Only way to ensure stability is to have Rogue be made of vinyl instead of polystone. It’ll turn a lot of collectors off but I don’t see a metal rod holding a polystone body long term like that.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Or maybe they can revisit her base and find a way to make her left leg attach to it so there will be 2 support. 1 from her right arm and one from her leg.

Stop trying to make excuses for shoddy manufacturing.
I have a feeling that SS using this breakage as a prime excuse to make her body out of PVC. Even if they run the rod through her arm and into her body (as they have already claimed to be), something has to change.
Edit: I am trying and failing to find the pic I saw of her under glass on SM. Lord there are a ton of con pics.

Like others had said though. Slideshow displayed these atop janky broken styrofoam. If someone bumped the entire stand, would it be unreasonable to think that one teetered on this broken styrofoam and fell/broke? Or even a shake caused a pin to slide out, when they have full intentions to make it magnetic in production?
I’m not trying to jump down their throat, but I do think an explanation is due. Especially since their are conflicting quotes supposedly coming from different members of staff.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

PVC bends too. They would need to castthe arm metal or something like that to make it stable.

Plausible...but when it happens to the one statue that gives collectors the most concern most aren’t going to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I’ve been collecting for almost a decade now I’ve never heard of an entire statue breaking due to audience members bumping into the display. A small part yes, but an entire statue toppling over? Sounds like it wasn’t stable to begin with.

I’d be ok with that. Also knock down the price(no more fancy engineering) and sculpt an EX head.

Well if they have to go back to fix this, the time and money will be passed to the buyers. If that's the case expect to pay 800-899 for this. The consumers always pays for everything that will need to be done.
