Definitely. The extreme angle on his pose and only one contact point has me all kinds of nervous.

I think nearmints recent post about Elektra leaning should be a red flag on this piece and other pieces that try to defy the effects of gravity. I also have Elektra and notice something similar as he describes with an elevated foot although not as bad. The design is inherently prone to lean just based on the body pose and center of mass being off. This could have been helped with a pin on each foot. Another thing that increases the issue is uneven pads on the bottom of the piece. My attempt to fix the issue was to add pads on the gargoyle facing side as where expect most will lean.

I would like to see other peoples set up and if their back legs touch and how their angle compares to the images above. This could be a longer term problem for people if they don't address the center of mass issue. I wonder if this is what happened to nearmint and may in the future happen to many of you. I have my eye on mine.

And then Sideshow is releasing a Flash PF with an even more extreme center of mass position? Good luck.

I'm checking my Elektra daily. I have wondered if i should address a possible future issue by gluing the non-pegged foot now?

Checked mine again, with all the concern on her at the moment thought I'd have a second look, perfectly straight and still tight to the base, but the room she's in as always quite cool and the shelving is perfectly level...as ukshaun has said it might help.

Those are good points. The problem I think over time will be the pads getting crushed on one side. Need to be proactive and beef it up.

How long have you had her for?

I got mine when they started shipping her and she now wobbles on her base. Im afraid she is gonna get worse over time. She does slightly lean to her right at the moment.

Got her around mid-June, so about 4 1/2 months, wondering if it could be a batch problem...

P.s welcome to the forum

Just watched nearmint's "rant", that has got to be the politest and most respectful rant I have ever seen

I suck at rants. I’m thinking of taking a class.
