What is it with so many Sideshow PFs having this unnatural forward lean to them? Even if the character is in motion moving forward she'd still be standing up straight but that's not the case here. I'm hoping it's just how she's been positioned into the base but man am I getting tired of seeing this on nearly every SW PF they release.

I'm not seeing the lean you're describing in the pictures.

It's slight but for me it throws the look off enough that it's all I see.

I don't think she's leaning. I think if you put a straight line through her head to the base it'd line up. But the curve in her armor may make it look like it.

This character didn't really impress me in the movie. I know she is supposed to have a larger role in the next one but surprised people will shell out this much money for a somewhat lame character in episode 7. I mean her highlight was getting thrown in a dumpster.

If I put a straight line up and down that picture she doesn't line up. The line down the center of her helmet is the most obvious point of reference. Its slight but it's there. I saw it in other pictures before this one and was hoping it wasn't noticeable but for me it is.

Maybe it's just a personal pet peeve but it just looks unnatural. Like she's standing on the balls of her feet instead of her heels. Her weight should be on her back leg as she brings the other leg forward meaning she'd be leaning slightly back if anything.

I don't know what part is chrome, looks like they painted it all with a sliver/blue color paint.
