More specifically, large statues with a prop supported only by a metal rod attached to a base, like the XM Studios Batgirl below. It looks like it's only attached at the ball of her left foot, and the statue is 25'' high weighing about 27 lbs (don't know if "product weight" includes the whole box). I keep imagining a large earthquake (I'm in the west coast) would break either the foot/lower leg, or at least bend the metal insert.
I have a 1/7 scale resin model with a similar pose that's much smaller at less than 2 lbs and watching it shake holding the base gives me goosebumps. Or am I just being paranoid? Before you say so, yes there would be more important things to worry about in a large earthquake and I'm excluding things falling on the statue.
I even asked XM and they say it probably wouldn't stand an earthquake, but they probably don't want to promise anything. She mentioned using clear glue like cyanoacrylate aka super glue for broken pieces, but I've heard others saying epoxy is better for larger porcelain statues?
