SUCCESS!!!!!!
Okay, after a little bit of work, I present to you the way the Queen Facehugger should have looked all along!
I went with my "option 2" but I didnt want to use the existing rod because:
a) I didnt know exactly what metal it was made of, and some metals dont bend well, they BREAK.
b) If my attempts were unsuccessful, I didnt want to attempt to sell mine WITHOUT its original rod.
Sooo... I used some 3/8 copper tubing cut down to exactly 14cm, with a roughly 12 degree bend (with some slight s-curve correction on top). I also did some painting on it to closer match the base (instead of the original rod's solid black). It held the weight just fine, but I'm reinforcing it by filling its insides with epoxy putty just to be safe. Her legs are all now barely off the base (2mm just to be safe), except for the middle 2 (which are supossed to be "up").
I've included pictures of what it looks like with the original rod and the "new" rod.
I think it turned out FANTASTIC, and the new Rod is much less noticeable as well. No "hovering" Aliens for me! But enough of my talk, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves....
kaiju-
you officlally rock!!! i am sorry i ever made any jokes about your rod.
Its a shame my work on the clear ones were in vain. But that's what I get for jumping the gun and not taking into consideration the potential weight distribution. 
CONGRATS!!
This is most excellent news!!!
I do have one question for you though.....where did you buy the copper rod and how did you bend and cut it to the shape you wanted? I noticed you cut the grooves into the top and bottom of it.
Did a store cut and bend it for you? If not, can you think of some place that might do this?
I really want to do this mod but am not sure how or where to start?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
again, excellent work......simply EXCELLENT!! I wish SSC would have made it like this to begin with
Thanks for the compliments! And that's a whole lot more than "one question"!
Copper Tube was $2.50 ft (smallest length I could find) at Lowes/Home Depot (look in the plumbing area). All of it was cut and grooved by hand using a Dremel (for the love of God, dont forget eye gear!) and bent by hand (use sturdy rounded area like a large PVC pipe, to get a smooth curve). As for a place that might do this, I dont know, but a couple of members on the statueforums have inquired about buying them from me, which I might consider doing.
I'm also surprised why SSC didnt do this. I shouldnt be the one coming up with this kind of correction. Sideshow should hire me for QC/QA
yeah, it was a little more than one question, LOL hahaha Im sure a lot of us here and on statueforums would greatly appreciate it.

), I will be building these to the specifications that fit my facehugger. My facehuggers legs are comfortably about 2mm off the base, and each rod will be tested to comply with this. In the off chance that for whatever reason your QF's legs are slightly different, you may or may not experience a "touching" leg. This is fine and is unlikey to cause or do any damage as 99% of the weight is still being supported by the rod itself), and an adjustment pad will be included to offset some of these discrepencies. But needless to say, Kaiju Customs is not liable for any lose or damages. Void where prohibited. 
good
it sits a little high on the rod, but I may make one, or live with it...not sure....I would get one from kaiju, but $20 is a little steep for a rod for me, sorry
. And for those wondering:
No, offense taken
$2.50. Rod
$3.50. Epoxy filler
$3.00+ shipping
So, I'm cutting, bending, scoring, filling, and painting the rod for roughly $10 a piece. Which is FAR less than I get paid per hour at my "real" job.
