So there seems to be some rumbling in the Rogue thread that this guy is developing a lean, which is making me paranoid. My statue has a tiny (less than a mm) wobble side to side although he seems to be sitting completely flush in the base (left foot is 100% sitting on the sentinel finger).

As I'm not on any of the Facebook groups, can someone provide some more information and /or photos on what's going on with this one?

I have had mine for awhile now, and no issues. As far as the tiny wobble you mentioned. I have realized after quite a few purchases, not all the statues will be 100% perfect there will be minor imperfections. Yes they are expensive, yes you want them to be perfect. Just doesnt happen all the time.

How can this lean???? It weighs nothing and is firmly planted into a heavy base. I don’t get it

Mine had a wobble from the get-go. Nothing big, though. Only way I can really see this leaning over time is if people aren't setting it all the way into the base or it's displayed in high temperatures/humidity...or both. The peg is thick enough and long enough that I think if it's firmly in the base and the temperature is decent you should be good. Of course, what do I know?

Mine is still all good. However, I have no wobble and my figure is perfectly flush on the base.

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

Mine fit perfectly in, no lean, no wobble, no wobble on the heads either. I guess I was one of the lucky ones

It's only planted firmly if people plant it firmly when they first insert it. I think that's where problems are going to start from.

I don't mind the wobble at all, the only reason I mentioned it was that others seemed to be suggesting it as a precursor to a lean. Otherwise my piece seems solid and is standing as straight as when I first got him as far as I can tell. Mostly just curious if there's anything to the talk or if it's the usual exaggerated issues on the internet / board.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

This piece is solid, enjoy. Don't listen to all the mindless BS the XM fartboys have tried to taint this wonderful sculpt with. Note the lesson, and learn how to recognize the stench.
