Plus, you can see that all my stuff is behind glass and also never exposed to sunlight. |

It's a defect at this point and SS should take care of it but they obviously are not which is pathetic because at 500 bucks, it shouldn't fail like that. |

Could it possibly be the climate causing this? Humidity might accelerate the appearance of a defect, but this leaning issue is gonna happen sooner or later. The underlying cause is poor engineering. |

Demona Lex Luthor Join Date: May 2009 Location: Dela-where?? Posts: 18,049 | Good luck, Jigga. I hope the repair works wonders and you can enjoy this piece again Now back to SS knowing the statue is defective - why be such money grubbing punks?! There are examples of other companies replacing entire statues in their own dime due to known defects. XM replaced entire batches of their Black Widow! No questions asked and even if the piece had no lean because they knew it was going to eventually do it. SideShow is ripping people off and could just step up and do right by their customers. This is why I still order from them, but NEVER play their “credit” game when I have any QC issues. I will try to get a flawless statue or replacement part, but if that fails - it all goes straight back. I follow through with my end of the purchasing agreement by paying in full and on their schedule. Their end is to deliver, and stand by, the quality of their products. |

Tbolt Inconceivable! Adamantium Member Join Date: Apr 2013 Posts: 4,714 | This is the first time I am hearing about this statue leaning. I somehow doubt this is a widespread problem that Sideshow is knowingly ignoring as it has been portrayed. What the OP should have done was try the suggested heat trick, see if it worked and held, then during the few days they give you to accept either took the credit or returned it. And really? 10 statues? Name them. There was a bad batch of Superman, 1/2 scale Wolverine, Sinestro, what else has known widespread leaning issues? |

I've been following them pretty closely for the past 3 years and I can't think of any pieces released in that time frame with widespread leaning issues. I Guess widespread issues here in the forums are considered everything 2 and above. |
