On mine, without the pad, the base tilts in that direction. Adding the pad evened the base out.

This.

Even when I tried to even the base my Superman still leans. Nonetheless, will Tweeterhead at the very least add that extra bumper pad? OR better yet look into retooling the hole in the base as Hellboy suggests.

Maybe grphyx can help intervene and ask Chad for us. I posted this as the very last question from the last live FB feed but my question got completely ignored.

By design the base isn’t level across the top though. It’d be different if it were a level platform and it was visibly tilted, but it’s not. So to say the base is leaning and not the statue itself isn’t really accurate in my eyes. Putting a pad under a base to get the statue straight up and down just puts a larger gap on the underside of the base one side Vs the other. Either the connection point should be retooled changing the angle of the statue or the bottom of the base should have some more height added to compensate. Changing the thickness of the pads is just the easy way to address a design flaw.

Well, that fifth pad shouldn't be thicker than the others, but a lack of a pad can cause a base to tilt. My Sideshow Batgirl had a similar problem because the pads weren't evenly spaced.

At one point during the video he switched to answering questions posted in Statueforum. So saying it was ignored is inaccurate. Probably didn’t check FB live again after the SF questions. Chad and Debbie are probably the best on customer service I’ve seen so don’t make assumptions.

Well if you’re not raising one end of the base higher you’re not gonna straighten him out. At least that was the case with mine. If someone’s base is dipping in one corner simply due to the lack of a pad that’s a different story.
