Don’t think the initial intention was for Supes to lean. I’ve attached a photo of the prototype from their display booth at SDCC I believe which stands straight and doesn’t lean.

I’ve mentioned this to Debbie and emailed a photo. If they’re redoing the statues anyway, they should fix the tilt issue as well to match the prototype.

How does redoing the whole run work by the way? Will they be replacing all units or at least to those who has issues with it? What about those in other countries? Any ideas? I think my piece looks crappy and honestly felt like a trial/reject item. Thanks

I believe Chad is doing a livestream next week. I suspect we’ll get details then.

Tweeteread Facebook page is where all past ones have been. We usually get a heads up on this forum as to exact day and time.

I added a 5th bumper to the far right...



From this angle, he’s 100% vertical...



From the below angle, there’s still a bit of a lean, but I prefer the above display option.

Here's some new info:

1) Chad will be doing a livestream tomorrow.

2) The factory is remaking the entire run. If the source you received that statue from (other than Tweeterhead) has not contacted you, you might want to contact them. At this time, Tweeterhead doesn't know how those sources will handle returns of the initial run, but those sources are receiving replacements, so you will be taken care of.

3) Tweeterhead is estimating the replacements will arrive in April. If you purchased directly from them, you will be asked to destroy the first-run statue and supply Tweeterhead a photo showing you did so. At that time, your replacement will ship.

More detailed info from Chad tomorrow!

Nice! I'll definitely be interested in picking this one up once the new pieces arrive to retailers.

Someone has to dress up as Lex Luthor and record this.

Has this ever happened in statues? Even with the issues I'd feel bad destroying one.
