Hey SF brothers and sisters,
I have some information that I hope will prove helpful to anyone who owns and displays this statue. Sorry if this has already been revealed by someone else.
So, after hearing about the leaning issues I've been compelled to stare at my Superman PF every time I enter my statue room.
I've noticed Zero leaning (as I reported in an earlier post a few pages back).
But.....
The case that he is housed in happens to have a glass bottom, so I can get a nice look at the bottom of the base at eye level. And from underneath if I wished.
Again, my Superman was exhibiting no noticeable lean.
Upon my eye level inspection of the bottom of the base I could easily tell that the 'Cape Side' bottom of the base was noticeably closer to the glass than the opposing side!
The pad wasn't moved or missing, but getting compressed by the weight on the cape side of the statue!
A quick addition of a fresh felt pad put the horizon of the base back on point.
And I can see that the old pad no longer touches the case! It was really getting squished!
So collectors, nip this in the bud before it becomes an issue for you.
I'm hoping to find a shim or coin to place under that side that'll be a permanent solution. Because I'm sure a pad will have to be replaced periodically.
Hope this helps.
