Premium Format Sideshow Superman PF - How to prevent leaning issues?

[Toy Magnate]

Hey guys! After seeing SS Superman PF from different sources.. I guess everybody knows that there is indeed a leaning issue. I'm planing to display just now and i'm hoping you guys can offer some options i can do to prevent leaning on him. Thanks in advance!

I've had mine on display for about a year and a bit now and he's not leaning. Is the problem common?

 

[SuperJ300]

I've made sure my cabinet is level.

4 simple steps, unless you do want to use the stock cape.

Did exactly the same, and looking good so far:

I love the colors on your pic, Batsheva. The cape looks imperial.

 

[batsheva]

Thank you. Just pick the one with deep red, that match the red on the logo and the trunks. But pick the red that is closer to the logo.

Yes its common.. no leaning on yours for over a year?

Thanks for the Detailed tip.. will try this.. but i'm looking for now for a leaning prevention on the sculpted cape.

No he's still in good condition. I'm in Canada though so maybe the lower temperatures help

I'm from the Chicagoland area and have had him displayed since April of last year with no leaning issues.

Are we really at the point where "common" describes how widespread this problem is? Are we talking 1%, 10%, or more? Just a week or two ago, I thought "rare" was a better descriptor.

New York here, pretty hot/humid summer and I have 0 lean.

Rare still is the better term

That's the magic of Internet and forums. People who experience issues tend to share more and louder than the others, hence the impression a problem is more widely spread than it is actually.

Yeah but it has deterred me enough that I won't be purchasing this. Would be different if SSC had even a decent return policy but I don't see them doing squat on a statue that leans months after purchase.

They offered to refund me on a leaning statue well after the return period. So my experience is different.
