If you don't want to live dangerously just take two shelving panels and stack them for the extra oomph.
Thanks for the pic, they look great! When you say shelving panels, what do you mean? Sorry for the potentially dumb question.

No problem. So in my picture, Joker and Harley are on one glass shelf that comes with the detolf. Notice how I have a bunch of wasted space above them because of Harley's height? This left me with an unused shelf. The pic I provide here shows you can double them up for extra thickness if you want.

There is nothing wrong with using u-bolts if you have the patience and a level. I don't have patience. I was going to do that but I wanted to try the normal way first. I've had Joker since release. No cracking, warping or bending of the shelf with them both displayed. I also don't have kids or animals so foot traffic is minimal.

On a sidenote. I purchased these last night on Lowes website. Here is the thread explaining why (second page) and the shopping link if you want to play with the height.

So got my Joker in tonight, had a chance to set him up and all in all I am extremely happy. The only lingering issue is he apparently doesnt sit 100% on the base. Both feet have a somewhat noticeable gap under each foot and wont sit entirely on the base. I tried taking everything off the base and putting it back together with the same result. I dont have any fear of it falling off or becoming too loose or anything but it kinda sucks to see it elevated ever so slightly.

Sometimes peg holes are too tight or not deep enough. This can be remedied by gently drilling wider/deeper holes. I recommend a hand drill rather than an electric drill (more control).

Also just noticed that the right canister is not entirely flush either but the canister with the actual plug is entirely seated so not sure whats happening there.

I took it apart again and got better results, still not 100% but I can live with it. The canister not sitting 100% is a bummer cause it makes it look a tad silly. Also noticed the smoke portion that came with mine has quite a few rough parts on it, almost white hairline scratches. Laughably one of the cards in the smoke was printed horribly, one is mostly white with the red colored portion being all the way towards one corner so it looks pretty bad. Luckily its hidden by his leg with how I have have situated.

These are the 3 biggest issues on mine. I would say the Jokers feet not being 100% are lowest on the totem pole. The terrible print job on one of the cards is a bummer but I can get past it. The biggest issue to me is the pretty big gap on the gas canister. It has a noticeable lean when I have the statue on display and I have tried everything short of breaking it apart to get it to sit right. Not really sure what to do in this case. This is my first tweeterhead piece and while I love it I just dont really like feeling forced to deal with qc issues.

So I was looking at every ones pics/vids on here and noticed that couple cards on mine are in different positions from everyone elses. I even compared this to the proto pics. The joker card that is the central focus in the pic below is meant to be horizontal and not vertical as it is in mine. I really feel like my whole gas canister piece along with the gas trail is just messed up. But I fear that since I bought it from Speculative Fiction I dont stand a chance on getting a replacement part.

Contact TJ at SpecFiction I'm sure he will work with you to resolve the issue.

Here are pictures of mine from your three trouble areas to compare. You can use them if you need to show the differences for a replacement. Like built said just contact Todd I'm sure he'll do right by you with this.

I dunno, that canister would be an automatic replace if I got it like that.
