worse. That said, I did enjoy it for the time I had it, and I guess that could be said about the hobby in general.

Every p2 Bison has been black. The eventual 1/3 Bison p2 will be black most likely.

I have to say I'm disappointed it's black again. Had it been blue and gold it would have gone perfectly with the Shadaloo Cammy ex!

Is the skirt separate from the statue? It looks fragile if it's one piece (attached) to the body. Would prefer if Bison not have white hair. Otherwise everything looks great.
