I do not feel that this is a bad sign for Tweeterhead overall but I do feel that maybe this statue just had a run of bad luck. I know there were some Bowen statue that had issues (Hela not fitting into her base, Polaris leaning) and I do think this statue, despite how nice it looks, is experiencing the same thing.

I live in a tropical country by the way, where the temperature is perennially between 25 to 30 degrees celcius. You may want to observe your statue during the warmer summer months if you are living in a temperate country.
Okay, thought that might have something to do with it. Yeah, I'll probably box it up before the summer. Thanks for the info.

I lived in Jamaica for several years and the heat melts everything, asphalt included. Not a surprise that it would do that to resin. My comic collection was a mess from humidity. My harley is in a relatively cool location and the smoke trail is fine

I double checked my Harley and although I got her a little after most of you, so far there are no lean issues. I took her down and placed her right back in the foam with no issues.

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

Must be the weather in this country I'm in then. I keep the statue in a well shaded spot, away from the window and sunlight, but I guess the temperature is still too high. I'll just have to find a way to support the statue. Pity, cos I really like this statue, I hope Tweeterhead will keep in mind there are collectors in hotter parts of the world too.

Here in the Midwest we get a few weeks of sub 0f (-18c) and a few weeks of over 100f (38c) every year. We had a little ice storm yesterday, will be 69f (21c) this afternoon then drop back down to 28f (-2c) tonight. Climate controlled houses are key.

An LCS in my area got one with a cleanly-cut mask.

Hey Team - My exclusive Harley head was damaged upon arrival and Debbie mentioned in email 03/15 that they were getting replacement heads in about 3 weeks from then and that she'd added me to the list. That was 7 weeks ago. Anyone receive word on replacement exclusive heads eta?

I saw this in a local shop it was much larger than what I expected to be 1/6. Not disappointed in my pre order of the joker ex because this size is the exact size of Batman vs Bane dio from Iron Studios. Now I can purchase a few villains and place them around dio in scale to it and create something unique . Hopefully more villains are released soon.

I posted this earlier in the thread, but I guess it should be posted again. It would help if the OP added it to the OP, but most people don't maintain threads that they start.
