This statue has major leaning issues, my first one never sat right in the base and now the replacement is starting to lean. Hopefully SSC will take care of me, i've never had to replace an RMA that i've had for a month or two. I definately don't want another replacement if its just going to lean over time.

I thought my Phoenix had leaning issues but it wasn't positioned correctly in the base so she was front on. When I twisted her leg in the base anticlockwise she straightened up and the lean went away.

I can twist her leg so she is upright but it doesn't stay that way, it just turns back to the leaning position on its own. It shouldn't be twisting on its own, but the wieght of the statue pulls it out of position. Has to be a design flaw. When I first put her together it was perfect but over time the hole has loosened up or something so it twists on its own, not secure at all

After a few minutes it ends up like this

if it's not structurally compromised and it's just the peg hole, I would get some museum putty and fill in the gap. should keep it upright.
