Vinyl Vixen leaning problem

[Hannay]

Hi all, I have been noticing my Harley leaning to the left towards the mallet and the Poison Ivy leaning back towards her hair. The leaning to me is more apparent when next to each other and even more now with my new Catwoman. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this or am I just seeing things?
Here are a few pictures, I tried to capture the angle. Any insight would be great, thanks![albumfull]28074[/albumfull][albumfull]28073[/albumfull][albumfull]28043[/albumfull]

Ugh that stinks! I've been hearing that Harley is leaning a lot and her mallet is on its own too. My Barnes and Noble's display one is also leaning. It's the only thing that has stopped me from buying these since I'm an OOB collector. I've heard some people suggest sticking metal rods in them as support, but I don't know.

Try moving it around on the pegs. When I unboxed mine I had to find the right spot to make it stand still.
You'll have to move it around to figure out what works best for it.

Thank you for the responses. She is firmly on the base and the pegs are in both her feet correctly. She seems to be leaning from the ankle area and will after a few hours will topple over with the base still attached.
I am trying to plan out how to use a rod or twine maybe to pull her back straight at a cross angle from her right upper arm to the left side of the base.

Just took my Harley out of the box and she stands fine, even without the included stand. You can try to move her mallet toward her body a little to give it a better center of gravity and see if that helps.

My Ivy also stands fine as long as it is attached to the stand. Mine are off though because their feet don't line up with the pegs on the stand so I have to bend their legs in order for them to fit. I rather not do that so I just secure one of the feet and it's fine. I can imagine that Wonder Woman might give similar issues because her hair is heavy like Ivy's.

I have the same problem, that's why I'm currently searching for support rods

I'll try to upload some pics later of mine.

Ok thanks Big M, I would like to see pictures of others.
For my two that are leaning, it wasn't an intimidate issue. It took a few days, maybe even a week or so before Harley just fell right over. A loud *thunk* from the shelf made be look up and found nothing near the area that would have caused the sound. That is when it was all noticed and started driving me crazy.

Yeah, my Harley has some serious swagger and her mallet is a little droopy-their heads are too heavy and are slowly warping their skinny legs. The ol' heat it up and reshape it trick might work.

Anyone else having similar problems with these??????? Please post.

Mine lean too. They are hair/top heavy. I had them perfectly balanced but then we had a tiny earthquake the other day and they were the only things that fell over! Doh.

[BigM]

Ok. So I am not having these problems, fortunately.

I took some pics of mine and I tried to show the angles and placement on the bases. Hope this helps. I can provide more pics if need be.

Poison Ivy side view. Note that One of her legs is sitting next to the peg instead of inside.


Catwoman side view. I did the same thing with her as I did with Ivy, One leg in, one out.


Side View 1. Harley and Wonder Woman seem to fit in the pegs fine.
