you can believe what you want I suppose, but the conditions in which a lot of ppl had their statues in were not severe enough to cause the lean itself. SS has a long track record of leaning statues, and it has nothing to do with the environment they are being kept in.

Yes but then it will cost a ton more then getting the already done statue and repaint it with a tiny new part or two and call it a new version. This way no need to hire a new team to do another one and profits will be like 90% more just like that. Otherwise A new version would be so much nicer for everyone. We know it won't happen. But it's ok to dream right?

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

I still don't see this as being a small run. Why would they go through the trouble of releaseing this piece again and make it an actual limited run. I see it with at least a run of 1k if not open ES just to fill interested buyers.

That's why I thought it would be some Es as its tbd ! Don't they usually say open or limited edition if it's open near the start!???

I think 1,500 is going to be the minimum in this line going forward

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

why would anyone order this, if the original looked like this after a while? and 1500 es? even if it's 150 es, it will be a money loser given the lean quality issues.

That image raises a lot of questions to me...
I own an AP of the original and have never had any such failure.

gagaliya, this looks like the back leg is somehow broken, or not in the right position, maybe lift up the skirt area and take some pics? Mine has not leaned nor moved at all.

there are at least 5-10 of those with the same exact lean. They can't all have broken back legs and I doubt they were seated improperly in the base. That's going to scare off some people. That being said, that ES is 3x bigger than it really should be, which means I will be in no hurry getting this now. I will prolly wait for a 20% discount or something because this is going to be around for a long time.
