Ditto. I've had mine displayed since I got her in May of 2019 and also no leaning of any kind. That's almost 4 years of her being on display with zero issue.

I recall SSC showing us the support structure for the Rogue MAQ ...and it was beefy.

My Rogue MAQ EX shows no sign of leaning either.

Rogues right arm was 100% metal as far as i recall.
I wonder if Zatanna has a 100% metal leg?
Would a thick square rod be up for the job?
Sideshow could have used the same light-weight resin they used on Power Girl's portrait.

I guess all these questions and more will be answered soon

I would be more concern about the glass-like material cracking (where the peg contacts the surface) over time.

I wonder if the EX will go back in stock once it?s starts shipping?

This is my concern as well. I?m sure sideshow used a metal rod all the way up the leg until at least her hip. But the base is my concern.

Here is why using the Rogue statue is only a half-way comparison, Rogue has a whole metal arm. Which is similar to Zatanna having a whole metal leg. But Rogue connects to a substantially sized robotic arm that is also reinforced. Those two things together make Rogue strong a stable. The base for Zatanna is thin and she has a narrower thin key.

I think a more apt comparison to structures will be how Power Girl and even Storm hold up over time. But Storm’s key in the tornado is much larger than Zatanna’s tiny shoe. I can let y?all know how Storm does

Zatanna's leg doesn't need to be 100% metal. The Spider-Man PF vaulting over the crane with his right arm didn't have 100% metal right arm. He did have a thick rod support through his right arm that went all the way to his right thigh, tho. And that's what this Zatanna PF really needs also. Just a thick support rod from the hole & key at the base all way up to her hip.

That red/blue Spider-Man PF vaulting over the crane had a Symbiote Spider-Man PF variant in the same pose. Both version did not lean.

I am assuming the reflective base is made from mirror plexiglass glued onto the usual type of resin used for bases, which sometimes seems to be different resin material compared to the pieces.
