Black Cat Assitance

Has anyone had issues with this piece tipping forward, and how did you display it to counteract its offset center of gravity? Any help would be appreciated

If its leaning forward, it will keep leaning more and more over time. Ive had several pieces from Sideshow do this to me and every time I had to send off to have the entire leg pin redone by someone. Not sure this is what you want to hear but thats all I got.

Do you mean the base along with the statue tips forward? Just by itself?

I'm not sure if this was the statue, but I seem to remember a conversation ...about something like the base was missing one or two of those "felt circles" under the base. More specifically under the letter "C" in the word "CAFE" at the bottom of the base. Or maybe the "felt circles" were not close enough to the edge ...which allows the base to tip?

Is yours that way?

I think I put a couple nickels under the front to balance mine out.

I hope there isn’t anything wrong with this piece. I’m going to start hunting the secondary market for statues since I don’t see SS making another PF Black Cat anytime soon.

If only Sideshow would have put out a new updated Classic Felicia in 1/4 scale the way Felicia should be made.

But I guess an Elektra was nice. :-/

Have the piece,was missing a felt circle and the base leaned when we got it. SS sent some more and problem solved ever since. Absolutely adore this piece.
